SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) - Tower Brewing Company is very excited to announce new, fun things happening in the brew house as well as the taproom here in East Sacramento, CA. We have partnered with new distributors, and we’re brewing amazing new beer thanks to our new head brewer, Alex Tonello.

Alex has an especially strong passion for brewing beer; he spent nearly ï¬ve years brewing for Knee Deep Brewing Company in Auburn, CA before relocating to the Sacramento area and excelled as the head brewer for New Helvetia Brewing. In October 2020, he joined us here at Tower Brewing to take his skills and our offerings to the next level. Alex plans to experiment with new, out of the box brewing concepts while continuing to make consistent, well balanced beer. His favorite styles to brew are West Coast IPAs, Kettle Sours and a wide range of crushable Lagers. Outside of the brewery, he enjoys golï¬ng, ï¬shing and sharing the fruits of his labor with friends and family. We are proud to welcome Alex to the Tower Brew Crew!

With a great new brewer, of course, comes great new beer. The newest members of the Tower Brewing family of beers are the Crannibalism Tart Ale and Runnin’ with the Double West Coast Double IPA. The tart ale was brewed with over 500 pounds of cranberries – that’s a quarter-ton of ï¬,avor! – and offers moderately tart characteristics to perfectly pair with your holiday feast. Runnin’ with the Double is a fruit-forward double IPA, perfectly bitter with delicious tones of orange candy and lemon.

Our taproom is also wonderfully decorated by the talented AJ Kute! We have a beautiful new mural outside, and some great art inside as well. AJ found his love for art about 15 years ago and began working on murals in 2010. He has also been partnered with a local mural festival titled “Wide Open Walls” for the past three years. Drop in to see his beautiful art and stay tuned as he continues to add to our décor!

We have also purchased a new canning line that will help Tower can our beer more efï¬ciently for quick grab-and-go service at the tap room, as well as help ensure our beer is readily available for our new distributors! We are now partnered with Superior Products (Northern CA), Chrissa Imports (South Bay Area) and Mussetter Distributing (Greater Sacramento) as well as Bay Area Distributing. Thanks to our greater outreach, Monkey Knife Fight and our other ï¬ne offerings are now available all over California. Superior Products serves counties including Arbuckle, Colusa County, Williams, Willows, Corning, Red Bluff, Cottonwood, Anderson, and Redding. Bay Area Distributing serves Contra Costa and Alameda County.

2020 has been a tough year for all of us, but new beer, new art, and a revitalized Tower Brewing tap room point to a 2021 that will be worth welcoming. Cheers!
