According to a recently submitted permit application, Barebottle Brewing Company plans to begin operating out of a new location in Walnut Creek.

Coming to 1375 S California Boulevard, the facility will land near establishments such as Andaman Thai Walnut Creek, a Kwik Serv gas station, and Trader Joe’s.

What Now San Francisco reached out to the company’s co-founder, Lester Koga, to inquire about his plans for the spot, but he could not provide additional information before publication.

For readers who are unfamiliar with the business, it offers a brief introduction on its website: “Barebottle Brewing Company was co-founded by Lester Koga, Michael Seitz, and Ben Sterling, three friends and former classmates at Cornell Business School in Ithaca, NY. After moving from Ithaca to the Bay Area in 2007, the three began homebrewing, became certified beer judges, and began winning medals at homebrewing competitions.”

The statement continues, “Barebottle brews innovative beers inspired by the San Francisco Bay Area using local ingredients wherever possible, and partners with local homebrewing groups to develop new beers using a competitive method.”

Barebottle currently operates taprooms and beer gardens in Bernal Heights, Menlo Park, Salesforce Park, and Santa Clara.

An opening date has not been announced yet. Stay tuned for updates.
