Brewed to a Greater Magnitude

Our Seismic Mission is to brew uniquely flavorful, outstanding craft beer, while re-writing the books on sustainable brewing.

We love beer, and we love living in Sonoma County. From our Pilsner to our IPA, each of our beers has been brewed true to style, but with our own Northern California twist. Because we want to preserve the privilege of living in this beautiful region of the world for the next generation, we are pioneering new brewing tech and utilizing renewable energy to help establish new benchmarks of sustainable brewing.

Alluvium

After a full-day brewing beer, a pilsner is the go-to beer for most on our team. This hoppy pilsner was brewed for our crew and all our fellow brewers out there! Inspired by the traditional pilsners of Northern Germany, Alluvium is brewed with 100% Bohemian malt to get the crisp, clean finish that is a hallmark of German Pilsner. Generously hopped, Alluvium is aromatically imbued with the spicy noble hops and a pleasantly bitter finish. Prost!

Mozacca

This IPA is an IPA for hop heads. Each hop is loaded with essential oils redolent of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine. Built upon a luxurious malt foundation and dry-hopped with Mosaic, Azacca, and Citra, Mozacca bursts with flavors of mango, pineapple, papaya, and tangerine. This incredibly well-balanced IPA with a slick oily mouthfeel and the warmth of 6.8% ABV create an experience that demands a return trip. Enjoy!

Liquifaction

Rooted in the history of Koln (Cologne), Germany, Kolsch is an old-world beer style known for its subtly understated flavors of malt and fruit. We enhance this delicate-yet-delicious flavor profile with floral hop nobility and a distinct San Francisco sourdough character to create an homage to the traditional Kolsch beer with a modern twist.

Namazu

With over 3 pounds of hops per barrel, this generously dry-hopped beer boasts tropical, citrusy aromas and a luxurious, lush mouthfeel from the inclusion of flaked oats. Ale aficionados of all types will be surprised and delighted by Namazu.

“We have one rule: create flavor profiles that change the way you think about beer.”

Christopher Jackson

President & Founder

“Ever since someone tasted the fermented water used in bread making, beer has been an inextricable part of our culture.”

Seismic Sustainability

Our philosophy is simple: if we want to make great beer today, tomorrow, and for years to come, we must be good stewards of our resources and our community. We subscribe to the “3 P’s” of Sustainable Business: People, Planet, and Prosperity.

Water Conservation

Water conservation is a priority for all Californians, so we challenged ourselves to build the most water efficient brewery in the world. Our goal: an unprecedented 2:1 water-to-beer ratio. How will we pull this off? We partnered with Cambrian to build the first-of-its-kind EcoVolt Mini, which allows us capture, clean, and reuse 90% of our wastewater for cleaning and other brewery uses.

Energy Efficiency

The Water, Hops, and Barley aren’t the only natural ingredients in our beer. Our brewery is 100% powered the locally sourced, renewable geothermal energy of Sonoma Clean Power’s EverGreen program. Our team also incorporated a few more innovative engineering tricks into the design of the brewery which help reduce our energy consumption.

Reducing Our Footprint

Did you know cans help preserve beer quality better than glass? It’s true. That’s why all of our packaged beer will be in CANS ONLY. Canning beer is also better for the environment, as it is lighter to ship than glass (reducing fossil fuel usage), requires less energy to chill (and keep cold), is more likely to be recycled than bottles, & it requires less energy to convert recycled material to brand new cans.

Building Community

Brewing great beer is what we do, but our friends, family, and community are why we do it. Whether its using American-made steel for our brewhouse, or donating our spent grain to a local, sustainable farm, we are proud that our beers help support other businesses that are also working hard to grow our local economy.
