Black Diamond Brewing Company

The mining town residents came from all over the world, but to a large extent, from Wales. Their lives were characterized by hard work and long hours. They were strong, sturdy folk and may not have realized the magnitude of role they played in the growth of America. They built a railroad to the Sacramento River. Sent coal down the river. Coal was the petroleum of the 19th century, fueling the Gold Rush, changing the west forever.

Occasional celebrations were important to help sustain the dedicated miners, and beer became a favored beverage.

This spirit of hard work and celebration of life lies near the core of our philosophy. Iechyd da!

As we expand our territory and available styles in bottles and draught, we continue to hold to our roots — sourcing the best ingredients, working hard and never compromising. These are the tenets of our company and celebrating life is the just reward.

We hope you too will join us in this celebration of life. If you’re out and about, you can find Black Diamond brews at select Safeway, Whole Foods, Raley’s, Costco, Nugget, Lunardi’s as well as many fine independent bottle shops.
