History
Founder, brewmaster and abbot Brian Hunt started the brewing company in 1992, not for profit but to "support his habit". With a degree in Fermentation Science from UC Davis, and years experience as a brewmaster and beer consultant, Hunt saw the brewery as a chance to become self-employed. At the age of 35, he purchased an 11,000-square-foot (1,000 m2) tractor barn in Windsor, California along with 200 beer kegs. In 2003 the brewery was moved to a building designed specifically for the purpose of brewing beer and was designated an Abby. Moonlight Brewing cultivates a large field of hops for its seasonal Homegrown Ale on the main property.
