When he finally started a brewery, Ken Grossman scoured salvage yards and dairies to find the tanks, pipes and valves he needed to hand-build Sierra Nevada’s original brewhouse. He put his first batch of craft beer to the test in 1980, and the Pale Ale that followed sparked a true craft beer revolution. Still 100% family owned and operated, Sierra Nevada is among the largest craft breweries in the U.S. by volume and boasts an annual revenue of over $320 million, turning its owner into a beer billionaire.
