The brewery was established 1989 by brewmaster Bob Smith.[1][2] Its Steelhead Extra Pale Ale was listed by the Oakland Tribune as one of ten "quintessential Northern California beers".[3] Other beers produced by Mad River have included Steelhead Stout,[4] Serious Madness Black Ale,[5] Double Dread Imperial Red,[6] and John Barleycorn Barleywine.[7]
Waste reduction and recyclingedit
The company attempts to reuse all of its equipment and materials and has a reported waste reduction rate of 98 percent.[8][9] Much of the organic waste, ten tons of spent barley malt and yeast a year, are fed to local livestock or used as composting material.[9][10] For their efforts in waste reduction the company won 7 WRAP awards presented by the California Integrated Waste Management Board.[9]
