Sudwerk
Sudwerk, short for Sudwerk Privatbrauerei Hübsch is a microbrewery located in Davis, California. Some German beer snobs say that this is the only beer that they will drink in California. They also make some non-traditional beers, including an IPA.
Sudwerk Brewery’s Pilsner beer was awarded a gold certificate and took home the first place award in its category at the 2011 California State Fair’s Commercial Craft Brew Competition. The California Craft Brew Competition takes place every year and is said to be among the most prestigious craft brewing competitions in the country. Sudwerk Brewery has won various awards in this competition over the years, including a "Best of Show" in 2010 and 1998.
In 2011, Sudwerk entered into an agreement with UC Davis to produce Aggie Lager. It is estimated that the proceeds from the agreement will fund $25k yearly in scholarships.
Sudwerk is a good friend to the California Festival of Beers, stop by their booth and try their Dopplebock!
