In a Southern California landscape overflowing with craft breweries, Ventura’s own Topa Topa Brewing Company has carved out an impressive name and reputation since first opening on Thompson Boulevard in 2015. In this conversation, I talk with Topa Topa co-founder Jack Dyer about the ideas and values that drew him to the brewery business, and how a relatively small project quickly grew into something he never imagined. From its earth-conscious ethos and deeply local vibes to the unquestionable craftsmanship of the beer itself, Topa Topa plays a key part in shaping Ventura’s rapidly evolving business community and cultural scene.
