Mill Valley’s Headlands Brewing Co. Is Ready for Its Closeup at Wine, Beer & Gourmet Food Tasting June 22

Startup beer maker founded by local residents Phil Cutti and Patrick Horn is hosting a Meet the Brewer night at the Sweetwater June 16, and is among the nine craft breweries at the Mill Valley Market Wine, Beer & Gourmet Food Tasting on June 22.

In the 11 months since they launched Headlands Brewing Company, Mill Valley residents Phil Cutti and Patrick Horn have been among the hardest working duos in the brewing business, personally filling every role in the operation, from brewmaster to distributor and everything in between.

If the pair was searching for tangible proof that their hard work was paying off, it arrived earlier this week in the form of 150,000 16oz. cans, ready to be filled with one of Headlands’ three beers and waiting for its label to be slapped upon them. The leap reflects a steady spike in production from about 90 barrels total every four to six weeks up to about 220 barrels a month.

“To have the confidence of our board to make such a big next move – you have to pay for those cans up front,” Cutti says. “We’re really seeing some consistent growth, and that’s prompted this next big step. We’re feeling great about where we are.”

Headlands will showcase its beers at two upcoming local events: a Meet the Brewer event at the Sweetwater on June 16, and at Mill Valley Market Wine, Beer & Gourmet Food Tasting event on June 22 in the Depot Plaza.
