History and awards
Established in 2001, by Chris Garrett, the brewery’s name was derived from the original Spanish name for the city of Belmont and from La Canada del Diablo, the name of the canyon that runs through Belmont and San Carlos. (Prior to the 1780s the canyon portion of Belmont and San Carlos was known as “la Canada del Diablo” or Devil’s Canyon.) Devil's Canyon has a core branding of six beers, and produces seasonal specialties in limited runs as well as a very popular root beer. It was the largest self-distributed brewery on the West Coast until making the move to use outsourced distribution channels in 2011. In July 2013 they relocated to the City of San Carlos, California.
Devil's Canyon has received over 35 craft beer awards and received the 2009 “People’s Choice” award at the San Francisco International Beer Festival. In 2013 it was voted the favorite Bay Area Brewery by SF A-List readers. In 2014 San Francisco A-List readers voted Devil's Canyon Brewery the Bay Area's "Best Beer Bar". The brewery was awarded “Business of the Year” by the City of San Carlos and the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce.
The company’s practices have earned them the 2014 Sustainable San Mateo County award.
