There are more than a few notable ingredients that some (not all and not most) craft breweries in California showcase in their brews. Admiral Maltingd grows and dries malt for one (and it’s dang good, had it in a few home brews and served in their taproom). But also, the entire west coast is well known for growing hops. We have quite a few growers in California that have their product used across the world, but especially in the products that many craft breweries here make.

Further, there are a large number of styles of beers that are fruited and California produces a great deal of the fruit found across our country and state.

Adjuncts are also produced in some places (some traditional beers utilize juniper and spruce, but there are a great many more things grown that get used in a beer that isn’t the Pilsner or Vienna Lager that most people think of when they think of Beer).

Checks notes on Australia I don’t believe you.
