Moksa Brewing Company

What Moksa Brewing Company does

Moksa Brewing Company, Inc. is an independent craft brewery founded in 2017 in Rocklin, California, operating a 3,000 square foot taproom at 5860 Pacific St that opened in February 2018 and accommodates up to 120 guests. The company produces up to 24 rotating varieties of beer including progressive IPAs (West Coast, Hazy, Double), flavor-focused imperial and pastry stouts, barrel-aged specialty stouts, lagers, pilsners, sours, hard seltzers, frozen slushie cocktails, and a non-alcoholic sparkling water (Moksagrino). Its recipe library spans 200+ unique formulations developed since 2018, including limited barrel-aged programs aged in premium spirits barrels (Bourbon, Cognac, Tawny Port) for 26+ months.

The company sells almost entirely through direct-to-consumer channels: on-premise draft pours and flights in the taproom, 32oz crowlers and cans to-go with online ordering, and California-only shipping with a $30 minimum and $5.50 processing fee. A secondary merchandise line covers branded apparel, glassware, accessories, and gift cards in $10-$100 denominations. Distribution is supplemented by regularly scheduled local food truck partnerships and regional event appearances, and the company operates iOS and Android mobile apps for tap list, food truck schedule, and online ordering. There is no wholesale, distributor, or B2B channel and no evidence of institutional investment or a parent company.

Moksa has built brand credibility through consistent industry recognition, including multiple California Craft Brewers Cup medals (Gold for Mellifluous 2024 and Zeta Function 2026; Silver for Pastry Mode 2026, Light the Beam 2025, and Happy Almonds 2025; Bronze for Well Tempered 2024) and a 2025 World Beer Cup Bronze for Happy Almonds. It maintains an active collaboration brew pipeline with peer breweries such as Movement, Off Script, Great Notion, North Park, Horus, Ghost Town, Solaris, Arrow Lodge, Creature Comforts LA, Geisthaus, and Machine Head, and runs a charitable Ales for A.L.S. program with the A.L.S. Association. The company is privately held and founder/owner-managed with no disclosed external equity or funding rounds.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. One of the largest and most established craft brewers in California, founded in Chico. Comparable as a California-headquartered craft brewery with a focus on hop-forward IPAs and stouts, but operating at vastly greater scale with national distribution.
• Firestone Walker Brewing Company: Major California craft brewer (Paso Robles) with deep IPA and barrel-aged stout portfolios (Parabola, Mind Haze). Comparable in product mix and West Coast hop-forward focus, but materially larger and broadly distributed.

Direct peers

• Russian River Brewing Company: Iconic Northern California craft brewery known for IPAs, barrel-aged stouts (e.g., Pliny the Elder, Supplication). Closely comparable to Moksa on craft philosophy, hop-forward and barrel-aged program, and California taproom-led model.
• Knee Deep Brewing Company: Sacramento-area craft brewery (Auburn/Roseville) known for IPAs and limited releases. Most directly comparable to Moksa on geography (Greater Sacramento), scale, and West Coast IPA-led portfolio.
• New Glory Craft Brewery: Local Sacramento craft brewery producing a wide range of styles including IPAs and stouts. Comparable as a peer-sized Sacramento-area taproom brewery competing for the same local craft drinker.
• Track 7 Brewing Company: Sacramento-based craft brewery with multiple taproom locations. Comparable in scale, Sacramento-region footprint, and hop-forward / experimental brewing approach.
• Cellarmaker Brewing Company: San Francisco craft brewery widely recognized for progressive, hop-forward West Coast IPAs and DIPAs. Closely aligned with Moksa's IPA-led, style-pushing identity.
• Great Notion Brewing: Portland-based craft brewery known for hazy IPAs, pastry stouts, and collaboration brews. Directly comparable to Moksa on style mix (hazies, pastry stouts) and is itself a documented Moksa collaboration partner.
• Other Half Brewing Company: Brooklyn-based craft brewery famous for progressive IPAs and limited-release hype model. Comparable to Moksa on hop-forward style leadership and taproom-driven limited releases.
• Breakside Brewery: Portland craft brewery with a strong IPA, lager, and experimental beer program plus taproom locations. Comparable on West Coast craft brewing philosophy and progressive hop-forward focus.
