Highland Park Brewery

What Highland Park Brewery does

Highland Park Brewery is a craft brewery founded in 2013 in Los Angeles, California, that produces and sells hop-forward beers through a single taproom at 1220 N Spring Street, an e-commerce webstore with California-only shipping, a local delivery service within LA, and a quarterly subscription program called Fresh Friends. Its product portfolio centers on West Coast IPAs, West Coast Pilsners, and Hazy Double IPAs, with the Timbo Pils serving as the flagship brand and DDH Pillow as an award-winning anchor product (3x Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal). The brewery's technical differentiation lies in advanced hop-processing techniques including Cryo Fresh (un-kilned, flash-frozen hops processed cryogenically to lock in volatile oils), thiolized yeast biotransformation using Omega Yeast's Lunar Crush strain, and cannabis terpene infusion through Abstrax partnerships (Terp'd UP and Satan's Salad lines).

The business model is direct-to-consumer across multiple fulfillment channels: unit-priced canned 4-packs ($17-$25), tiered Fresh Friends subscriptions ($85-$260/quarter across pickup, delivery, and shipping), on-premise taproom draft and food service, merchandise sales ($4-$76 across apparel, glassware, and accessories), and keg sales. Pricing is publicly disclosed on the website. The customer base is segmented into Craft Beer Enthusiasts, Fresh Friends Members, and Taproom Visitors, with no enterprise or wholesale customers identified. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and a reported headcount band of 1-10. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Recent strategic activity centers on product innovation (12th anniversary beer trio in 2026, Thiolized Timbo with thiolized yeast, Cryo Fresh Competition Gold Medal recipe), subscription program expansion, and a planned geographic extension to Orcas Island via a Lone Pine Larder beer garden partnership. The company maintains collaboration relationships with peer breweries (Monkish, Fidens, pFriem) and a primary artwork partnership with Scrap Labs, which produces the distinctive visual identity (Timbo, Sad Cat, Timbones, Turple Monster) across packaging, merchandise, and marketing. Shipping is restricted to California and all revenue is concentrated within that single state regulatory market.

Product overview

Highland Park Brewery is a Los Angeles-based craft brewery operating as a single unified production and taproom operation rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

The brewery's flagship brand is Timbo Pils, a 5.8% ABV West Coast Pilsner featuring Mosaic and Citra hops.
