Black Market Brewing Company

What Black Market Brewing Company does

Black Market Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery founded in 2007 and headquartered at 41740 Enterprise Cir. N, #109, Temecula, California. It self-identifies as one of Temecula's first craft breweries and operates a single 6,000 sq ft taproom and production facility that serves as its sole point of sale and distribution. The company produces handcrafted beer across five structured product lines — Core (mainstay styles such as Bad Actor West Coast IPA and No Equis Mexican Lager), Hazies (New England-style IPAs), Tradecraft (kettle sours), Limited Release (experimental), and The Vault (special releases) — and complements its beer portfolio with house-made hard seltzers (BMB Watermelon, BMB Prickly Pear), Julian Hard Cider, JuneShine and Boochcraft hard kombucha, a curated house wine list, and 15% ABV frozen slushies.

The underlying technology is traditional craft brewing — ingredient- and technique-driven production with no disclosed proprietary equipment, software platform, or AI/automation layer. Revenue is generated entirely through direct-to-consumer channels: on-premise taproom beer and food sales (13 signature housemade pizzas plus salads and small bites, dine-in or takeout), off-premise keg sales (inquiries via [email protected]), and private event hosting in the brewery space (inquiries via [email protected]). Pricing is not publicly disclosed across any stream.

The customer base is split between local Temecula adults and wine country visitors seeking a craft beer destination, and event bookers (birthdays, corporate mixers, holiday parties). Marketing is conducted through organic Instagram and Facebook channels only, with no paid digital, distributor, or wholesale relationships documented. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, parent entity, or institutional investors.
