Etna Brewing Co.

The history of Etna Brewery begins with Charles Kappler, who arrived in the United States in 1857 where he began work as a brewer in Yreka, CA. In 1868 he purchased Hartstrand Brewery just three miles east of Etna with his wife Florentine, and then moved the brewery to Etna Mills in 1872. Eventually the Volstead Act killed the brewery in 1919 during prohibition, and it wasn’t until 1990 when Andrew Hurlimann brought it back as Etna Brewing Company. Today the brewery is owned & operated by Dave & Marilyn Krell.
