Does anyone know who does the contract brewing for Trader Joe's? I just tried one of their "Josephsbrau Pilznr". It was actually pretty decent. Have not had anything else but I would drink this one again.
Gordon Biersch does the JosephsBrau brand, Firestone Walker does the Mission Street, Unibroue does their Vintage Ale, not sure who does the Mexican line...
Yes, Gordon Biersch contract brews some Trader Joe's beers (JosephsBrau, San Jose, CA). They also brew the Costco's Kirkland Signature beers on the West coast (Sam Adams Brews for the East coast, from what I've heard).
Gordon Biersch is owned by CraftWorks Restaurants and Breweries.

The brewery and restaurants are now separate entities. Dan Gordon still operates the brewery; Dean Biersch handles (or used to handle) the restaurant side ...
I plan on going to their A1A Ale Works Restaurant/Brewpub in St. Augustine this weekend. I've heard their Red Brick Ale is pretty good.
