About Headlands Brewing Company
Headlands Brewing Company runs a brewery and beer garden on Mount Diablo Boulevard in Lafayette. Its website says the brewery began when two home brewers met on a boat headed for the Farallon Islands. Their first beer, Point Bonita, is still the flagship, and the site says it has won numerous awards.
The Lafayette beer garden has outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome. The website lists a food menu for this location. Live music plays in the beer garden on Sundays.
Headlands says it brews on 100% renewable electricity. It also commits at least 1% of sales to environmental nonprofits through 1% for the Planet. A rotating Parks Series of West Coast IPAs is part of that work.
