This article has been tagged for WP:GNG for quite sometime. I tried to expand and cite it, but, failed to succeed. The majority of content online appears to be from user generated websites or music websites. It also reads like it's more about the beer maker than anything else. I believe, at this time, this article can be released from the wiki world until it garners further notability (and not just trivial review mentions and press releases about awards).

 * Agreed: The only decent source I could find is this article about how they sponsored a local skateboard park. No real loss to the encyclopedia here. — Zujine |talk 05:49, 29 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to McKinleyville,_California - I agree with SilkTork's comment, the article appears to be significant to McKinleyville residents. Rather than deleting the article as a whole, redirecting would leave it open for a possible future expansion. Delete - Google News archives found few significant sources and all of the BeerAdvocate.com links listed there appear to be reviews and nothing significant. The first result (Times-Standard, 2010) was a dead link but I retrieved it from web.archive.org here, the news article mentions the founders but also reads like an advertisement ("We also have", "We want people to feel" and "It is important to us"). The second result here appears to focus with a license suspension and is probably insufficient. Aside from this, the other results appear to be event listings for musicians who performed at the brewery. Google Books found insufficient results, with several of them simply listing the brewery's address. This brewery is not notable to Wikipedia standards at this time.

 * Weak keep The brewery has won a silver and a gold at the Great American Beer Festival, which at least puts it in contention for notability IMO. I have added some citations to the article. The brewery hasn't gotten much general publicity but that's not surprising; it is in an area remote from major media markets. However it did get a mention in the national magazine "Every Day with Rachel Ray;" I could not find an independent link, just this at the brewery's page, so I didn't cite it in the article, but I believe that is significant for such an out-of-the-way brewery. --MelanieN (talk) 16:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to McKinleyville,_California per WP:LOCAL and WP:Breweries. If material/information on the business develops sufficiently it can be split back into a standalone per WP:Summary style.  SilkTork   ✔Tea time  22:06, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
