La Quinta Brewing Company Celebrates American Craft Beer Week
American Craft Beer Week is shining a spotlight on the growing craft brewing industry and one local brewery helping drive that movement in the Coachella Valley.
At La Quinta Brewing Company, customers and brewers alike say craft beer is about more than just flavor. It is also about creativity, community, and connection.
Brewmaster Lloyd Johnson says brewing has been a longtime passion dating back to his days as a home brewer.
The brewery produces a variety of beers ranging from lagers and ales to its award-winning Evenpar IPA.
According to the Brewers Association, the craft beer industry has grown into a multibillion-dollar business with nearly 10,000 breweries operating nationwide.
Supporters say local breweries like La Quinta Brewing Company not only craft quality beer but also help create jobs, support tourism, and bring people together throughout the desert community.
For many customers, craft beer has become more than a beverage — it is a social tradition worth celebrating year-round.
