Iron Ox Brewing Co.

The Iron Ox Brewing Co. story started way back in the early '90s when founder Kevin Robinson started brewing in his kitchen. After attending the Master Brewers program at UC Davis, Kevin went pro, first at Lagunitas Brewing in Petaluma, then as head brewer at Speakeasy Ales & Lagers in San Francisco for multiple years. In 2008, Kevin left barley fermentation for a winery in St. Helena, but despite the exquisite feeling of squishing grapes with his toes, his passion was still brewing beer. In 2010, he was back brewing, this time at Russian River Brewing Company in Santa Rosa. By 2014, Kevin finally felt that he had the street smarts to match the book smarts and started to build his own brewery from the ground up, launching Plow Brewing Company in 2015. By 2020, Kevin was excited to bring on long-time employee Vince Ferracuti as a business partner, and the two rebranded Plow as Iron Ox Brewing Co., reflecting their new partnership and an evolution, with new styles, innovations and ideas carrying the company forward.
