About Paperback Brewing:
Paperback Brewing Co. is a Glendale-based microbrewery that blends creative storytelling with craft beer. Founded in 2019 by Brandon Monroe and Chris Cesnek, the brewery evolved from their homebrewing days in a garage nicknamed “The Lab.” Both co-founders share a background in entertainment advertising and a passion for craft beer. They honed their brewing skills through programs at UC Davis and White Labs before launching Paperback Brewing.
The brewery officially opened its doors in July 2020, initially offering beer to-go due to COVID-19 restrictions. Despite the challenges, Paperback Brewing produced nearly 2,000 barrels in its first year and expanded its reach to over 400 off-premise accounts, including 188 Trader Joe’s locations.
