Green Flash Brewing Company
Green Flash Brewing Company was founded in 2002 by Mike and Lisa Hinkley in Vista, California, before establishing its presence in San Diego's Mira Mesa neighborhood. The brewery grew into a nationally distributed craft brand known for bold, hop-forward West Coast IPAs and acquired sister brand Alpine Beer Company in 2014. Following rapid overexpansion, the company suffered a foreclosure in early 2018 and was sold to a group of investors; it subsequently withdrew distribution from 32 states and cut staff significantly. In late 2021, Tilray Brands acquired Green Flash and Alpine Beer Company for $5.1 million. The San Diego taproom has since closed, with production relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado, and the brands continue as part of Tilray's portfolio.
