Ad Astra Brewing Company

Meet our brewer

Ad Astra Brewing Company launched December 2020. It is spearheaded by the talented Master Brewer Williams Walthereson. All who come through the doors will be embraced by his passion, as well as the retro inspired space decor, the inviting ambient lighting, and the craft beer selection.

Growing up in Southern California and recognizing his passion for hand crafted beer, Williams spent his early career working for Orange County’s barrel aging powerhouse, The Bruery. During this time, he began to hone his skills & developing his palate, working as a Cellarman in their wild barrel cellar at Bruery Terreux. He was an instrumental member of the team in sensory evaluation of barrels and compiling large blends of barrel aged wild beers. The Bruery was amazed by his sophisticated palate, and his knack for picking up complex flavoring notes and subtleties.
