The Karl Strauss Story
As two recent college grads, co-founders Chris Cramer and Matt Rattner had sampled enough beer to know a good beer when they tasted one. On a post-grad around-the-world trip in the summer of 1988, Chris discovered microbrew beer at a pub in Fremantle, Australia – a cool port city much like San Diego. Chris came home and couldn’t get that beer out of his head so he talked his buddy Matt into opening a similar kind of brewpub in San Diego.
But Chris and Matt didn’t know much about brewing beer. Lucky for them, Chris’s Uncle just happened to be Master Brewer Karl Strauss, a renowned German brewmaster who had been in the beer business his whole life. Karl believed handcrafted microbrew beer would be “the beer of the future” – so they got to work. Chris and Matt would mention a favorite beer flavor and Karl would work up a recipe for a microbrew version. Working out of Chris’ apartment at 2810 Mission Blvd (the one with the blue pipes), two college kids in their mid-twenties and one 70 year old Master Brewer put together a plan to make the best tasting beer that had ever been brewed in San Diego.
