About Us

A couple of West Coast guys walk into a brewery.  For a casual lunch meeting. Almost like a blind date. After one meeting, a journey begins. It's been a long and winding road, but we are over the moon excited to share Ramble West Brewing with you.  Enjoy the video below to learn more about us!

Our Story

Ryan

Eley

Ryan Eley is a native of Paradise, CA, and a graduate of CSU Chico. He has been working as a professional brewer since 2010 - starting his career at Bootlegger's Brewery in Fullerton before following a mentor to the award-winning Left Coast Brewery and helping them snag a widely coveted gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival. He then headed to Petaluma to brew and supervise at Lagunitas Brewing Company. He ultimately found his way back home with his family to follow through on his dream of opening a craft brewery in Chico.

Brian

Smith

Brian Smith is a born and bred Seattleite and Restaurantuer. After a long career working as a beverage director in Seattle, Denver, and Brooklyn, he has now opened two critically acclaimed spots in his PNW hometown - Baker's and Bar Miriam. The best meeting he ever took was the casual lunch meeting that led to Ramble West Brewing.

Jim

Savage

 Jim Savage was immediately enlisted to join the crusade.  His sales experience within the wholesale world and passion for beer made him an obviously perfect fit to complete the team. 

Ramble

On!

A couple of West Coast guys. A journey that started in 2018. Before the Camp Fire. Before a pandemic. Before numerous other trials and tribulations. With every twist and turn, we are proud to say that we never backed down. Never gave up. Thank you for thinking of us, drinking from us, and rambling with us. RAMBLE ON!
