Golden Beavers once filled the rivers, streams, and wetlands of Northern California until the 1840’s when over trapping led to their extinction. The beavers demise affected the annual Pacific salmon runs and reduced the creation of wetlands used by migratory waterfowl of the Pacific Fly Way.

We aspire to honor our great nation while never forgetting the price that was paid to create it. Golden Beaver Distillery is striving to make quality handcrafted spirits rooted in traditional American recipes using locally grown rice, corn, wheat, rye, and barley.

With each bottle sold, the Golden Beaver Distillery donates a portion of the proceeds to Occidental Arts & Ecology Center WATER Institute to restore beaver habitat across the Sierra Nevada and the Western United States. We also support migratory waterfowl through donations to the California Waterfowl Association. Learn more about our conservation efforts here.
