It reflected the grain, water, agriculture, climate, and traditions of the communities that made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2014, our Founder \u0026amp; CEO, Kris Parker, began developing a business plan with fellow USC MBA classmates Adam Nazar and John Neale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, they envisioned a brewery grounded not only in craftsmanship, but in agriculture, locality, and a deeper appreciation for where beer comes from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction began in 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, Kris developed a friendship with Patrick Rue, founder of The Bruery, through collaborations exploring the intersection of beer, wine, and agriculture. When it came time to build Third Window, that connection helped bring the brewery to life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brewhouse used today was originally built for Mendocino Brewing Company. After it was decommissioned, it sat unused in a field for years before being rescued and restored by The Bruery. It is now the second oldest operating brewing system in the United States and continues to produce every beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird Window's founding brewer, Tyler King, also joined from The Bruery, helping bring the brewery's vision to life from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 2016, Third Window opened its doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile wine has retained a reverence for terroir—a French term often translated as \"sense of place\"—and its influence on flavor and character, much of modern beer has become disconnected from those roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird Window was founded to explore what beer can become when that connection is restored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThird Window Saison\u003c\/em\u003e is an expression of local terroir, brewed with Pilsner malt and unmalted wheat grown and farmed by the Fess Parker Ranch in Los Olivos. It draws from the farmhouse traditions of southern Belgium, where saisons were born in rural wine regions and brewed with the grains at hand, often fermented with the same mixed yeast cultures used for wine and shaped by the rhythm of the seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight in body and golden straw in color, this bottle-conditioned batch offers notes of chamomile, Meyer lemon, and pepper with a classically crisp, refreshing finish.
