Our story…

Shawn & Karl both started homebrewing in the late 80s, and started brewing together in 2012. After holding “Speakeasy Friday” events at our homes over a few years, we finally decided to evolve our passion for beer into a small business. We established ShaKa Brewing in 2020 during the global COVID-19 pandemic. And, it was important to create our base in the community where we live - the heart of Silicon Valley. We look forward to growing and exploring, and are grateful for everyone’s support along the way!
