About Paperback Brewing Co.
Founded by prolific home brewers (and former entertainment industry colleagues), Brandon Monroe and Chris Cesnek, Paperback quietly began selling beer to-go only at its Glendale tasting room in early July 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions on tasting room operations. Despite and in spite of pandemic-related challenges, Paperback quietly produced nearly 2,000 BBLs in its first year (releasing a whopping 37 brews) and added 400+ off-premise accounts from San Diego to Los Angeles, including 188 Trader Joe’s retail locations.
Award-winning Brewmaster (and 21st Amendment alum) David “Zambo” Szamborski, renowned for his fearless experimentation, brews flagship and seasonal beers on a 15 BBL brewing system. Paperback’s cans are emblazoned with the brewery’s signature colorful, action-packed pulp fiction cover-inspired illustrations that reference pop culture and music, with names like Bunny with a Chainsaw (Hazy Double IPA), Tucked in by Strangers (West Coast IPA), and Road Rage on the 405 (Double IPA).
