Distant Brewing, a 10-barrel brewery and tasting room in Mammoth Lakes California, is thrilled to announce that it has been selected as a recipient in the prestigious 2024, Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies. This recognition is a testament to Distant Brewing’s exceptional growth and its commitment to bringing quality beer, food and good times to its customers.

The Inc. 5000 list is a prestigious and exclusive ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Distant Brewing was ranked 3154 on this year’s overall list. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Many well-known companies such as Microsoft, Timberland, Vizio, Intuit, Chobani, Oracle, and Zappos.com gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

“When we opened our doors at the tail end of 2019, we could have never dreamed of being one of the fastest growing companies in just a few short years. We spent several of our first few months selling hand-filled cans under a tent by our front door due to COVID restrictions and without the locals who visited us every day to keep us afloat, we would never be where we’re at now. So yeah, big thanks to our community for getting us to where we are now, it’s been an incredible run, and we’re stoked to see where the next 5 years take us!”

Distant Brewing, established in 2015 under the name Black Doubt Brewing, rebranded and re-opened in a new location in December of 2019, makes all its beers in-house at its singular location in Mammoth Lakes, CA.
