About Us
At Distant Brewing, we’re all about creating a place people want to come back to. Whether you’re rolling in after a day on the mountain or meeting up with friends, you’ll find a lineup of fresh craft beer, a full kitchen, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.
Originally from the land of beers (San Diego), brothers Drew and Kirk Wallace have turned their dreams of brewing amazing beers into a reality here at Distant Brewing. Armed with years of homebrewing experience and a hint of marketing know-how, the brothers turned an old Police Station into a unique brewery with tons of charm and allure.
Distant Brewing started construction in November of 2018 and opened to the public for the first time on December 23rd, 2019. Finally in a space where the brothers could create new and exciting beers, Distant focuses on bringing a distinctive collection of beverages, food and good vibes to the west coast and Eastern Sierras with hopes to become one of the best breweries in Mammoth Lakes!

Ethan Grillo LIVE!
Distant Brewing 568 Old Mammoth Road, Mammoth Lakes, CA, United StatesEthan Grillo is an Americana singer-songwriter and storyteller whose music blends raw folk grit with honest, character-driven lyricism.
After spending five years traveling full-time and honing his craft—starting from the ground up busking on the streets of Arizona—Grillo eventually planted roots in the mountains and outside the Asheville, North Carolina music scene.
His songwriting captures the essence of the road, local geographies, and human resilience. Grillo's discography includes his debut Mammoth Lakes EP (2022), which featured regional favorites like "395", and his full-length 2026 album, Sidewalk Symphonies, highlighted by standout tracks like "Brake Lines" and "Raccoon Song." Backed by acoustic warmth and a soulful delivery, he continues to win over audiences with traditional folk ballads tailored for modern ears.
