Nova Brewing Co. in Covina, California was founded in 2019 as the first craft sake brewery in LA. Nova’s goal is to have locals experience true craft nama sake made with California rice. Nova's head brewer started as a homebrewer but eventually went to Japan to take apprenticeship at few breweries in Ibaraki. With techniques and experiences gained in Japan, they invented and built their own equipments with what they can acquire in LA which allows them their own unique style of sake brewing methods that set their products apart.
