ABOUT US

The Greater Palm Springs area, known around the world for its resorts and sunshine, is now home to great craft beer! Founded by a true desert native and former home brewer, Scott Stokes, La Quinta Brewing Co. opened our doors in the fall of 2013 with the goal of producing fantastic craft beer reflecting the laid-back desert lifestyle. In 2024, after a leadership restructure, current President, Derek Lloyd took over operations.

La Quinta Brewing Co. has quickly become a destination spot with continued growth in popularity. With three locations to serve you, it’s never been easier to Taste the Sunshine! Our newly constructed brewery and onsite taproom is located just south of Interstate 10 and west of Cook Street in Palm Desert. This 14,000 square foot facility is home to our 15-barrel brewhouse capable of producing over 10,000 barrels annually (equivalent to 20,000 full sized kegs) now has a full service kitchen to go along with 24 tap handles, including guest brews, wine, ciders and more! Our Old Town Taproom & Grill in Old Town La Quinta (now serving food) and our downtown Palm Springs Taproom offer our customers two additional locations to enjoy the desert's best craft beer! Each of our locations are open daily.

Additionally, our award-winning beer is widely available in over 175 bars, restaurants and retail stores in the desert area with some of our most popular styles being Poolside Blonde, Heatwave Amber, Una Mas Por Favor Mexican Lager, Koffi Porter, Even Par 7.2 IPA, and Haboob Juicy IPA.

Whether enjoying our flexible options for private events & fundraisers, or visiting our taprooms for live entertainment including music, dueling pianos and trivia nights, we place customer experience and enjoyment at the forefront. Our aim is to deliver quality product and a superior craft beer experience with a fun, resort style vibe uniquely found here in the desert.
