Morgan Territory Brewing Employee Directory

Morgan Territory Brewing is a craft beer producer based in Tracy, California, founded by Michael and Dave LaCross in 2016 following their acquisition of the established Schooners Grille and Brewery in Antioch, California. Under the leadership of Brewmaster Craig Cauwels, the company has established itself as one of the premier craft breweries in th... e United States, earning numerous accolades at the industry's most prestigious competitions. The brewery's track record includes ten medals from the Great American Beer Festival and four medals from the World Beer Cup, the largest beer competitions globally, along with a Gold Medal for its Apogee Baltic Porter at the World Beer Cup. Morgan Territory Brewing also won California Brewery of the Year at the California State Fair, competing against major breweries throughout the state. Recognizing that the brewery's exceptional quality had been underutilized in terms of distribution, the ownership team made a strategic decision to significantly expand manufacturing capacity and geographic reach. The company relocated to a large, purpose-built facility at 1885 N. MacArthur Drive in Tracy, where it rebranded under the Morgan Territory Brewing name to support broader distribution efforts and avoid trademark complications outside California. The new facility was extensively adapted to support substantial growth, featuring reinforced foundations to accommodate 120-barrel fermenters, advanced brewing infrastructure including a large boiler and glycol cooling system, a reverse osmosis water treatment system, and expansive cold storage. The facility is designed to scale production capacity to 25,000 barrels, positioning Morgan Territory Brewing to serve craft beer enthusiasts across a wide geographic footprint while maintaining the quality standards that have defined its award-winning portfolio.Read More
