Our Origin Story
Red Engine Brewing Company started as a dream of Preston & Elizabeth Andreini. Preston, armed with a brewing science degree and a drive for pushing the boundaries of traditional brewing, serves as the master brewer, owner and operator. His commitment to innovation and quality has shaped REBC’s identity, offering patrons a diverse range of craft beers that showcase his expertise and passion. Elizabeth, the creative force behind the brand, brings a keen eye for design with her Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design. Her vision is clear in the taproom where she decorates for the seasons and strives to create a vibrant, strong, and welcoming atmosphere for families and the community, both in the taproom and online. Elizabeth homeschools their two children and uses her free time to train for long course triathlon racing, while Preston works full-time as a Captain for Ventura City Fire Department.
The realization of Red Engine Brewing Company was not a solo endeavor. Preston's parents, Ann and Del Andreini, played a pivotal role in turning the dream into reality. A collaborative group of investors, including David Mendoza, Austin Araiza, Theo Tulle, Garrett Colley, and Antonio Gomes joined forces with Preston and Elizabeth and together, this collective effort has transformed REBC into a thriving hub for beer enthusiasts, where the passion for exceptional brews and community engagement converges to create an unforgettable experience. Behind the scenes, the Andreinis worked closely with legal, financial, engineering, real estate, executive chef, and construction consultants in addition to numerous local brewery owners and operators to meticulously plan and execute their brewery's vision. Beyond the liquid in the glass, the brewery stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and shared vision.
Together, with their family and friends, Preston and Elizabeth have built Red Engine Brewing Company into a thriving hub for both local and visiting beer enthusiasts. The brewery is not just a place for exceptional brews but a space where friends, families, and fellow beer aficionados gather to celebrate the art of brewing. The Andreini family have instilled a commitment to family, friends, and community, making Red Engine Brewing Company a destination where passion meets pour and where a shared love for exceptional brews builds a stronger sense of community.
