About Us

Established in 2015 in Escondido, Felicita Brewing was a pipe dream turned reality. Returning from a nephew’s first birthday party one night, head brewer Chris Skalka turned to his soon-to-be wife Carolyn and made the revelation that everyone already knew to be true: he wanted to start a brewery. With Carolyn’s help, business acumen, and cheer-leading support, Chris began brewing at a consistent rate, volunteering kegs of beer for various friends and family events. As time passed, Chris developed not only support from members of his community, but renown in his beer making abilities. While FBC is still in its home-brew phase, Chris and Carolyn plan for it to become much more. They hope you’ll join them as they take the next steps in their endeavor to make Felicita Brewing Company a household name.
