DECLARATION OF IMPROVEMENT

SEPTEMBER 21, 2023

Dear Yorba Linda Community:


We want to express our sincere appreciation for your continued support of Lone Wolf Brewing Co. As we reflect on our first year, we recognize that there have been areas where we fell short of your expectations, and for that, we owe you an apology.


We embarked on this journey together with great anticipation, aiming to provide an exceptional experience in craft beer, dining, and customer service. However, we acknowledge that in certain aspects, we have fallen short of your expectations. Whether it's our craft beer offerings, a menu that didn't meet your standards, or customer service that did not reach the level we aspire to – we understand that we may have left some of you disappointed. Our unwavering commitment has always been to strive for total customer satisfaction, and whilst we are fully aware that we can't please everyone, we will remain resolute in our pursuit of that total customer satisfaction goal.


Over the past three months, we've engaged in conversations with you, our valued customers, and paid attention to your feedback, both positive and constructive. While we appreciate the many favorable reviews, it's the less favorable ones that concern us. We extend our gratitude to those who have shared their honest feedback, as it has shed light on our areas for improvement.


Through your valuable comments, we have identified our shortcomings and are dedicated to making meaningful changes. Our aim is to become the brewpub that you not only want, but also deserve.

 

To achieve this, we are excited to present the City of Yorba Linda with our:

"DECLARATION OF IMPROVEMENT"


We are currently in the process of implementing changes that will meet the expectations of our community. This includes introducing new entrées and more vegan dishes, making us a more desirable dining destination within the City of Yorba Linda and beyond. We are also launching a customer service training program to ensure that our entire staff provides you with exceptional service. Additionally, we have exciting plans for new beer and wine membership programs, special events, and seasonal beer selections, all while ensuring our signature beers remain available.


Your feedback, whether shared on social media, in-person conversations, or those late-night chats, has been taken to heart, and we are committed to elevating the LWBC brand. In the coming months, our focus will be on implementing positive changes to transform LWBC into a central hub for Yorba Linda and all surrounding communities. We aim to welcome your families and friends, collaborate with local schools and community events, and host your significant life moments. LWBC aspires to be your preferred destination for celebrating all your cherished milestones.

We encourage you to visit us daily as we roll out these changes, provide us with valuable feedback, and hold us accountable. We value both your constructive feedback and your steadfast support. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey as we transform Lone Wolf Brewing Co. into the ultimate brewpub destination, creating enduring memories for you and your family for years to come.

Sincerely,


Joe, Jay & Tim

Lone Wolf Brewing Co.

OUR STORY

In 2021, three inseparable companions united by a shared love for beer and a shared aspiration to break free from the corporate grind, joined forces. Fueled by an unwavering entrepreneurial drive, they set out to bestow the cozy charm of a local small-town pub upon the wider world. Thus, Lone Wolf Brewing Co emerged, grounded in our core values of Faith, Family, Food, Friends, and the liberating essence of FREEDOM.

THE DEN

Embarking on an extensive nationwide journey, the team embarked on a cross-country expedition in 2021, visiting over 100 breweries. Conversations with brewery owners, the accumulation of insights, ideas, and successful concepts from various corners paved the way for the creation of a truly unparalleled brewery experience.

Introducing Lone Wolf Brewing Co – a sprawling 6700 square-foot Brew Pub. This remarkable space boasts a 31-foot bar crafted from concrete and epoxy, an outdoor bar spanning 20 feet, and a central 10-foot island crowned with a magnificent 40-tap Custom Beer tower featuring an 8-inch width. Live edge and river tables adorn the dining area, while a bold 15-barrel brewhouse takes center stage, openly engaging all senses. The dynamic atmosphere is further enriched by three roll-up garage doors, seamlessly merging the indoors with a 1700 square-foot patio enveloped in heaters and misters. No matter where you settle, there's no shortage of prime spots. Throughout the brewery, vibrant LED screens showcase live sports events and our digital beer menu. A medley of rock 'n' roll, country, and the latest chart-toppers will fill the airwaves, embodying the Wolf's musical identity.

Enter the kitchen, where a masterfully aged New York stone Pizza oven stands ready. The culinary journey continues with an eclectic upscale Gastro Pub-style menu, embracing artisanal pizzas, gourmet burgers, captivating salads, and an array of enticing finger foods. Each month, the "Den's Kitchen" will take you on a global culinary tour, expertly pairing dishes with our extensive beer and wine offerings. Your visit to the "Den" guarantees a symphony of great food, exceptional beer, captivating music, and the opportunity to forge new life-long friendships. 

Our Team

Tim Burke

In every pack, there's a "Timmy" - that indispensable member ready to leap into action for anyone and everyone, without hesitation or inquiry. Always prepared to go the extra mile, Tim is the pack's youngest member, learning swiftly while embodying unwavering dedication. Infusing the pack with his insights into operations and procedures, Tim remains ever-eager to embrace fresh challenges. His synergy with Joe is a testament to their nearly two decades of shared experience in the world of Logistics and Warehousing. As soon as Joe unveiled his innovative concept and entrepreneurial endeavor, Tim wasted no time in becoming the inaugural addition to the Wolf Pack. Born and raised in Orange County, Tim has navigated his way back to his roots in the OC, after spending numerous years in the Inland Empire.

Jay Jarvis

In every pack, there's an "Anchor," and in ours, that role belongs to Jay. He's the man you'll find in or at church every day, diligently crafting, mending, and restoring its splendor. With his can-do spirit and exceptional skills, Jay is our resident "Mr. Fix it" – capable of constructing anything, whether with or without blueprints. If you're curious about the Loan Wolf Bar, just ask Jay for a riveting story as you savor an ice-cold beer. Jay and Joe share a bond that surpasses friendship; they're more like lifelong brothers who crossed paths during high school in Lake Havasu. Despite an initial clash between them, their connection forged into something unbreakable – two pack members fused in an unyielding alliance. Jay possesses the remarkable talent to transform visions into tangible realities. Alongside his wonderful wife Debbie, Jay exchanged vows at the Presbyterian Church in Yorba Linda, a structure he himself helped erect just off Yorba Linda Blvd.

Joe Ruiz

In every pack, an "Alpha" emerges, and in the realm of Lone Wolf, that title belongs to Joe. A seasoned entrepreneur, Joe's journey is marked by constructing, owning, guiding, and advising multiple multimillion-dollar ventures from the ground up. His extensive expertise spans over 30 years across consulting, restaurant management, logistics, and aerospace engineering. After years of diverse industries, Joe yearned for a change – a final career shift into something he was truly passionate about, something he could wholeheartedly believe in. In early 2021, he took the bold step of establishing Lone Wolf Brewing Co, a venture fueled by his conviction.

Joe's affinity for brewing traces back to his college days in Colorado during the mid-80s, where he began crafting beer at home. His journey led to perfecting brewing techniques and recipes, all while maintaining an innovative outlook and embracing creativity. Driven by an unquenchable curiosity for various beer styles and an eagerness to experiment, Joe's approach is characterized by a willingness to explore uncharted territories.

While his career path took him away from Yorba Linda, California, where he initially resided, Joe's heart always longed to return. Now, he's back with an invigorating spirit, establishing Lone Wolf Brewing Co in the heart of Yorba Linda. The brewery's repertoire ranges from palatable pale ales and robust Irish reds to beloved Belgian classics, German specialties, and the ever-evolving yet consistently delightful IPA offerings. With a penchant for crafting beer, seltzers, and sours that cater to even the most discerning palates, Joe and his team present an impressive lineup. Open to suggestions and always accessible, Joe's philosophy is clear: "We create beer for our customers, shaping our offerings based on their preferences."

The creation of the "Den" embodies a community-focused ethos, a space designed to resonate with and embrace the people it serves.
