Dear Malibu Brewing Family,
Today marks a milestone worthy of celebration: Chef Steven Stroh’s 5-year anniversary with Malibu Brewing Company
🎉✨🍻
That’s five years of early mornings, late nights, creative menus, packed dining rooms, and huge catering events in the community, and we couldn’t be more grateful that Chef Steven has been a major factor in shaping Malibu Brewing Company since we opened the doors in Malibu.
From the day Chef Steven interviewed with us and prepared dishes for a mock MBC menu in our kitchen, it was clear he would bring more than culinary talent to MBC. His passion for connecting with people through food was exactly what we were looking for, and we continue to be inspired by the way he leads his team and creates an environment where people do their best work.
The food at MBC has been a huge part of our growth, thanks to Chef Steven’s vision. From seasonal menus to our annual Summer Barbecue menu, he’s given our regulars something new to look forward to year after year.
Chef Steven has also shown what MBC is truly about: community. During last year’s wildfires, he helped keep our kitchen running not just for our team, but for the people who needed us most. Through his leadership and collaboration with World Central Kitchen, countless local families and first responders were fed and supported during an incredibly difficult time.
Chef Steven, thank you for your craft, your commitment, and your care for this community. Thank you for believing in this vision from day one and for helping us build something we’re truly proud of.
Here’s to 5 incredible years and everything still ahead ❤️
With love and gratitude,
Ryan & Jill
