 New stretch target

We have reached the main funding goal! Now, anymore money raised will go towards deposits to invite some of the most amazing bands and DJ's from all over. The goal is to have one big, like proper BIG bang over at least each month! That means upward of £5k with probably £1k i deposits, sometimes even a year in advance!

Also improve the surroundings, get better seatings, apply for a beergarden, get better serving equipment and much, much more!

Either way, we will be forever grateful for your support, it is incredibly humbling to see our dream project becoming a reality and we hope we'll have you with us along the way!

Love you all!

Ondřej, Vojta & the team Not That California


Help us Build The Rock Bottom! Beer Hall and a Concert Venue in Falkirk ...

For the past few years we have been building a brewery on the outskirts of a little Scottish village called California. Last year we have started winning awards and shipping our beer all over the country but when we want to go out, we're heading either to Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Now we want to make sure Falkirk has its own place too so we don't have to be catching the last trains home every time. We don't need another old man's pub, we want the first proper craft beer venue close to home. It will have 27 beer and cider taps featuring all Scottish beers we will be able to get our hands on and some from further away!

Based at the disused old bus terminal, it has the perfect location, accessibility and mainly, we shouldn't bother anyone with a wee bit of music ...
Working with local food businesses we have agreed we will be serving all the good stuff from around town delivered right to your table at the venue in no time!

We do need your help though, to make the place as we envision and with the brewery just finally breaking out of the red numbers, we would like to offer you immortalisation in a form of a personal plaque on the wall of founders as well as discounted pre-sale vouchers for any drinks once we open*. 

Money from the voucher sales / contributions will help pay for the legal proceedings, furniture, dispensing equipment and more.

We will be updating you every step of the way here and on our Facebook page!
