All, We are very excited to let you know that the ESB we brewed with Jesse Houck and Shaun O’Sullivan at the 21st Amendment Brewpub and Restaurant is now on tap at their brewery. The beer has been on tap since Monday, August 31. It should be there for another 2 weeks so get down [...]
All, For those of you that have been following the ESB since the beginning, you’ll know that our unofficial house band is The Famous (we even emptied our front room one New Years Eve and they performed live to welcome the New Year). Unfortunately, we don’t have a license that allows us to book live [...]
All, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be brewing our Elizabeth Street Bitter recipe with the 21st Amendment crew this coming Saturday, August 1 at their brewpub near the SF Giants ballpark. Using their 12-barrel system, we’ll be starting early in the morning but will still be definitely well into the brew when [...]
All, It is with great excitement and anticipation that I share some pretty cool news with you all. The folks at 21st Amendment Brewpub and Restaurant have selected our ESB recipe as their entry to this year’s Pro-Am tournament at the Great American Beer Festival in late September. The Pro-Am tournament joins an amateur brewer [...]
All, Contrary to perception here on the blog, we are still very much alive and kicking over at the Elizabeth Street Brewery. Granted, the majority of our communication is currently being done via Twitter (@ESBAle), so if you’re not on there you may have missed our past 2 open houses. One of which was this [...]
I have decided to brew our first ever all-grain Pilsener this weekend. It’s a simple recipe with only two malts and Saaz hops. Looking forward to serving it to folks in a couple of months. I hadn’t planned on making a pilsener at first, but I was inspired when I visited Fermentation Solutions for the [...]
Just a very short note to let you know that we’re still chugging along here at the ESB. We’ve actually got into a nice brewing rhythm this year – brewing ever 2 weeks with consistency. However, I’ve noticed that I’ve started to use our ESBAle Twitter feed as a substitute to consistent blogging and email [...]
We had a great turn out last Saturday for our open house. The positive response to what we’re hoping to achieve here is fantastic. I can’t thank you all enough for your continued support. The photo below of the event was taken by Addison’s Godfather, one of my best friends, and one of the founding [...]
Although my quote could have been better (“I got married so I needed a hobby” – what was I thinking??), Doug did a great piece on us for the local paper, The Noe Valley Voice. On a quiet corner in the heart of Noe Valley is a blue building with a (not-too) secret life. In [...]
I was born in England in 1974 and became a citizen of the United States in the Summer of 2002. If one were to trace back through my family tree, one would see I have no Irish blood in me at all. Which explains that since I’ve come to this country, I’ve never felt the [...]
