SF Weekly came out with their “Best of San Francisco: 2010” last week. I’ve always fantasized that one day our brewery would be considered in the running with the other great brewpubs and breweries of SF (Magnolia, 21st Amendment, Speakeasy, etc.). I always figured we’d need to actually be a Microbrewery too – with a [...]
Before we left for the Craft Brewers Conference in Chicago, I sat down with Chris Galvin in our pub to talk about what we’re up to and hoping to accomplish with the pub. You can read the profile as a result of his interview over in Draft Magazine by clicking here. Cheers! Richard.
Saturday marked a first for us here at the Elizabeth Street Brewery… brew day with both kids and no wife. Wow. Not the best call I’ve made. Still tired to be honest. I’ve decided to brew a wide collection of beers behind closed doors over the coming weeks so we can have some cool and [...]
Admittedly, this post has absolutely nothing to do with beer but I had to share with folks anyway. Allie’s birthday is later this month but we enjoyed her birthday present a little early this year as we both went up over Napa in a hot-air balloon. Considering my intense fear of heights, I thought I [...]
All, As most of you know by now, yesterday the ESB was featured on NBC Bay Area as “Best Secret Spot” in the Bay Area. It was pretty funny to have TV cameras in the pub for a second time in the past 5 years… as I’ve been telling my wife since the spot aired [...]
Well, gang. I’m typing this from our “pub garden”, with the Sunday evening NFL game about to start. Our kids are playing here in the backyard and I’m wondering if the last three days in Denver really happened. Thankfully, I have the video footage to prove that it did. You already saw what happened on [...]
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, 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 [...]
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 [...]
