Noe Valley Voice article on Elizabeth Street Brewery

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 [...]

A Day of Firsts

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 [...]

Next ESB Brew Day – Saturday, February 28

We had originally hoped to open this coming Sunday, March 1 but it just isn’t possible given our schedules. The good news is that we’ll be open on Saturday instead.

SF Beer Week

Well, SF Beer Week begins today and I have been so sick for the past three days that I haven’t even so much as sipped a beer since the Super Bowl. That shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the many events and activities happening in the Bay Area from February 6 – February 15.  Go to [...]

Follow us on Twitter

As I already indicated, my wife and I each have day jobs that we are committed to and the ESB is simply a brewpub in planning. As a result, we don’t have fixed “open hours” when neighbors, friends and family can stop by for a pint. This doesn’t mean we don’t open at all. Depending [...]

Serva Jugum!

What’s in a name? The “Brewer” to beer link is quite obvious but “Hay” should not be overlooked either. An ancient Scottish Clan name, “Hay” boasts its own symbol (the Falcon), plant (Mistletoe), and the family motto is “Serva Jugum”, which literally translated means “Keep the Yoke”. We like to think this commitment to getting [...]
