In my ongoing quest to visit all of the breweries in California I stopped by 21st Amendment Brewery in downtown San Francisco. This brewery is in a nice building and has a general eye appealing exterior that is lost on most of the California breweries that are stuck in industrial areas around the state. That was a good sign and as I hopped off the bus I was excited to see what was in store.
The History
Freccia and O’Sullivan met in early 1995 in San Francisco. Both had just moved from southern California to the Bay area when they heard the calling of beer. O’Sullivan, a former photographer and paralegal, “traded his suits for boots and was saved by beer”. He moved to Berkeley and took a job as assistant brewer at the Triple Rock Brewery there. Freccia, a writer, actor and, by extension, restaurant professional, was also an avid homebrewer. Frustrated with the lack of beer culture in the L.A. area, he moved to San Francisco and began writing for the Celebrator Beer News, the west’s largest beer publication. Freccia and O’Sullivan met, became friends and, while sitting together in a summer class on brewing science at UC Davis, hatched their plan for what would become the 21st Amendment which opened in 2000.
The Brewery
The brewery itself has a large downstairs area for the restaurant that they have; unfortunately, I had already had dinner so I am not able to comment on how the food is, but based on the atmosphere and the amount of people there it seemed to be pretty popular.
