Speakeasy Ales and Lagers is a microbrewery located in the Hunter's Point neighborhood of San Francisco, California
Contents |
Speakeasy was founded in 1997 by Steve Bruce and Forest Gray. [1]
Speakeasy brands its beers with humorous reference to 1930s prohibition-era mobsters and organized crime. Prohibition is one of the more popular local beers in San Francisco, available in over 500 bars and restaurants and 1,000 stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, although the beer is available regionally in California and five other states. Speakeasy beers are flavorful and high in alcohol, ranging from approximately 5% to 10% alcohol content by volume. Unlike many other microbreweries, Speakeasy does not currently operate an on-site restaurant or other retail operation except tours by appointment on Fridays, as well as a Friday happy hour that is open to the public.
