Maiden voyage to Elizabeth Street Brewing
Elizabeth Street Brewing is the brain-child of a family in Noe Valley. I’ve posted on it before but – long story short – it is a very generous and ingenious way of the Brewer-Hay family sharing their passion for brewing and a unique, socially driven method of realizing their dream of eventually opening a proper brew-pub.
I had the opportunity to finally pay ESB a visit and was impressed with the hospitality and conviviality of the operation. Cheers!

The Elizabeth Street Brewing Company is a brewpub waiting to happen, in the quiet sub-hamlet of San Francisco known as Noe Valley and it is beyond me, how it has come to pass, that I have not been made aware of this until now. I mean, really, now; a family brews beer in their house, makes it available to anyone who cares to partake, for absolutely no charge and I don’t know about it? They’re on Yelp for cryin’ out loud!
Alyson and Richard Brewer-Hay (mmm-hmmm) have plans to open a brew-pub in their Noe Valley neighborhood and all of this micro-brewed altruism is being proffered under the auspices of recipe refinement. It looks as if they have a bit of a following as well. These are my kind of entrepreneurs. Count me in as a prospective, please.
The whole operation runs on a sort of ad-hoc schedule and I am a little unsure about how to get myself included in the next gathering but I am not going to let that little detail allow me to lose hope of attending. They do have a Twitter account. Maybe that will be the secret key to gain passage into this enchanted world of barley, hops and water. Time will tell.
And not a word of this from anyone I know. I might have to fire my contacts in “The City”. This is unacceptable.

The Elizabeth Street Brewery is the brain-child of a homebrewer, in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco. The residence of Alyson and Richard Brewer-Hay opens up as a free pub periodically. The family has plans to open an honest to goodness brew-pub in the future. If I am lucky, I will, someday, come across his home when he is up and running and will be blessed with free homebrew. If you are lucky you will too.
