USA, CA: San Francisco Brewing Co.�s brewery officially open

San Francisco Brewing Co.�s 12,000-square-foot restaurant and brewery has officially opened at Ghirardelli Square, breathing new life into one of San Francisco�s iconic tourist destinations, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on May 9.

The project is a beer-lovers dream. The San Francisco Brewing team installed a custom brewing system at the location, which means each beer is being poured directly from the temperature-controlled tanks where it is finished.

When it comes to ordering, customers have the option of pouring their own beers at the location�s self-serve beer wall, which charges by the ounce.

The San Francisco Brewing crew�s restaurant will seat 120 inside and 100 more outside. At the helm in the kitchen is Abraham Ibarra (Perry�s), who put together a beer-friendly menu of pizzas, sandwiches and snacks (think bacon-wrapped dates and spicy onion rings).

It�s worth pointing out that San Francisco Brewing Co. represents one moment within what appears to be a renaissance at Ghirardelli Square. The new venture will soon be joined by Palette, a new dim sum spot from the Koi Palace folks. Meanwhile Subpar, an outpost of the East Bay put-put business, has an 18-hole course in the works for the square.
