USA, CA: Pedro Point Brewing announces permanent closure

Pedro Point Brewing, which opened as Pacifica�s first brewery in March 2018, has permanently closed, Palo Alto Online reported on November 30.

Co-owner and Pacifica resident Roberta Gamble started the microbrewery with a couple of friends, and the operation remained locally focused and owned.

�We really wanted to put something in the Pacific Manor location,� she said. �A couple businesses had recently left. It was nice to bring not just Pacifica�s first brewery, but something to that part of town.�

Over the years, Pedro Point Brewing became known as a family-friendly, dog-friendly Coastside brewery with regular food pop-ups and a weekly trivia night. The business offered a rotation of its own beers and seltzers on-site and at local spots like A Grape in the Fog and the San Benito House.

But the brewery �suffered a downturn like everybody did during the pandemic,� Gamble said.

�We thought more business would come back than actually materialized,� she said. �We were looking for buyers and did entertain very serious offers over the last year, but at the end of the day they didn�t materialize and we decided it was best to close.�

Pedro Point Brewing�s final day of business was Oct. 30.

�There was a lot of surprise, of course, but people who knew us knew we weren�t quite where we wanted to be performance-wise,� Gamble said when asked about the reaction to the closure announcement. �There were hundreds of comments online, all very supportive.�

While Gamble went through an unpredictable time as a business owner during COVID, she said she wouldn�t change anything about the experience.

�I wish I could still say I owned a brewery instead of �I used to own a brewery,�� Gamble said. �I�m still working through all the feels after the fact, but it was an amazing experience.

�It�s still an exciting time to be in beer or any business,� she added. �As a business owner you just have to be ready to take some hits, but I think that�s always the case. Even if there�s a rise in the market it never lasts forever.�
