Oakland Brewing Finds A Home

March 26, 2010 By Jay Brooks

oakland-brewing
Steve McDaniel and the folks trying to launch Oakland Brewing Co. have some good news. They’ve found a location, finally. It’s the Old Cottonmill building at 1010 22nd Avenue in Oakland. It looks like a great old brick building with some history to it. As Steve is quick to remind me, they still have a very long way to go before the building can be turned into a working brewery, but if their luck holds they hope to have beer in the market by the end of 2010.

OBC-Cottonmill-1

The building, I’m told, is located “a short diagonal off Livingston Street (terminating at I-880), which intersects Embarcadero where Quinn’s Lighthouse sits, just northwest from Coast Guard Island. Once you’re on 22nd Ave, drive toward the freeway and the building will be on your right … if you hit Numi Tea at I-880, you’ve gone too far. Irish Monkey Cellars, who make a fine Cabernet Franc, is right in that same area too.”

You can see more photos of the building at their website.

    Ale Industries (who by the way just celebrated their 1 year anniversary) sends a warming welcome to the boys at OBC. Welcome to the industry!

      Morgan,

      Congrats on your first year. We have indeed enjoyed all that has come out of Ale Industries and look forward to more! Barclay’s yum’s it up. Can’t wait to share the love.

      Cheers,

    Awesome news, Let’s hops the city of Oakland can get behind a new brewery project as opposed to standing in front of it as they have in the past with Linden St. I offer all my best wishes for these guys.

      Thank you kindly Steve,

      You have been a great inspiration. We can only hope to keep the high standards for the East Bay Brews that have paved the way. See you at Raley Field!

      Cheers,
      OBC
