Rumor has it that Pyramid Breweries has closed the last remaining vestige of their foray into California. After closing the Sacramento brewpub a couple of years ago, and the Berkeley brewpub last year, apparently the staff of the Walnut Creek Alehouse learned Sunday that it would be their last day. Yesterday, apparently, the alehouse was locked up and closed up for good.
The website for the Walnut Creek Alehouse simply states the following:
The Pyramid Alehouse in Walnut Creek is now closed.
Thank you so much for your patronage over the years. We also thank our employees for their dedicated service.
Looks like they’re out of the brepub biz entirely, & just making beer in their Portland facility. Someone told me recently that they closed the original in downtown Seatlle. I expect them to be bought out in the near future (so the beancounters that ruined them can collect their fat golden parachutes).
