Red Sox’ Kevin Youkilis To Open Brewery In Los Gatos

February 25, 2016 By Jay Brooks

This apparently leaked out last month, but I hadn’t heard about it until a friend mentioned they’d heard a rumor about it, so I started checking it out. Apparently it’s true, and former Boston Red Sox first/third baseman Kevin Youkilis is planning to open a brewpub in the Bay Area. He lives in Monte Sereno and his brother, Scott Youkilis, is a local chef who owns the San Francisco restaurant Hog & Rocks. The two are teaming up and have purchased the Los Gatos Brewery, which has now closed, with the intention of re-opening this summer as the Foglight Alehouse.

According to the Silicon Valley Business Journal:

The 150-seat brewpub will be called Foglight Alehouse — a name chosen for its connotations of the California coast and the fog that rolls over the nearby Santa Cruz mountains. An exact opening date hasn’t been set, but Youkilis is targeting this summer.

The space will be much larger than any of Youkilis’ previous endeavors, and the first time he has taken on brewing. But the owners are tapping into the collaborative brewing community, working with craft beer comrades at Russian River Brewing Co. and Almanac Brewing Co. and the noted brewer and industry consultant Rich Higgins on the venture.

Scott Youkilis describes the food to be served as “simple California comfort food with a twist.” They’re currently looking for a brewer, and posted a listing on ProBrewer in late January. It looks like they may be looking to create some hoppy beers, as one of the requirements listed for the job is “Enjoys Hops.”
