About us
Speakeasy Ales & Lagers was started in 1997 by a small group of San Francisco home-brewers that wanted to celebrate good beer and the rich history of our city during the prohibition era. Born from that passion came our first beer, Prohibition Ale, a classic American Amber Ale richly hopped and well-balanced that was a hit when the first keg rolled off the line. From our origins making a handful of kegs and selling them out of the back of a van, to San Francisco's second largest craft brewery, we're still focused on making the highest quality West Coast-style craft beer that we can – and barely keeping up with demand. Ten years ago our flagship, Big Daddy IPA, a bold, crisp India Pale Ale, came out to a huge applause, and has since risen to become San Francisco's #1 draft IPA brand. We're focused on continuing to innovate and make great beer better, putting out unique limited release and specialty beers in addition to our year-round offerings. Soon to expand to include a barrel-aging cellar and full-time tasting room, we are going to continue to be a brand basking in the underground and reveling in being the underdog.
