Southern Pacific Brewing Company (16th St SF)
Opened in January, 2012, and nestled on a small side street in the Mission District, Southern Pacific Brewing fits rather inconspicuously into its industrial surroundings. It is, in fact, housed in a former metal shop. Using the reborn 15-barrel brewing system from the defunct Potrero Hill Brewing Company, they are making west coast style ales and perhaps a few lagers which are served along with guest beers from 21 taps at a large bar. Spirits and wine are also served. Their kitchen provides full meals and bar snacks, served in a two-tiered dining area and on the outside patio. There are no television screens to distract from socializing.
Extras: Eventually we expect to see a few special beers aged in barrels from their neighboring winery. Shotwell’s bar is 3 blocks away as is Bender’s Bar and Grill. Also, at the corner of 19th and Shotwell you may notice the SFFD training facility. During the daytime you might see them training to do rescues from buildings and honing other fire fighting skills.
