Local Brewing Co.

 

Nice place to stop in SOMA to taste a few good brews. Nice albeit moderate selection across genres. Forms a brewery tour triangle with Black Hammer and 21st Amendment

 

I visited Local Brewing last night; it is a lively place in the immediate post-work hours. It's an eye-catching red, black and white build-out, which is simultaneously tacky yet endearing, and kegs and barrels are used as decorations in case you're confused about what it is they do there. The service was not exactly impressive, although I give some allowance for the fact that they were quite busy.

I was highly impressed with the quantity of beers they had on tap - 16 draughts, which is outta sight for a brewery as small as they are. The beers I tried were quite solid, particularly the IPA. I could definitely see returning to Local to see what other interesting stuff they get to making.
