History
The brewery was founded in August 2000 by Nico Freccia and Shaun O'Sullivan. The two had developed the idea for 21st Amendment brewery while attending a brewing class together at UC Davis. O'Sullivan had previously worked as an assistant brewer at Triple Rock Brewery & Alehouse in Berkeley, 20 Tank Brewery and Steelhead Brewing in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Business Times wrote that it "made a name for itself as a local brewery and restaurant where SoMa techies could lunch and Giants fans could gather before a game." It has been voted "Best Brewpub", "Best Burger" and "Best Happy Hour" by the San Francisco Press.
Prior to 2015, 21st Amendment's retail beers were canned in Cold Spring, Minnesota. In 2012, 21st Amendment planned to case 45,000 barrels of beer, up from 28,000 in 2011. In 2014, plans were announced to open a production facility and tasting room in San Leandro, California. The production brewery started brewing in 2015 and currently has capacity at 80,000 - 100,000 barrels. In 2016 the company was named by the Brewers Association the 31st largest craft brewery in the United States. The company continues to brew select brands in Cold Spring, Minnesota distributing that beer throughout the United States.
