Calicraft Brewing

The oaktown brown. Brown in name, but tastes more like a stout. Great beer, easy drinking and great smooth but bold flavors.

With the craft beer movement steadily on the rise these last few years, it’s always great to discover new artisans, especially the local ones. My old boss you to sing the praises of Calicraft’s Kolsch. Not until recently did I decide to give this brewer a shot. Coming out of Chico originally (which if you’ve been is a great drinking town and home of Sierra Nevada) the owner started brewing in Berkeley. As the «Buzzerkeley «beers progressed and more experimenting Calicraft was born. I like their use of unusual ingredients in their brews, though straight up brown ale and kolsch are solid. I guess they also make beer for the one and only Chez Panisse. I need to get my hands on those sometime. Otherwise, a great local brewer with some interesting brews. There’s never been a better time to be a drinker than now.
