Alameda Brewery / Palace Brewery
Alameda, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. A contemporary national brewer-return table records Alameda Brewery in Alameda selling 817 barrels in the year ending May 1878 and 487 barrels in the year ending May 1879, directly establishing commercial production. Alameda Museum historical research independently says Henry Schuler and Son later operated the Palace, formerly Alameda Brewery, on Sixth Street and Santa Clara Avenue. Pass 99 therefore keeps Alameda Brewery / Palace Brewery as one historical lineage rather than creating a duplicate rename-phase entity. Exact founding year, transition date, earlier proprietors and closure remain UNKNOWN.
