Beach Chalet Brewery / Chalet Ales & Lagers
San Francisco, California, USA · Est. 1996
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. Current 2026 first-party site says Chalet Ales & Lagers are brewed in-house at Beach Chalet, just steps from the Pacific, with 6–8 house brews typically on tap. First-party history marks Beach Chalet 1996–2026, supporting 1996 as the modern brewpub opening year. Park Chalet is related hospitality, not a separate canonical brewery.
