From the record

Summary

Industry reporting states the Berkeley restaurant and brewery operated from 1997 until permanent closure in July 2015, with production consolidated elsewhere.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

Eighteen years on the alehouse-and-brewery model, closed permanently in July 2015 with production consolidated elsewhere. That last phrase is the ending most craft breweries actually get, and it is not a failure: the beer goes on being made, just not here. The archive records the Berkeley site as closed and does not follow the production to wherever it went.
