Pyramid Berkeley Alehouse & Brewery
Berkeley, California, USA · Est. 1997
Tally's Take
Why this matters
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.
