The Experience:

Enjoy a Brew in Island Comfort!

Ready for an Island Haze (Hazy IPA) with notes of mandarin and pineapple? Or a  Coastal Classic IPA with hints of pine and citrus? Head on down to Alameda Island Brewing for an afternoon tasting with your friends, a night out or to buy a keg. They are open until 10 and can’t wait to see you!

Something for Everyone. They take these words seriously. It doesn’t matter if it’s your first time or hundredth time there, they want to make you feel like you’re right at home. Grab some food from one of their neighboring restaurants and make yourself at home – this is everyone’s living room!

The brewery’s main production facility and original taproom are located at 1716 Park Street just off the Park St Bridge in the heart of downtown Alameda. This was the original site of the Cavanaugh Motors building (1948), the second Chrysler dealership ever established in California. Owners Matt and Bill chose this building for its unique history as well as its great location. Note their classy new window signage.

Bring your friends down to the taproom and enjoy their covered and heated patio. Hours: Tues – Sat 12-10pm; Sun 12-7pm.

Covid notes: Masks must be worn inside the taproom and please social distance. You can remove your mask when actively eating or drinking.
