The love for beer of all varieties is evident in the selection of award-winners at this employee-owned brewery in the Jack London Square area. Original Pattern consistently produces the most satisfying and compelling offerings of any brewery in this beer-loving town. Hazy IPAs are the specialty, but the tap list always has a variety of lighter beers and stouts or porters, too.
The coast has a small but impressive roster of craft breweries, and the best of them is this IPA specialist. The charming taproom and its front patio offer flights and full pours of the beers produced in-house. Beyond the hoppy beers, the brewery also serves a range of styles, from tropical-fruit sours to vanilla-coffee stouts.
