Sometimes you just need a reason to down a few good beers. The San Jose Mercury News recently printed an article entitled, "City of Oakland has put Linden Street Brewing on the ropes." I won't restate it except to note that it explains why the Linden Street Brewery has experienced two years of bureaucratic delays. These delays have placed the brewery on the edge of going out of business even before it has officially opened.
I've never been to this brewery and have no connection to its owners. However, I was extremely impressed when I went to Yelp! and found 31 five-star reviews posted by Linden Street's customers. (That's a batting average of one thousand!) Joe B. said that, "It's a small crafty brewery... that harkens back to Oakland's working-class history."
So if you're in or visiting Oakland, you might want to head down to the Port of Oakland area and stop in at 95 Linden Street, Suite 8, Oakland 94607. Try the Urban Lager draft (pictured) and tell 'em that Munchy sent you!
