Why would a famous San Francisco microbrewery's logo appear on a can purporting to be a Toaster Pastry? Well, when you get to be a successful microbrewery you can start bottling, or in this case, canning your own beer. Now for the cries of "but toaster pastry?" The answer is simple. Kellogg's, the famous food manufacturer makes a jam filled pastry that you heat up in a toaster. I am not sure where they make them, but about 20 years ago when I first came to CA it was just around the corner from the office I worked at in San Leandro. That Kellogg's factory became an abandoned plant, and was resurrected as a small business park, and that is where 21st Amendment have their cannery.
Why am I telling you this? Because they have a tasting room and factory outlet store! The tasting room is open several days a week, including Saturday and Sunday. Food is currently supplied by food trucks, gourmet roach coaches, but the ultimate goal is to add a restaurant to the factory.
As I write this we are coming up on the first anniversary of the public opening of the tasting room, so might have some celebratory events on offer soon.
