Oakland was at one time one of the largest beer brewing cities in the country until Prohibition ended the city’s golden glow.  But thanks to several microbrewers it is buzzing again. For the last few years Oakland and Berkeley have emerged as a craft beer goldmine and the location of some of the best breweries, brewpubs and beer bars in the Golden State.  Learn more about Oakland's beer history on one of the following beer tours.
