America's Top 10 Craft Breweries
Linden Street Brewery, Oakland, CA
There's no restaurant or tasting room at Oakland's Linden Street Brewery, just a top-notch production facility that specializes in “Old California Style” lagers, the kind that originated in the city pre-prohibition. While their focus is bringing a lost way of brewing back to the region, they do so with a modern twist. For example, their Urban Peoples' Common Lager is more golden in color than its coppery predecessor. Linden Street beers are available at drinking and dining establishments citywide. (
