According to Jay Brooks, the rumors about the return of Uncle Sams in Livermore are true. They’re gonna have a downtown brewpub with a legit 10 barrel brewhouse and 18 fermenters and bright tanks. Full kitchen. Targeted for opening by December. Here’s the full story with a nice write up on the other Livermore breweries:

Hopefully the beers will improve with the new system.



Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this news. Sounds like an expensive undertaking in any case.

Alameda Island is still dialing in the hoppy beers. Brewer said he was more of a malt guy but is listening to everyone else who says he needs more hops. Redid the pale and the redone ipa is on the way.

I’m planning on heading there for the first time next week. Wednesday probably. Thanks for the update!

I bet they succeed even if the beers are still terrible. Locals around here are starving for a brewpub. It’s one of the reasons Sauced has done so well even though their beers are made off site by Working Man.

With that said, It’s really a messed up situation. The guy running the place had a very rudimentary understanding of the brewing process even for a homebrewer. I hope they clean things up and get a real professional to do the brewing. It only makes sense with the amount of money they’re putting into the place.

Hopefully with all that money they’ll hire someone that knows how to brew. I think any homebrewer with no professional experience that can afford an employee should hire a competent brewer to at the very least teach them a thing or two.

Yeah, I’m either heading up to the yay area tomorrow and then all the way back to Clovis during the week, or I’m heading north from brocal early Monday morning and stopping in Clovis "on the way". Either way it’s not likely that I’ll be in town on a day that the brewery is open.
