Hi,

I remembered about 10 years ago I participated with a group of friends
and make our own brand of beer at a south bay micro-brewery. The
brewery runs this service as a business. They provide recepies on the
wall and buckets of malts and options that you can choose to select to
make the beer to your liking. You can even brand the bottle with your
own design.

Does anyone know the store I am refering to or know whether it still
exists? I would love to get back there and do it again.

Please let me know if you have any info
thanks

Dan

There used to be a place like that in Mountain View next to the Costco.
But it folded about N? years ago.
I think there also used to be another brew-on-premises place in
Cuptertino,
but I think its long gone also (I never saw that place myself).

The only one I know of currently in the bay area is the
Devil's Canyon Brewery in Belmont:
http://www.devilscanyonbrewery.com/i...12&Itemi d=22

For the cost however, I think its cheaper to buy your own equipment and
ingredients
and make it yourself at home.
And once you have your own eqiupment, the next time you brew you only
have
to buy more ingredients.

Check out Fermentation Frenzy (www.fermentationfrenzy.com) for more
information
on doing that.

Thanks both, I will check out Belmont one as it is close.

I agree with the cost angle. However I'm doing this as a team-building
event at work so it certainly is nice to have a brewey that offers it.
Personally I think if a micro-brewery market this right in the bay
area, they should have no problem suriving it, as a side business at
least.

Seems like the other brew-on-premise places folded around or before
the tech-bubble popped.

So I guess as long as there are enough companies interested in using
them as team-building events, they should survive.

Typically, tho, these places don't get much second tiem business,
since people who become interested in brewing tend to want
to make the jump to homebrewing.
