The popular brewpub is now at the heart of the new city center, just south of the financial district and only two blocks from the San Francisco Giants baseball park.

(On tap) Beautiful, clear amber with a small, off-white head. Aroma of yeast and fruit. Body comes medium with a lightly roasted malt profile - again with notes of fruit and yeast, but - not so typical for the style - it’s fairly dry. Dry finish also, but for once at 21st not very bitter. 190307

(On tap) Clear, amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Clean, piney hop aroma. Full, solid body with some caramel malt, but - again - otherwise completely dominated by lovely aroma hops. A massive and slightly perfumy bitterness rounds this off. 190307

(On tap) Beautiful, warm amber golden with a dense, creamy, off-white head - nitro. Lightly nutty, roasted aroma. Medium body with a lightly roasted malt profile and a very soft mouthfeel - as always with nitro beers. Ends dry and rather hoppy which seems to be the trademark for 21st. 190307

(On tap) Pale amber colour with a white head leaving laces. Very floral - almost perfumy - aromas with an incredible freshness. Very light in body, weak flavours of nuts but otherwise completely dominated by the fresh aroma hops. A lovely session beer. 190307

Draft. A blend of a beer from 21st Ammendment and Magnolia to commemorate Strong Ale month 2007. Bronze beer with an off-white head. Slightly fruity aroma. Estery/huge raspberry/strawberry/peach flavor with malt. Alcohol noticable - though smooth and drinkable. Lingering berry. Some yeastiness, but esters and fruit dominate. Would guess it’s the Blind Lust from 21st Ammendment and the Tweezer Tripel or Thunderpussy from Magnolia.

Draft. Dark blackish beer with a thin beige head. Low smoky aroma. Earthy, smoky flavor with some malt - not as bacon like as some, but there is a bacon-like component. Fuller bodied. Lingering smoke. Nice.

Draft. Amber/bronze beer with an off-white head.l Raspberry and light malt aroma. Big raspberry flavor with some backing spicy yeast and malt. A bit too heavy handed on the raspberry - overwhelms everything else. Medium bodied. Lingering raspberry and spice. Would guess it’s the Golden Doom that’s blended with the Linemans.

Draft. Rich amber beer with a nice off-white head. yeasty, spicy aroma with some malts and backing hops. Estery/fruity flavor peach/lots of citrus with backing malt and spicy yeast. Lingering sweetness with esters and some phenolic components. Medium/full bodied. Hops and alcohol showing - though hops tend to be more of the PNW varietal and not a lot of noble hops like some of the Belgian IIPAs. Good complexity.
