Speakeasy Ales & Lagers, based in San Francisco, was founded in 1997 by local home-brewers who aimed to celebrate Prohibition-era history and craft beer. Its inaugural beer, Prohibition Ale, is a balanced American Amber Ale that helped the operation scale from a handful of kegs sold from a van to a major local producer. The brewery has grown into San Francisco’s second-largest craft operation, with Big Daddy IPA as its flagship and a focus on West Coast-style craft beer alongside limited-release and specialty brews. The company plans to expand with a barrel-aging cellar and a full-time tasting room, reinforcing its emphasis on innovation. In April 2023, Speakeasy Ales & Lagers was acquired by Full Circle Brewing Company, marking a notable recent development.
