picked up some canned Brew Free or Die IPA while on a trip to New England, can says it's from TN so I'm guessing they have it contract brewed and canned. Not a bad IPA but not as good as most I have tried, maybe because it's canned (haven't had a canned beer in years)? Have some Back in Black to try when I get home!

Didn't get awesome just because I was there with the Giants game crowd and it kind of limited what could have been a fanstastic visit.
This was the last place I visited while in SF. Stopped by on my way to the airport just before a Sunday Giant's game. The pregame crowd is wonderful. It limits the service though.
The overflow from brunch has to sit in the upper level with no order taking available. That means if you chose to sit upstairs, you have to order your beer and food at the bar and someone will bring it to you; a very minor inconvenience.
The fish tostadas were suprisingly very good. I don't know why they serve the tacos with pork but not the tostadas. One (tostadas) is an appitizer while the other is a main menu item.
Not all the beers mentioned on their website are readily available. In fact, I would fair to guess only 1/3.
I tried the Watemellon Wheat based on Elan's recommendation, who i met a few days earlier at Speakeasy. I was pleasantly suprised. I am not a wheat beer drinker. The watermellon taste does come through in the beer. Very similar to a lemon affect.
The Brew Free IPA and the Double Trouble are excellant.
I'll be back

Good joint = very laid back pleasant atmosphere. Good range of interesting brews - all pretty much spot on, though the beers here ere a bit on the lighter side - not at the cost of making a bad beer, just a bit more conservative than some of the brewers in the industry.
Nice to see a Rye beer on tap and they did a good job with it. Red was fine. The Bitter American is a nice change of pace - a classic session beer with a lot of hopping. Great for hop heads who don't want the alcohol of the traditional IPA. IPA was good -again a bit less aggressive than the norm but by no means bad. Porter nailed a style that others miss frequently.
Food was good as well.
I'll be back.

Stopped in for a couple of pints last night. I tried their regular IPA & their Double IPA. They both were very hoppy and had a smooth finish. I Sat at the bar and met a couple of regulars that drive a great distance just to get their favorite local pint of microbrew. The service was great. I didn't try any of their food, but the people at the bar raved over their pizza. Who doesn't when you're drinking beer! Anyhow I also strongly recommend this place if you're ever in the Bay Area.

I visited San Francisco recently from Michigan and I always try to vist as many local brewpubs as I can while traveling. (I've been to almost 200). This one was a little disappointing as far as the beers go. I had no problem at all with the food or service. The beers in my opinion were overall somewhat weak and bland. The one I did enjoy was Brew-Free or Die IPA. That was very good. Some of the others that I had that were only so-so were Trumer Pils, the watermelon ale, 563 Stout, 8th Anniversary Wheat, Schweick's English Mild and the Pomegranate Cider. Overall, a good place in a good location near the ball park. Just not so great with the beer.

I visited this brewpub on 5/5/08 and had the following brews; Trumer Pils, Watermelon Wheat, Wit & Wisdom, Bitter American, North Star Red, Drakes IPA, General Peppo's Porter, and Two Rivers Pomegranate Cider. This place was my favorite SF brewpub for this trip. Although I am a hophead, I still enjoy flavored wheats. I was quite amused and suprised by the watermelon wheat. Pomegranates also seem to be popular this year with west coast brewers. I will be back to this place.

One of my favorites SF brewpubs. The beers are great, the food is awesome. They used to hold "beer school" on Tuesday nights to teach about one beer style. The brewer and owner really know beer. Sometimes the beer selection is a little low, but everything is good. I love the IPA the best.

Awesome beer. Their 21st A IPA has 75 IBU and has so much taste. They had a sea bass that was also excellent. Service and decor are really good.

Great quality beer (IPA was very tasty), good food (pizza and burgers on this trip), and overall good pub atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient, if not especially friendly the two times we were in. Maybe because we weren't locals? Pub is divided into a seat yourself bar section, and a sit down dining section. Well worth the trek into SOMA as a destination.

Good beers, but nothing stands out in my mind. The IPA was great, well-hopped. The Watermelon Wheat was good, something I haven't had. Brought home a six pack of Watermelon Wheat, but didn't want more than one can in a sitting. Grew tired of the flavor.Was there right after a Giants game, so the place was absolutely packed with drunken fans. Bright atmosphere, nice patio.

Once again, good beer trumps medicore food and service. That seems to be a recurring theme with a lot of brewpubs I find. The service wasn't awful, just not the friendly kind I'm used to in the South. And the food was in line with a high school cafeteria. Edible, but not memorable.
Ahh, but the beer! The pale ale and blond were good. But what stood out was the stout, IPA and the watermelon wheat. The IPA was as good as I have had (and I love IPAs). I usually shun fruity beers but the watermelon wheat was fantastic! I was only there on a short trip but why oh why didn't I find a way to bring back some cans of those two?!

Just had my first experience at 21st Amendment. This place is on busy 2nd Street within sight of the ballpark, although just far enough away to discourage the weak from stumbling in. For the SF-initiated, the location is right across the street from South Park, which is not to be confused with the popular cartoon on TV. Or, maybe it is. Dunno. South Park is where the ultra-cool dot commies used to hang when they still had jobs, and hey, walking through there I saw a few left. They may not have jobs any more, but they have a GREAT brewpub. I was there for a late lunch on a busy Monday, sat at the bar, got the basic West Coast IPA (7.2) and a plate of calamari. Excellent. They also had the double IPA available (10.2, "limit 2 per customer" said the sign) but since I had business I had to pass -- however I will go back tomorrow night and check out the double and the effect of a Giants night game during a pennant race. The service was SOMA all the way, frowning young women with attiitude. You will love it, best IPA in the City, and best bay area brew outside of Marin/Sonoma.

This is one of those places where timing is everything. On weekdays, finding parking can be an adventure. If the Giants are in town, getting a beer can be a challenge. Fortunately I didn't have to face either of these dilemmas. They had seven brews and a hard cider on tap to go along with a full bar. Had a pint each of the T.B.N Blonde Bock(6.5%), Phoenix IPA(6.9%) and the Oyster Point Oyster Stout(5.9%). All were good. Even though I'm not a big IPA fan the Phoenix gave me a better understanding of the word "hoppy" and the color,almost like a pink chablis, was cativating. Loved the Oyster Stout. Not a whole lot of choices on the food menu but what they had sounded good. Had a Reuben sandwich with a house salad. The Reuben was good and the salad was great. Not your standard iceberg lettuce with a tomato wedge. salad. All in all, a good time. And casual conversations with a few others around me that were from Chicago and Baltimore proves that 21st Amendment is on the list of brewpubs to visit while in The City. Just wish they'd put Red,Brown or Amber on the brew list.

This is a great place to have a few beers before watching a Giants baseball game, aside from that it is not worth going out of your way to visit. At $4.75 the pints are the most expensive of the San Fran breweries I visited, but they are about half the price of a domestic beer inside the ballpark. The Oyster Point Oyster Stout is great. Unfortunately the upstairs loft had no table service and only one person was pouring beer, so don't visit when you are exceptionally thirty. The onion rings are delicious. Overall this was one of my least favorite SF breweries.

The beer is great, the location is kind of nice too, but for me it is a little too lively. I had to push my way up to the bar and then good luck getting a sampler.

Styles are not too risky: Pale, Golden,IPA, and Stout, but none were bad. They offered a Pomegranate Cider which looked interesting, but was brewed by another establishment.I chose the IPA for my growler.

Terrific! I just tried their Holiday Spiced ALE WOW 5 Stars. I purchased a case to give out as Xmas gifts. I had also their Pork Chops. Another great dinner at 21A! Met a great guy named Ken Hartoonian and he was doing a magic act on making beer disapear. So 21A also provides wonderful entertainment. A must stop if you come to the city!

Stopped by for a few late one night just before closin' her down.
Quality of the beer was very good. Not a whole lot to choose from but the quality offsets that.
Never had food and the service could have been better.
Definately doesn't get my two mugs up, but I'd give it a mug & a quarter.

They had a solid 4 samples. I am still not sure on the style of Batch 300 but I thought all 4 beers were excellent and the Blonde perhaps the most pleasing as I usually don't even like the lightest brewpub offering. My seared ahi salad was amazing. My wife's chicken was perhaps overcooked dropping my food rating. Definitely worth a pull on the tap or a return trip.

I almost missed going to this pub and endured a long, crazy ride on the number 15 bus afterwards, but it was well worth it. Their IPA is simply fabulous. They even have a strong "malt liquor" type brew that proved surprisingly tasty. A fine argument against Prohibition!!

This place was a blast! I had the Amendment extra pale ale which has a slightly sweet maltiness up front with a crisp hop finish. I also had the St. Patricks Irish on nitrogen. Very malty, smooth, and creamy due to the nitro. Lightly hopped. Highly drinkable. Exceptional ales.

Brewery is right down the street from SBC Park- so it's a great place to hit after the game. Has outside seating, with a walk up bar- same as the upstairs- so you aren't going to get any service unless you sit down to eat. They only had 4 beers on draft- but they do serve a seasonal Watermelon Wheat which is fantastic- the remaining beers are about average. Great atmosphere - worth a trip.

We stopped here before going the ball game, and we were happy we did. They have a big selection of beers and their IPA and Watermelon Wheat were really good. If you're in the neighborhood for a game, go here. The staff was friendly too.

We are so glad we took the time to stop here before leaving S.F. This place was highly recommended to us. Near SBC Ball Park - just wish there had been a game on Sunday - that would have made a perfect afternoon. Magnolia Pub, 21st Amendment, Scoma's for dinner. What could be better! This place serves probably the best sampler we have ever had. 7 beers in highball glasses. Wow! We tried them all, but absolutely loved the Pippo's Porter. That may be the best porter I've ever had. They were waiting on their newest batch of Watermelon Wheat. Not particularly being that fond of Wheat beers, we had heard about this one, so stayed the extra 1/2 hour till it was ready! Glad we did. This is something else! Although I prefer the Porter, I'm glad we tried this. Gives you a different view of "Wheat" beers! This, also, is one of the friendliest breweries we have been to. A delightful afternoon.

Food we ate was regular pub fare. Hearty fries were awesome! Were there just before a Giants game so it was really crowded but they handled it a well as can be expected. The barmaid upstairs seemed indifferent, but the beers were very good, especially the Amendment Pale. Visited three brewpubs that day. I'd visit here again.

Was in the City to meet up with a cyber-home brew buddy. We met at the 21st Amendment. First time here for the wife & myself. They had 5 beers available, Pale Ale, Oyster Stout, Hefeweisen, ESB and a Strong Blonde. We sampled the beers and all were tasty. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the fact they didn't have the watermelon Wheat or IPA on tap. But what was served was very nice. The Pale Ale was my pick. The Oyster Stout a close second.

The best beer in the city. Watermelon Wheat to die for! Great news that they will sell beer at Pacbell Park! Eddie the chef is wonderful. Try the Pork Chops! Sean is a excellent brewmaster. And Nice is a gracious host. Fantastic vintage beer advertising adorns the place! A must place before, during and after the game. I give it 5 STARS!!

Their biggest positive feature as a brewpub, is the food. But on the beer, notice how many reviewers here state that their *selection* is great, awesome. That is right. Meaning, they try to do too many different things. Jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Still, a dang a good pale ale, and the food, makes it the best place to go before Giants game (since it is within stumbling distance of PacBell park). Be careful crossing the light rail track, though. :)

Great atmosphere for the baseball lover during the season. But a good place year-round. The beers are done very well. Especially the holiday selctions. I prefer the North Star Red! Food is upscale for a brew pub, but priced reasonably and very tasty. Bar staff is super nice. Check it out. Definitely worth your while!

Hands down, my favorite beer in the Bay Area! You'll think you're in Portland's best brewpubs. For lighter beer fans (relative to other craft beers) the Amendment Pale Ale beats ANYTHING like it. I.P.A. lovers rave about the one here, too. Food is shockingly great for a brewpub. It's four-star restarant quality at neighborhood joint prices! Selection marked "good" only 'cause all those Giants fans sometimes empty the tanks of my favorites during home-stands.

I have been prowling for superior IPAs since long before the brewpub thing got trendy, and the one at this place is among the best I've had, period. Don't go here for service--that's not what they do. And the food is adequate for noshing with tasty brews. I used to work down the street, and based on numerous visits, I can say that the atmosphere is laid back yet fun and lively, and that you'd be hard-pressed to find a better place locally to hang out before a Giants game or after a long week at work.

The first time I went they were having a private party and we couldn't get in. That really pissed me off, but we went back a couple of days later and I enjoyed the place. The beers were very tasty and the food was both plentiful and delicious. They need to hire a little more help for the busy times...like before games.

21st Amendment is a bustling brewpub near 3COM park downtown. They have a good restaurant and horseshoe bar all in one big open space. There's also a cozy bar upstairs. The crowd is friendly, intelligent urban locals. The food was very good. The beer was good. Indeed, the Double Trouble IPA was very good. It's on a higher level than the others. I'd say look for the brewmaster's specials and see if he can keep it going.

I've been to brewpubs around the country. This was one of the best that I have found. These guys are serious about their beers. Beer clearly comes first at this establishment. I think tried all of the beers and they were all excellent. And, our waiter knew his beers! I particularly liked the Double Trouble IPA.

Visited before a Giants day game that started at 12:05 PM. The sign on the door said that they open at 11 on the days that day games are played, but the doors weren't unlocked until about twenty minutes after that. I only had time for two beers and tried the Watermelon Wheat and the Anniversary Amber. The wheat was interesting, served with a wedge of watermelon. The amber was a big (7.8%), well balanced beer. This place is worth stopping by when going to a Giants game.

A very fine Brewpub. If you find yourself in downtown SF and you want a good beer, skip the visit to Thirsty Bear and take the 5 minute cab ride to 21st Amendment. The porter was excellent! All their beers were clean, without obvious flaws. The hops were typically American and used liberally. The barleywine was very good but could use a bit more age to smooth the rough edges. The food was also excellent. I ate there twice in the four days I was in SF. Both times the food was great, the service was fast, the staff were polite and knowledgable, and the atmosphere was pleasant. James, one of their bar tenders, is real gem. I will definately go back next time I get the chance.

This place is OK. I went here after a Giants game and had the IPA. We also had food. Our four beers and appetizer was all free, it was on the anniversery of the place and 1 pint was supposed to be free, when they annonced that we left and did good. we did grab the last free beers at the bar , then whoooosh!

Only had the Double Trouble IPA here and they didn't lie when they said it was hoppy. And it packed a punch! I liked it a lot. Got there around 10 pm and the kitchen was closed, so we couldn't sample the food. Bartender was efficient, but not particularly friendly to us out-of-towners.

When I visited in may, I was less impressed than the other reviews would have predicted. Average beers, seems mainly here to semi-please Giants fans

Very good beers. The IPA is ultra hoppy, but still drinkable. The Stout was excellent. Food was good, and the service was great. The bartender gave me directions for other brewpubs to check out while I was in town!

Sorry for the below review, I confused it with 20 Tank brewery. I did like the beer here, parking was a tough one. Great atmosphere. Ignore or remove my closed comment.

excellent choice very good taps, nice wine selection for non-beer drinking friends(are their any?) only complaint, they made us wait to get in as it wasn't 4:30pm. Wonderful art work.

Good food, great location during baseball season near Pac Bell Park. Went after they first opened and the selection was small, but well-crafted. Went later in fall and they had great seasonal beer. Food is a bit pricey, but this is more of an upscale cafe/restaurant that also has a fine brewery and just a brewpub.

This place rocks! We found it by accident while walking from the Montgomery BART station to Pac Bell Park. The beers are incredible. The Hefe is a true Bavarian style with all the wonderful esther that go along for the ride. The North Star Red is a well balanced, nicely hopped Pale. The US IPA is a fantastic American IPA (hoppy, hoppy, hoppy!). The Oyster Stout (yes, with oyster shells in the boil) must be tried to be believed. If you are serious about good beer you MUST get to this place the next time you are in the Bay Area. It's a few blocks from the BART station but well worth the walk. And if you're going to a game at Pac Bell it's even closer. Check out their website for more info.
