Alameda Brewing, located in downtown Alameda, has been successfully catering to the craft beer market for a decade. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in July, the brewery is owned by the Phua family and occupies a building they own. Initially started with co-owner Matt Fox, the Phuas took sole ownership in 2019 before the pandemic. They have created notable beers, including the award-winning Burma Ale and the refreshing Let it Lager. Vincent Phua reflects on the industry's changes pre- and post-COVID, highlighting the increasing competition.
Alameda Brewing celebrated its 10-year anniversary and has carved a niche in downtown Alameda, thriving amid competition with quality brews like Burma Ale and Let it Lager.
Vincent Phua describes the Phua family's ownership of Alameda Brewing as 'extremely fortuitous,' particularly with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The brewery focuses on variety and quality, winning a silver medal for its unique Burma Ale, a gruit crafted without hops, offering floral notes akin to Earl Grey.
In the competitive craft beer industry, Vincent Phua notes that pre-COVID, simply producing beer drew crowds, but the landscape has changed significantly since.
