Oakland Brewery Lineup

Did you know that Jack London is home to the highest concentration of craft breweries in the whole Bay Area? The Jack London Brewing District was established in 2018 with the Jack London Improvement District and four different local craft breweries. Since then, we have co-hosted brewery tours, bar hops, and three beer festivals. Alongside craft-centric beer bars like Tiger's Taproom and Hesher's Taproom, Jack London's craft beer culture has never been more vibrant!
