Best of the Bay 2025 Editors' Pick: Enterprise Brewery - 48 hills
"Less than a year later, local beer vets Jesse Hayter and Cameron MacDonald (Standard Deviant, Fort Point, a lot of others) took over the space and opened their Enterprise Brewing Co. (named after a long-forgotten 100+ year old SF beer brand) and things couldn't be more different-and flat out delightful. The taproom is a welcome neighborhood watering hole filled with regulars, casuals and travellers, taking down cold, fresh glasses of beer that favor a lighter palette, but still has something for all."
"There's Enterprise's flagship crisp Pilsner, often found in taps at other fine establishments in the city. There's a Copper Ale made with Alameda's Admiral Malt that's a cheeky nod to Anchor Steam and damn it if I don't need that itch scratched these days. On a recent stop, I had a seasonal Festbier (Oktoberfest anyone?), the approachable/crushable SOMA West Coast IPA and MacDonald's pre-prohibition style lager brewed for Enterprise's 2nd anniversary."
1150 Howard Street served as Cellarmaker Brewing Company's celebrated taproom during craft beer's mid-2010s peak, known for Hazy IPA and barrel-aged stouts. Cellarmaker moved to the East Bay in 2022, leaving a SOMA stretch vacancy. Less than a year later Jesse Hayter and Cameron MacDonald opened Enterprise Brewing Co. in the space, naming it after an old San Francisco beer brand. Enterprise operates as a neighborhood taproom with a community-minded spirit and a lighter beer palette. Core offerings include a crisp Pilsner, a Copper Ale with Alameda's Admiral Malt, seasonal Festbier, a SOMA West Coast IPA, and a pre-prohibition style lager.
