21st Amendment taproom at 563 Second St. closed Sept. 28 after lenders withdrew funding, citing industry pressure. The production facility and a San Leandro taproom are expected to close in November. The brewery became known for Hell or High Watermelon and served as a 25-year game-day fixture near Oracle Park. Co-owners Nico Freccia and Shaun O'Sullivan indicated plans to explore future opportunities. Longtime patrons described emotional farewells during the final weekend, calling the tap house a San Francisco home. Regulars recalled the welcoming bartenders, the horseshoe bar in a large warehouse space, and packed crowds on game days.
