Brewery Day Trip: Craft beer adventures near Oakland’s Jack London Square

This month, my Bay Area brewery tours took me to the industrial end of Oakland’s Jack London Square. Among the warehouses and manufacturing businesses along Third Street are a couple of breweries and brewpubs that are well worth venturing into for a pint.Brewer-owner Adam Lamoreaux founded Old Kan Beer & Co. in 2017 in the same spot that once housed Linden Street, the brewery he closed in 2015.

He found the ideal location tucked between industrial spaces less than a mile from Jack London Square. The vintage brick building was once owned by Westinghouse, and the old steel supports are still there inside the taproom. Linden Street Brewing closed in 2015. But Lamoreaux used the original equipment to create Old Kan, which is a jumbled word play on Oakland.

Lamoreaux currently offers three beers, including the flagship Old Kan Classic, a delicious version of a California Common not unlike Anchor’s Steam Beer. Old Kan Amber is a refreshing Vienna lager with great malt character that’s very quaffable. And Old Kan Dark, his smooth and tasty black lager, is probably my favorite of the three.

The comfortable, wide-open space, originally a 1940s coffee roastery, includes picnic tables, board games, a foosball table, electronic darts and a pool table. They regularly host trivia nights, live music and karaoke. It’s kid-friendly, and dogs are welcome outside.
