High-profile craft brewery closure will erase dozens of Bay Area jobs
SAN LEANDRO — The shutdown of 21st Amendment Brewery, a Bay Area craft beer leader, will erase dozens of jobs in the Bay Area, affecting workers in two cities in the region, according to an official state government filing.
The brewery intends to eliminate a total of 76 jobs in the Bay Area, the company stated in a WARN notice it filed with the state Employment Development Department.

“The closings will involve the cessation of all operations and termination of all employees” of 21st Amendment Brewery, Nico Freccia, a managing partner, wrote in the WARN letter to the EDD.
Founded in 2000, the brewery will cease operations in San Leandro and in San Francisco.
The closures will eliminate 58 jobs at the company’s production center at 2010 Williams St. in San Leandro and another 18 jobs at the 21st Amendment brewpub in San Francisco.
21st Amendment Brewery disclosed in recent days that it had decided to cease operations, close both facilities, and discharge all of its employees.
In an interview with this news organization earlier in September, brewery co-owners Freccia and Shaun O’Sullivan indicated that the drink business has yet to recover or return to the business levels it had enjoyed prior to the coronavirus outbreak.
The brewery company lost a financial partner recently, a departure that prodded the partners to embark on the complete shutdown of the business and the dismissal of all its workers.
