Albion Brewery, Historical brewery in Hunters Point, San Francisco, US
The Albion Brewery building features a three-story stone tower with Norman castle-inspired architecture, including carved stone columns and arched entrances.
John Hamlin Burnell established the Albion Brewery in 1870, constructing two stone cisterns that produced 10,000 gallons of natural spring water daily.
The brewery connected British brewing traditions to California by importing Scottish hops and English casks while using local spring water resources.
The structure contains two 200-foot hand-carved caverns that continue to supply fresh spring water through the original stone cisterns.
The building transformed from a brewery to a water company during Prohibition, then became an art studio before returning to private ownership.
