About Otherwise Brewing
Otherwise Brewing is a brewery on Evans Avenue in San Francisco that makes beer without barley. Every beer is brewed exclusively with gluten-free ingredients.
The recipes draw on ancient grains such as quinoa, millet and buckwheat. Many of these crops are drought-resistant. The team also steers clear of industrial malthouses to support local farmers and malt producers.
The current lineup includes 30,000 Feet, a juicy IPA, and Goth Girlfriend, a stout. Cali Crisp is a rice lager. Guava Fresca is a kettle sour.
Otherwise also runs a taproom on Grant Avenue with its own hours and menu. The entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating at the Evans Avenue location are wheelchair accessible.
