Legacy of the Mare Island Original 21ers

  • Mare Island Brewing Co. - Coal Shed Brewery 850 Nimitz Avenue Vallejo, CA, 94592 United States (map)

To mark the release of “The 21ers” Black Lager, we're hosting a special release event during SF Beer Week highlighting the people and historic Bay Area civil rights movement that inspired the beer. Join us at our Coal Shed Brewery to celebrate the release and enjoy a short speaking program (approx. 30min.) about the Mare Island Original 21ers, and how their actions in the 1960s led to major reform in decades of discriminatory labor practices at Mare Island Naval Shipyard and beyond.

Join Us Feb. 17 at 6pm at our Coal Shed Brewery:

Hear from Jake Sloan (author, activist, and member of the Original 21), and Brendan Riley (author, veteran reporter, and local historian). After speaking, Jake and Brendan will also be around for book signings and questions.

The bar and food truck will be open for purchase

$1 of each pint of “The 21ers” sold will go to the Michael James Jackson Foundation, supporting technical training and career advancement for black, indigenous, and people of color in the brewing and distilling industries.

‍The event is free to attend, but RSVP is required.
