Draft Beers

This menu board was displayed at Buffalo Bill's Brewery, one of the nation's first post-Prohibition brewpubs, which opened in Hayward, California in 1983. The menu reflected a shift in American beer culture, displaying beers that were imported, locally made, and brewed on-site. At a time when the nation's beer industry was highly consolidated, with a small number of very large breweries generating most of the nation's beer, the arrival of microbreweries and brewpubs gave American consumers a new choice among styles and flavors.
