Spirited History: San Jose

Tour

Even in its earliest days, San Jose had a reputation as a hard-drinking town. From early vineyards to homemade mezcal and peach brandy to German breweries, the city has a libation-rich legacy, despite getting a head start on Prohibition with the closure of all of its saloons in 1918. Although much of San Jose’s besotted boozing is relegated to the history books, traces of this past remain if you know where to look. Join us for a stroll through downtown, where we’ll have our minds on the past and our glasses raised.
