Announcing The Smoker @ Sweeney Ridge, pop-up events

January 17, 2022Ā  ā€¢ Ā #post#update

Welcome to Sweeney Ridge


Hello World~!

I imagine that if you are reading this, you probably know me, but just in case you donā€™t let me give you a short introduction: My name is Nicholas and I like to make things.

Also, if youā€™ve gotten to know me over the last 20 years, while working in tech or studying, teaching, and traveling, you may not know that I got my start on a small organic farm, raising animals on a garden for consumption. We butchered animals and made pickles and baked fresh bread. I also worked in various resturants where I washed dishes and then prep-cooked, and worked the line, I also baked bagels in a bakery and popped a shit ton of popcornā€¦

Over the last couple years, Iā€™ve been working on bringing Sweeney Ridge, my take on a brewery, delicatessen to Pacifica where I now live. Unfortunately as ventures like this go, it has taken longer and cost more than I would have suspected to find a proper home that fits the vision I have in mind.

Anyway, while Iā€™ve been scouting the pacific coast for a location, Iā€™ve also been doing a couple other things:

  • Building a 500 gallon commercial smoker
  • Smoking meats
  • Creating and refining recipes for various types of kimchi, pickles,marinades, sauces and rubs
  • Baking Bread
  • Putting together a nano brewery
  • Farming yeast and making beer
  • Growing herbs and vegetables
  • Roasting Coffee
  • Visiting farmers and suppliers

While Iā€™m not allowed by law (for now - am working on getting all the licenses) to offer all of the things Iā€™ve been working on just yet. There are a couple things I can share, namely my coffee, soda water and sandwiches made in San Francisco.

The first three pop-ups will be in early February near Pacifica/San Bruno for pickup with SF events to follow.
