'I’ve risked everything to succeed and to preserve Buffalo Bill’s.'
Buffalo Bill's Brewery, located at 1082 B St. in Hayward, has permanently closed after nearly four decades.Nearly four decades after Buffalo Bill’s Brewery debuted as one of the first brewpubs in America, the, owner and master brewer Geoff Harries announced on Thursday that the road he chose many years ago was coming to an end. He told SFGATE via email that closing Buffalo Bill’s has been one of the most challenging decisions of his life.
“For 33 years I’ve risked everything to succeed and to preserve Buffalo Bill’s, but this time was different,” Harries said. “During the pandemic, we were forced to close for half a year. A closure like this is hard to come back from for any business, much less a full-service restaurant and brewpub.”
