SocketSite is reporting that San Francisco’s historic Albion Castle, a former brewery with an underground cavern and natural springs pool in Hunter’s Point, has been restored and is now for sale again with an asking price of $2,950,000. When the current owner bought it they were going to bring back the Albion Porter & Ale Brewery as well as adding a restaurant, but that never happened.
We had our Laughing Squid blog launch party at the Albion Castle on April 22nd, 2005 (the blog actually began on January 1st, 2005).
The Albion Castle is also the former location of Laughing Squid Web Hosting tech support, Paul de Jong our main support guy at the time lived there.
Maybe one of our rich friends will buy it to bring it back into the community.

Some of the most amazing musical performances, parties, and sheer FUN went off at this place. I wish we could pool resources and get this place back :-/ -SisterMable
Pretty amazing bachelor party took place in the caves…
Yup, the underground needs to own some underground. I’ll never forget being in the cavern w/ KrOB who, soon as he sees the water, strips and swims off into the blackness, leaving me holding his pajamas and feeling small.
