"You lose all sense of scale standing inside the St. George Spirits distillery, housed inside a former Navy hangar in Alameda with soaring copper columns bellowing steam that curls up toward a redwood ceiling high above. In fact, it’s hard to grasp the distillery’s true size — a whopping 65,000 square feet — at least until you watch a semi-truck back into the far end of the hangar in its entirety, trailer included. Then you realize that if the cavernous space were emptied of its contents, a whole fleet could comfortably fit inside." - Lou Bustamante
