It is said that this brewery in downtown Manteca sits on a hotspot that ignites from time to time. Fact is, fires broke out at least twice in this place. The first one, in 1975, ended the buildings history as a movie theater, the second one, in 2003 almost destroyed the brewpub that is now in place of the old theater.
The first fire ironically happened during the last screening of "Towering Inferno". That fire was certainly devastating, as it gutted the entire building, but we couldn’t find any records of casualties. However, local folklore (also reported at unsolvedmysteries.com) has it that "...ghosts of dead firefighters and movie patrons are said to wander the restaurant looking for a way out."
