This is such a cute little brewery located in Alameda. Great selections of beer, plenty of space to sit. I definitely will be coming here again. We came here early, basically one of the first people there and the bartender was extremely cool. They have a fridge section filled with cans as well that you can buy and they also sell merch! If you are ever in Alameda come check this place out! read more

I was excited to visit this location having been to their more touristy Pier 39 version. This location is tucked away in an area that was a former military base that is being repurposed with breweries, restaurants and lofts - it's weird but fun! They have a large indoor space and a great outdoor patio which is where we enjoyed our IPAs! It was laid back, very chill and great beers and service! Really enjoyed it !! read more

Meeting with friends at Faction Brewing nearby, another area friend met us and we all decided to make an evening of brewery hopping. This side of Alameda Island is all ex-military warehouses that are being repurposed. I've had some Humble Sea beers over the years and found them excellent, but somehow missed this newer taproom. They have plenty of free parking. There's lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and a playground for the little ones! Outside food is allowed so we had an In-N-Out feast while we enjoyed some beer. They offered flights and also had a selection of bottles & cans to go. The staff was super welcoming and friendly, mood of other people happy to be there too. As it got too cold and windy outside, we moved inside for another round. Prices were reasonable, glassware clean. If you have time and are nearby, it's well worth coming here! read more

Humble sea brewing is always great as usual. This location is kind of small and I found street parking. Good beers per usual and I really enjoyed the Pilsner here today. Will be back and recommend if I'm in the area. read more

If you like hazy beer (or "foggy" as they call it), then you're in for a treat! Humble Sea has some of the best foggy beer around! Singles, doubles, triples -- and even the occasional QUAD -- all of them beautifully crafted and full of flavor. Mmm! Beer!! Bartender shout outs: enjoy a pint with the amazingly friendly Alyson or the ever-so-luminous Dana, nod your head to playlists curated in-house by Sayre, and soak in the ambiance of the outdoor patio with Sabirah. Gotta cut this review short; I'm heading over there right now.... read more

Humble Sea Brewing - Beer + patio + sunshine = AWESOME! - Beer Bar Near Me - Alameda, California

Great beer & the new beer garden is gorgeous. Alyson always gives great service & today I was helped by Dana who was also exceptional! If you've been in the Bay long enough you know Humble Sea has some of the best beer but it's always the people that have stood out. This location is no exception read more

This is located on Alameda Point in the Spirits Alley area. It is next to other businesses, apartments and the new restaurant Saltbreaker. I wanted to try this place out since I went to their location before in Santa Cruz. The aesthetic is so California, I love it. They sell merch on site and the designs are cool! The beer is pretty good. Socks & Sandals is my fave and some of their IPAs are refreshing. They have food trucks that come sometimes to sell food. I think they aim to always have one on site, but I've been a couple times where there has been a problem with food trucks not showing up. But really, the vibe is just not it. The staff is nice (never have had a problem or seen one), but it is SO quiet in there every time I go. There isn't music playing and if there is, it's VERY VERY low. There are no TVs, which sucks because it would be cool to have another brewery on the island with a TV besides Almanac. It feels like I can hear everyone's conversation that is next to me. The place is packed when there are events happening, but that's about it. There are seating options inside and outside. Outside, the picnic tables have umbrellas, which is nice for days that you don't want the sun to beat you down. Overall, I want to like this place, I REALLY REALLY do, but it's just "meh" to me. Now maybe if they would up that music, get a TV or 2 and more family friendly things, it may be pretttty cool. TVs: No Bathrooms: inside Water Station: No Non alcoholic options: Yes Food: via food trucks (if they're there- they do have a food truck schedule on their websites but food trucks have flaked before) Kid friendly: I mean kinda? Pet friendly: YES! read more

Humble Sea Alameda has fantastic, juicy IPAs - easily the best beer in Spirits Alley! While the beer is consistently excellent, the atmosphere and vibes are lacking. Very disappointing considering how cool the Pacifica location is! I've gone a few times for Trivia Night (which was canceled last minute) and certain food trucks would flake and not show up despite being posted on social media. It's often incredibly quiet. I still recommend stopping by for the beer, but for a livelier experience, consider Almanac or Faction afterward. read more

This brewery has been on my list to visit. I was hoping to come with my daughter, but my buddy beat her to it. Quality/Quantity - Socks & Sandals - IPA, my buddy said that it was cool and crisp and too easy to drink. So Far So Gud - Marzen, my beer. Good coloring and flavor. Light snacks are also available. Food truck outside, but it was closed when we got here. Atmosphere - Cool clean crispy decor, including the bathrooms, see pictures. To-go can options, see picture for the menu and options. Plenty of street parking, as you can NOT park in the lot, see pictures of all the warnings. Open 7 days a week, see my picture or Yelp for specific hours. Trivia Wednesdays. Cool small dog park. Available for rent for private events. Service - The one employee must have had a VERY long day. Shared that it was our first time here and asked for recommendations. Well with the music blaring so loud, we could barely hear him and we felt he was mumbling. So I decided to ask for a sample which he reluctantly gave me. QR code ordering available on the tables, maybe we should have gone that route? Well, of course I plan to give them another chance as the beer was good and I want to bring my daughter here also. Price - $7 to $8 a pint. See pictures of the menu for all pricing. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2015 with your 4 locations. I'm surprised that I have not been to your Santa Cruz or Pacifica locations, or have I??? read more

This review is long overdue. I'm glad that they opened here in Alameda. I would much rather grab a beer here than at Faction or Alamanc. The decor is similar to the other locations, with inside and outside seating. All locations also sell merch (but if you're looking for lots of merch Pacifica location has an actual mini store attached to the brewe I've been to Santa Cruz and Pacifica location a few times. I feel like other locations the staff are more friendly, more eager to make conversations and anticipated the need to offer a sample of a beer when you're trying to decide what to order. And to be honest, now that it's so close to home, we rarely stay. We just go in to grab a couple 4-packs and make our way. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday because we were following the SmackBurger truck but were pleasantly surprised by Humble Sea! The space is very nice with a huge outdoor section with string lights and tons of tables and a nice little dog area. The beers themselves are high quality. I'm a big sour beer guy and they didn't have any fruited sours but they did have their Shoalmates. Its good, very good. Seriously, I wish I picked some up but will have to go back and get more! read more

Humble Sea as a brewery gets 5/5. We love their Santa Cruz and Pacifica locations. This location not as much, which is a shame because it is the closest location to home. Staff wasn't very friendly or interested in helping on a slow Tuesday afternoon. We sat at the bar and both staff members just stood at the end of the bar by the "Order Here" sign. They asked us "Are you sitting at the bar?" We said yes, then they both ignored us looking the opposite direction until we said "Excuse me..." to ask questions about the beer. I understand QR codes and not having table service but if you're sitting at the bar they should still take your order right? Weird first encounter but whatever, we didn't have a chance to try their food truck but really appreciate that they have food options available everyday. This location obviously is not on a beach like others but still feels like it's greatly missing the beach feel all Humble Sea locations have. Maybe some more fun wall art would help the decor/vibes? It's just missing something. We'll probably be back to visit again, but we won't rush back. After visiting Almanac and Admiral Malting's on the same day it was disappointing to see such unenthusiastic staff at such a cool brewery.. read more

Humble Sea Brewing - Back from the Shred Hazy Ipa. Very hazy yet yummy - Beer Bar Near Me - Alameda, California

I was estactic to learn Humble Sea would be opening in Alameda. I absolutely love their Super Pops series and have even driven to Pacifica for pick up. Having them 15 miles from home without paying toll for a bridge is awesome. I've definitely had some awesome beers over the years from Humble Sea, frequently picking up 4 packs and singles from local bottle shops. But there definitely is something special about going to the source, having a few tasters, and bringing home some brews. I came out for the Tropical Blue Super Pops shortly after it dropped, but missing the four packs. It was awesome to sit outside and soak up the sun. I made the Party Mermaid drop and that was super delicious. The Surfsquatch was also very good. If sour/smoothies aren't your thing, their Socks and Sandals series never disappoints. Their triple and quadruple hazies are JUICY. Their lagers are crisp, light and flavorful. There's beers for everyone here. Tacos El Ultimo Baile has been here on Saturdays, get the brisket tacos, and thank me later. read more

New brewery alert! Humble Sea has been on my radar ever since I saw this gem in Santa Cruz. But look no further! You no longer have to make the long drive. Humble Sea has found a home in Alameda, bless the beer Gods. This place is super spacious with plenty of tables/benches topped with giant umbrellas to shield you from that D.. vitamin D that is! I ordered the Super pop for the lovely green color. This tastes like a cider with a hint of floral and dark chocolates. To answer your question, your pee will NOT turn green after indulging in this beverage. There's lot of varieties to choose from so come thirsty! read more

Humble Sea Brewing - Super pop - Beer Bar Near Me - Alameda, California

Visited on a Friday around 5pm. Some folks around but still had lots of open tables inside and out on the patio. Drinks: Lots of beer as well as a hard seltzer on tap. Three sizes 1 Liter for their lighter lagers, 16oz and 5oz for pretty much everything else on the menu. I ordered their Octoberfest Marzen the Taste Gud, which was sweet, malty and really nice. Food: Didn't try but there was a Mexican food truck parked outside. Service friendly and fairly efficient, no complaints. Overall really like this location of humble sea, would recommend a visit. read more

Really cute space and awesome beers! Their outdoor space has great table settings with patio umbrellas that had solar lights. So if you want a good place to chill with your friends and fur buddies for a drink, this is a great spot. When we were there, there was a fillipino food truck I loved that they had 4 oz servings so you don't feel like you are committing to a full glass. Or get to enjoy a few different brews without filing up. My favorite for the day was the POG hard seltzer.... Reminded me of Hawaii read more

Humble Sea Brewing - two glasses of beer on a table - Beer Bar Near Me - Alameda, California

Pretty solid brewery. Used to be a huge humble sea fan, but they dropped on my list over time. I feel like they were too focused on expanding vs making great beer. This time the beers were pretty good. Their known for their "foggy" (hazy) ipas I've been to their Santa Cruz and Felton (now closed) locations. This place is the most spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Most tables outside have umbrellas for shade. Dog friendly. There are QR codes on tables that you can order with or you can get in line at the bar. The QR menu needs some work still. Different size pours of the same beers are not listed together and for one beer there was a 16 oz available but no 5 oz (later found out they tapped out). They have a nice variety of beers. 16 beers on tap. Prices are $3.50-4 for 5 oz (taster) or $7-8 for full pours (12 or 16 oz). The way they do taster/flights needs improvement though. They don't give you a tray or label your beers. So if you order a lot, you will need multiple hands to bring back to your table and have good memory. They don't serve food but have food trucks on site. There's self serve water inside. They have a large selection and stock of 4 packs for to go Service was decent. Their stingy and don't let you sample though. All other locations do Only 2 bathrooms and there's always a line. Plan ahead. This place is popular. Plenty of free street or parking lot (read signs first) parking read more

Popped in opening weekend and had a great experience. Wait staff knew what they were doing, environment was chill, and the beer was soo good. I had been to the Santa Cruz location but this one is much closer to home. I can see myself coming back regularly. Parking was a bit confusing but rolled the dice on the lot next to their play area, not directly in front of the door. No ticket or towing so I was happy! Great product! read more

Interior has a pleasing paint job and is very 90s. Outside has a ton of seating but not a lot to look at or do. Biggest selling point is its vicinity to all the other awesome breweries next to it. Good beer, warm outdoor space and access to an impromptu brewery crawl if you want. If you are in Alameda check this spot out before you leave but don't just go here because of the name. read more

Came here on Sunday afternoon for some brews and some smashburgers. We ordered from the food truck first than we went inside to order two flights of beers. The guy helping me out was very nice and informative. We wanted to try both the west coast beers and the hazy ipas. This place is much quieter than Faction or Almanac. They have seating inside and outside as well. Staff here is always nice and friendly and checking up on us to see if we liked the beers read more

My boyfriend and I came through and tried some of the the brewery drinks out here since we found it was where we were grabbing food from Smack Burger's truck. Ambiance was great - inside was spacious and clean and outside tables were well-spread out under the bright sunshine. I tried the Biggie Pops and absolutely loved the perfect mix of blueberry, banana, and vanilla - it was probably my favorite beer ever (I'm not much of a beer person either). It was so good I ordered another one and loved how fast the service was! (We ordered inside for the first round and I used the QR code at the outdoor tables for the second - drinks were brought out so fast!). I'm so excited to come back and try other drinks in the near future! read more

Humble Sea Brewing - Biggie Pops - Beer Bar Near Me - Alameda, California

We wanted to check out the brewery's newest location and have been to their Santa Cruz and Pacifica locations. The interior is small, but outdoor seating is also available. We scanned the QR code and ordered/ paid online. There was very little interaction with the employees except when one of them dropped the drinks off. He didn't seem like he wanted to make any conversation with us. My bf tried a few beers and I tried a stout. He thought they all tasted watered down, which is a bummer. He was also looking to purchase a collab beer, but apparently it was sold out within a day... They don't sell food inside, but there was a food truck. Humble Sea is close to Almanac and Faction if you want to check out other breweries in the area as well. read more

Glad I don't have to drive to Santa Cruz to visit anymore. We came here Sunday around 2:00pm and it wasn't busy at all. They have good amount of outdoor picnic tables . It's dog friendly. Not family friendly inside, but might be outside since it's bigger space. Parking is on the street and not hard to find. Pretty quiet area. Always love their foggy/hazy IPAs. Sometimes they have good imperial seltzers. The imperial coconut porter and imperial seltzer were good. Cans to-go pack was about $25. I'm sure you can bring outside food. read more

I enjoyed exploring a new area and took in my surroundings as we drove in. Beer was tasty and service was good. There was also a much needed food truck on site. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. read more

This is a nice place in a good location. The beer is tasty and the service was great. I would have given 5 stars but I have a bias. I'm one who likes trying different beers so I order flights or small pours. I realize that costs drive prices and everything is costing more these days, but I take issue with 5 oz of beer costing $4.50 plus tax plus tip. That works out to about $60.00 a gallon for the beer. I wont complain about the price of gas any more! I don't think beer should be given away but the price seemed high. The jerk chicken "burger" was like an empanada. It was very tasty, but the food options are a bit limited. In retrospect, I should have tasted a couple of the beers and settled on one and ordered a pint. Lesson learned read more

So this brewery just makes you feel light, happy, and youthful. The pastel colors, the clean white tiles, the whimsical art. It's just great. Reminds me of an ice cream shop. Or a childrens tv show. The beertenders are awesome. So firendly and able to answer all my annoying questions (shout out to Chad! You're great!) I appreciate when breweries offer a variety of sizes. I like to try everything, so 4 or 5 oz pours are perfect for me. I don't want to commit to 12 ounces if I don't like it. I had all the Foggy style beers which are the hazy IPA's. Delicious, juicy, and yes hazy. I also had the Czech Pils which was really good and a little different from the traditional. It finished a bit sweeter versus bitter. I didn't have one bad beer. I also bought some to go. I love this location. This section of Alameda is becoming quite the brewery hub (Humble Sea, Faction, The Rake, Almanac Brewing). A great day is getting a good breakfast and then brewery hop. Tons of outdoor seating in addition to indoor seating. Bathrooms were really clean. Parking was plentiful since I was there during the day on Friday. On the weekends, I recommend ride-share or biking if you can. read more

Beyond stoked to have a Humble Sea location in Alameda! Everytime I visit Santa Cruz I stop by for a 4 pack of Sock and Sandals wishing I could get this beer close to home. Wishes do come true! Humble Sea choose the best location too, the Alameda Point is quickly becoming a craft beer haven. What Humble Sea does best, in my opinion, is brewing up some unique and easy drinking IPA's. If you're anything like me and just can't get on the IPA train, you need to try these beers. Their foggy IPA (Sock and Sandals) is phenomenal but my new favorite is their collab with Admiral Malting, the English IPA (Tipsy Anchor). Welcome Humble Sea, can't wait to see what you release next! read more

Came here for a refresher after lunch at Firebrand. Beer taste great and enjoyed the vibes/decor. It looks like they do a lot of collaborations with their beers. There is food available to order from another vendor. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Nice weekend spot! read more

My favorite brewery has arrived in the east bay!!! I've been counting the days for them to open. The outdoor patio is huge and definitely their most spacious location thus far. The interior is very cute and modern. Big selection of beers and some new ones made specifically for Alameda location. Friendly staff. Beers get delivered straight to your table via QR code. Not sure if they will be adding food to their menu here. Walking distance to a few other breweries in the area too. I'll definitely be back again. read more

I was here on the 25th of October last month and no idea how to close my tab with nobody checking in on us. after me and my family left I got my bill with somebody tipping themselves at 20% out of $100.00. I tried calling right after and even sent an email. 3weeks in still no response. It is only $20.00 but it's the principle behind it and that's not right to do that when there was no service involved. I even ask the guy when he dropped off our food could I get water "ITS SELVE SERVED JUST LIKE ORDERING YOUR FOOD ONLINE AND SELF SEATING". read more

After having waited months for Humble Sea to open in Alameda, I finally heard the location was open around 4 PM today, so we had to check it out. As soon as we got there, there was a decent crowd as I'd expect given their beer is incredible. Plenty of picnic tables for everyone that wanted to join tonight, and what looks to be a food truck that was not open yet, although I'm sure I will become a regular here, so I'll have plenty of time to check it out. They had QR codes to order at the picnic tables and the service was exceptionally fast; no reason to go to the bar since the staff was so quick with the QR code orders. Also as expected, their beer was exceptional as always. Had a couple of Murky IPA's before calling it an early night. Got a couple 4-packs to bring home and will be back later this weekend! read more

A little pricey for a four pack from a brewery but it's good beer and the staff is usually really fast and helpful.

Came to check out humble sea with two friends, since it recently opened up. I was excited to try the blue beer but unfortunately they were sold out. I was a bit disappointed at the fact they did not have a tasting list or tasting tray. I ordered 4 different beers and they gave them to me in two small tasting glasses and two normal sized glasses. I asked if they had a tray or anything to carry out my glasses and they said no. It was hard carrying them outside and I ended up not even knowing what I was tasting once I sat down. I hope in the future they have something where it's easier to identify what you are tasting. Usually when you go to breweries it's not uncommon to have tasting flights. Other than that, the beer was cool. read more
