Arrived right when they open, perfect location to stop at when you're on the pier! Had an appetizer and it tasted great. The beers were good and the bartender was knowledgeable on explaining the beers they had on tap.

West coast local beer selection

After a tough day that resulted in a 12 hour layover, decided to explore pier 39 and stopped in Humble Sea. Beer selection with the scenery of the ocean uplifted my spirits, but ultimately just a friendly server, Jay, made my whole day. What was a nice touch was after introducing myself and returning for a refill, Jay remembered my name which made me smile. If you are bopping around pier 39 definitely stop in Humble Sea before you leave, would highly recommend getting there earlier if you plan to sit on the patio. The views are so great it will fill up fast and there is very limited seating inside.

We stumbled upon Humble Sea Brewing Co. tucked away near the double-decker carousel at Pier 39, and it was a fun little hidden gem! The outdoor deck overlooks the marina, so you get a great view of the boats along with a nice cool breeze, definitely the highlight of the visit. They don't serve food, but you can order from the nearby Taco Cantina, and they'll deliver it right to your table. My sister and her boyfriend each tried a couple of beers and really enjoyed them. Ordering was done through a QR code, and the service was surprisingly quick and easy. Now, if you're like me and NOT a beer drinker, there really isn't much to choose from, so keep that in mind before stopping by. One last thing... the food prices around Pier 39 are NUTS! So, if you're planning to eat, either be prepared for the tourist pricing or grab a bite before you get there. Overall, if you're in the area and enjoy craft beer, I'd definitely recommend checking it out for the views, atmosphere, and brews!

After we completed 10k steps we decided to reward ourselves with their socks & sandals foggy IPA. Perfect while people watching and taking in the bay.

This place has a great vibe. I was there on a borderline record-hot day in July. It was close to 85 degrees and sunny and warm. Rare for the bay this time of year. It was so warm, in fact, that I had to sit in the shade! Decent selection of beers though not overly extensive. West coast IPA is my go-to and they had one, a good one no doubt. Great place to people watch and sip some suds on a sunny day!

Stopped by here for a cold one. I decided on thr Kooks layer amber layer. It was very good. Reminded me of a New Castle. We also had a great view of the bay. It was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend.

Fantastic and iconic location in the most tourist trap of all, San Francisco has this magical touch easily convincing us all that twenty bucks is normal for an omelet! Twenty bucks is normal for a four back of beer. This place is saturated in that oblivious bliss. I really wanted to grab the limited edition marshmallow stout then was told it's fifty bucks! Zounds! Wild to think someone will chance that without being able to taste it yet psychology tells us we will pretend something taste goods with a big price. I asked so many questions with the polite staff on a rainy empty Monday that I figured I better get a lager. It was fine, Aldi has better four packs for eight bucks yet yes without this ambient ocean vibe! For the pier life this is sure a catch.

This brewery was so good we came here every day except one on our vacation. The only reason we didn't make it that one day was because we were out of the area, otherwise it would be every day of our vacation. The outside seating area is perfect. There's plenty of shaded spots and sun spots depending on where you like to sit. Every beer we tried was so good! The employees were always friendly and helpful. I wish I could get this beer in NY because the socks and sandals hazy was sooo good! My only regret is not buying more merch! A must stop spot if you like great beer and good vibes!

Look gud
Karen R.

I've been to other locations of theirs. It's always a relaxed setting with great beer. It was such a beautiful day. You decided to go down to the wharf. Sit under the sunny skies. Watch the boats grab a beer.

Very nice addition to Pier 39! Wish this was around while l lived in the city, but I'm glad to have chanced upon this taproom today. This location doesn't exactly have the best view unless you're into docked boats lol. Anyway, I their Life Finds A Wave - definitely not the typical stouts I've tried. Excited to try their other drinks on tap next time! Wish the food options are a bit better. This location partnered up with Taco Cantina. It's very expensive .

We arrived in San Francisco and Pier 39 was one of our first stops. It was right before lunch and we were walking down the pier deciding where we wanted to have lunch but also wanted a quick drink as we were coming from the East Coast so it was a long flight. We came upon humble sea brewing. When you walk in you see a great view of the bay and we were greeted very promptly. The gentleman behind the bar did a great job of explaining the different types of brews and what would be the most economic option for us. We ended up getting a four pack of their lager. It was crisp, cold, and refreshing just what we needed. It was a great stop, and I would definitely try more of their brews if I come across them.

We were playing tourist and we stumbled upon this place. It's about halfway down on Pier 39 and has a great outdoor deck to enjoy your beer and the scenery of the boats docked in the bay. Also, it's great to hang out here and people watch since there are so many tourists that flow through Pier 39. I say pop in and check it out!

Howard B.

The location of Humble Sea is incredible as you stare out the windows and into the marina, almost giving the sensation that your are drinking beer on a sailboat. This would be a great place to spend a few hours with friends, soaking up the cool vibes and enjoying tasty brews and good people. The service is also exceptional and my beers seemed to refill as soon as my glass was empty! The beers were pretty good; I'm not going to lie that there may be some better prospects in Oakland (nope, I'm not from Oakland) but if you find yourself in need of good craft beer while you are around pier 39, Humble Sea is a great choice!

Best part about here is not just the…read morebeer selection but also you can order pizza from them or you are allowed to bring outside food. That is ultimately what I did. I went to a spot nearby and grab some food before heading my way up. You can gain access to this rooftop/State Park using the escalators that are within the sales tower building. The spot itself had a nice variety of beers to choose from. I ultimately went with their flight. That's five 5 oz pours for $25. Pretty much all that are available on the list can be selected minus the wine. I really enjoyed the jalapeño one I got.

Though the schedule seems a bit ad hoc since I've heard "the pizza guy got here late" (when I arrived at noon) and "the pizza guy might be going on break" (when I arrived at 2pm.) I think the beer people should be cross-trained on pizza, to avoid these situations. Cheese Pizza: A classic and a great benchmark pizza to establish their base quality. Love how the edges have crispy cheese, down the side and up above the pizza. The rest of the pizza is no slouch with lots of gooey cheese on top. Plus the generous sauce trenches on top give it some nice moisture. Buffalo Chicken Pizza: Not terribly traditional, but amazing flavors. Chicken chunks, lots of hot sauce, some cooling bleu cheese (on top of the regular cheese). Red onions and scallions for a zing. A great collab between Detroit and Buffalo. Bacon Me Crazy Pizza: The bacon drew me in, but the big mounds of ricotta won me over. Definitely the richest and more filling pizza I had here. A tad messy though, since the mound of cheese gets all over your lips and gives you a cheesy mustache.

Also had the Fog City IPA to complete my flight. The Ghirardelli stout had a rim of chocolate sauce. Incredible beer but after also having a Sundae next door, a bit too much. I would've preferred having this beer over the Sundae but I'll know better in the future. Service was helpful and my flight was poured quickly. Win win!

San Francisco has lots of places to drink and eat with the name San Francisco in its name sake…read more There are plenty of businesses which take pride in the name of the city of San Francisco. The one things that come to mind when you see a San Francisco in front of their organization is the San Francisco Giants which are still in San Francisco. Then their businesses which have San Francisco in their name and are located over 30 miles away like the San Francisco Premium Outlets which are in Livermore not in SF. Now with Football season in full swing there is a place where College Football fans from around the country and NFL fans when they visit San Francisco and you will also find local 49ers fans and it's called the San Francisco Brewing Company. One the last weekend of the Summer stroll with a little sunshine before the Fall I landed at Ghirardelli Square at San Francisco Brewing Company. This place is a tourist trap but makes an interesting fan base dynamic when you will find that Miami Dolphin fan lingering around or that Dodger fan hiding in public sight at this bar. You will also run to people who actually went to the College Football school playing on the screen from somewhere in the Midwest and South. They also celebrated Oktoberfest recently with live music. I got the chicken wings and legs which came naked and had to dress it with buffalo sauce. I then got the fish and chips which were fresh and a bit crispy which were beer battered and tasty. I then took flight and got a flight of beer which was refreshing. They also have another San Francisco Brewing Company location in Mission Bay. Come here a weekend and "happy hour "where people are planted by the bar like a "flower" drinking beer which are some in SF which are "sour"and they have the bowl here which has "roasted cauliflower" Come to San Francisco Ghirardelli Square where people from around the world " gather"to watch a sports to watch football, basketball, and the "baseball batter" and get a fish and chips "platter"were the fish is covered in "beer batter"

Perhaps they enforce more strictly for dinner? We shared the traditional salad, French dip, cheeseburger, and key lime pie. Salad was pretty good, we enjoyed the mustard-honey dressing.
