    West coast local beer selection
    Nicole B.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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!

    Came on a friday late afternoon! They have a good amount of beer selection. We got one a socks & sandals hazy ipa. The view on the outside patio is nice - you get a view of the the boats stationed on the water. they dont sell food but plenty of food options around. they also connect with one of the neighboring restaurants- u can scab their menu & they'll bring u food to the brewery.

    New Tap House outpost on Pier 39! Definitely worth a visit. This outpost stands apart from all the traditional tourist spots on Pier 39! We enjoyed their beautiful outdoor seating with harbor and city views and enjoyed their IPA sampler - $8 pours for $42! Great way to try all their IPAs! Service is fast and friendly - you order at the bat and grab your own table! They don't have food but there are QR codes on the table to order from the nearby Taco Cantina!! We were happy with their IPAs!!

    Cute little taproom with more seats on the patio outside. You can order food to your table from the taco place next door. Good variety of beer! Bartender was friendly.

Their beer is excellent, and I've heard nothing but great things about the place and people. We visited on a Sunday and met friends, who said it took a while to get a big table for us; it was surprisingly packed! It's a large industrial brewery, with the equipment chained off at the back. They make great use of the rest of the building with large tables, small tables, bar seating/standing room, plus an arcade area, outside seating area, and a few cozy living room style areas with stuffed furniture at the back. To the right on entry is the canned beer for takeout, to the left is their large bar and impressive tap list. We mostly get IPAs, so it was fun to try their other styles like rice lagers and a barleywine, everything was excellent. Their flights are huge, basically half size goblet pours in a six rack. Prices are reasonable for the well developed beer. They also had a food vendor outside, which we loved (see separate review). It's great to see a place equally rock great beer and a fun experience, I definitely look forward to returning sometime soon.

However, the…read moreexperience falls short on value, quality, and atmosphere. $13.50 for a pour is steep, especially when served half-full in a small glass. The stout was, to be polite, thin in texture. The aromas were present, but I winced with each taste of the lukewarm, harshly burnt flavor of acid. It didn't get better with each sip. For a moderately quiet Friday, I had to shout to people next to me due to the acoustics of the space. If you prefer traditional, additive-free brewing and full pints, there are far better options.

    After visiting a couple of art galleries in San Francisco on Saturday, January 11, 2025, I…read moreconvinced DJ that we should dine out in the city since we were already out. Remembering that he had been wanting to check out 21st Amendment for some years now, I suggested that we go here. DJ was immediately sold. After calling two to three times to no avail, we temporarily parked nearby, so that DJ could walk in to check if they were still open and serving dinner. Thankfully, they were open, but they didn't hear the phone ring. We reparked, then arrived shortly before 7:30 PM and were seated immediately. I had been at 21st Amendment before for a very enjoyable lunch with some colleagues back in November, 2019 and the place looked exactly how I remembered it. Venue: 4 stars. With concrete floors and walls with wooden tables and chairs & benches, the restaurant has a rustic and industrial air. Upon entry, patrons are greeted by the bar with seating and its attendants. They have an open kitchen from where the cooks can nod greetings to you. The entire space, including the women's restroom is kept clean & tidy. DJ's only complaint was that he did not enjoy some of the techno music that would play in between the salsa and reggaeton songs both of which I was totally digging. Food: 3 stars. In addition to the TALL HAT that DJ ordered and fully enjoyed, below-listed are the food items that we had. Soup of the Day, Gumbo ($7 cup) - I was given a couple of complimentary slices of toasted bread to accompany my New Orleans stew which were nice to dip in the broth and eat. I'm not quite sure what kind of meat was used, but there was no sausage. 21st Amendment's version of gumbo is more like a soup rather than a stew as the broth was not as thick as usual. The flavour was still good, but I did wish that there was okra. When I was at the bottom of the cup and asked how I liked the gumbo, I commented that I enjoyed it, but was surprised that it was completely absent of rice. Our server, Luis, went back to the kitchen to inquire, returned, informing me that the kitchen admitted to forgetting it, so with a new cup including rice in hand, he served the second serving to me and comped the cup from our bill. Wow, I was very impressed by how the matter was handled. Veggie Burger ($16) with Garlic Fries ($2) - DJ said that the sriracha flavour of the aioli was light/faint. He would have preferred a little more punch of spice from the condiment. The garlic fries were not bad. Baja Fish Tacos with mixed greens ($19) - The two tacos were very generous in portions and the fish were perfectly fried golden. I found the cod to be fishy in taste, so I gave my second taco to DJ. He did not notice any fishy flavour which is very interesting because he is a vegetarian and I expected him to notice it much more than I did. Weird. Meat Lover's PIZZA ($20) - We ordered two of these twelve inch pies for to-go for the boys. Both said that they were good. Service: 5 stars. As I mentioned before, Luis was our waiter and he delivered stellar service. As a former server, myself, I noticed immediately the excellent care we were given by him. The entire night, I kept commenting to DJ on every moment that Luis demonstrated his top-notch customer service. We will definitely need to come back...when Luis is working!

It's a cozy little brewery with a menu full of tempting options- apps, burgers, pizza, and tacos. I went with the meat lover's pizza and a hazy IPA, and both were excellent. When I asked the beertender for his favorite, he recommended the blood orange IPA, which did not disappoint. My only gripe? I wish the atmosphere had been a bit more friendly and chatty, especially since it wasn't very busy.
