New S.F. beer garden opens on the waterfront
A long-awaited San Francisco beer garden is opening on the waterfront just in time for summer.
Humble Sea Brewing Co. opens its Pier 39 location on Friday, the brewery announced on Instagram. The taproom and beer garden will pour the label's IPAs, Helles and other fresh beers just steps away from the pier's lounging sea lions.
Humble Sea opened in Santa Cruz in 2015, becoming one of Northern California's most popular craft beer companies. It is best known for its 'foggy IPAs,' the company's name for hazy IPAs, and its tall cans with colorful cartoons and artwork.
Humble Sea announced the Pier 39 location last April, with original plans to open by the end of last summer.
The San Francisco taproom is the latest in Humble Sea's lineup and part of a revitalization at the waterfront entertainment center. It operates three Santa Cruz area taprooms. It expanded to Pacifica in 2021 and launched an Alameda location in 2023.
A representative for the brewery did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
