“Humble Sea Brewing Co. absolutely lived up to the hype. The bartender took the time to pour us a few samples until we found the perfect fit, and that kind of hospitality immediately sets the tone. The winner for me was Slipknautical, their hazy IPA. If you’re a hop fan, don’t miss it. The Citra hops absolutely shine, bringing bright citrus with a soft, juicy finish that convinced me to order a full pint. As good as the hazy IPA was, the biggest surprise came from a 5-ounce taster of Kookie Nightcap. This 13% bourbon barrel-aged stout is brewed with Oreos, marshmallows, vanilla, and coffee, and somehow every flavor works together without becoming overly sweet. I’ve enjoyed a lot of barrel-aged dark beers over the years, and this was hands down the best I’ve ever had. They absolutely got this one right. The setting doesn’t hurt either. Grab a seat at the bar overlooking the marina or outside on the waterfront, then order tacos from next door and they’ll bring them right to your table. Great beer, incredible views, and tacos? That’s a winning combination. I don’t usually include photos of brewery merch in my reviews, but even there they nailed it. The shirts and designs are every bit as creative as the beer. Pro tip: Beer fans, don’t pass this place up. Outstanding service, phenomenal beer, a beautiful waterfront setting, and a relaxed atmosphere make Humble Sea an easy recommendation. You earned a new fan, and I’ll be back every time I’m in San Francisco.”
