“We stopped in for a beer on our honeymoon and loved the upstairs area to play some fun games and sand shuffle board! The beers were delicious and they had great service. It was a warm day and the airflow wasn’t great upstairs or down so that’s the only negative but we’ll definitely be back for more beers!“

“Chill Friday with great staff and patrons. I love a Pilsner on a warmer day and they had five on tap!! I was hella excited because it’s rare for a brewery to have so many pilsners on tap. Really great options all around. Dana was very warm and welcoming.“

“Wynn Whisenhunt created a beautiful brewery with relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Go enjoy time with friends and family while enjoying really good beer. Prost! 🍻“

“Hands down the best spot to have a beer and talk with friends, neighbors, or strangers. It's not a large space, but always manages to have enough room to be more than comfortable. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a clean, minimalist look. The beer is stellar, and they always keep variety on tap. Hoi has become an anchor for the neighborhood.“

“I love this place and their beer! I first had one at Alvarado Street Brew in Monterey, CA. They’ve got great sours and fruit forward IPAs for me and beer that tastes like beer for my BF. I wish they had more seating but that’s not a reason to rate below 5 starts. Maybe they will open a bigger location in Alameda or Oakland ?? DOG FRIENDLY“

“Fantastic beverages and food. Easy in and out. Great service!“

“We held an event here and it was a blast. We rented out part of the space. Purchased all drinks there but brought in our own food (however we heard the food there is tasty was well). Working with Sarah on the planning was a breeze. We had 40ish adults ranging up in age through their 80s + and about 7 kids. Everyone enjoyed the space, it's fun and there are activities (darts, pool, hoping on the busses) and space to sit and have quality time to visit. Karlisle was kind, accommodating, welcoming and such a treat to meet- a fantastic bartender. The beers are great, with a wide selection so everyone had something they liked. Wine drinkers were happy with the selection as well.

I highly recommend having an event here or just stopping by for good beer and tasty food.“

“I had an amazing time visiting Fort Point Beer Company for a BBQ party, where we also got a behind-the-scenes look at their brewery. The location is truly special—tucked away in the Presidio with views of the Golden Gate Bridge, which looked stunning with the fog rolling in, adding to the vibe. It's a bit out of the way but absolutely worth the visit!

As for the beer, it was top-notch. We enjoyed a selection that included their KSA Kölsch, which was light, crisp, and easy to drink, perfect for a sunny BBQ. Another standout was the Villager IPA, a San Francisco-style IPA with a refreshing balance of hops and tropical fruit flavors. For something more unique, the Westfalia, a Nuremberg-inspired red ale, offered a smooth, malty profile that paired well with the BBQ fare.

Overall, Fort Point combines great beer with a stunning location, making it an ideal spot for both locals and visitors looking to experience San Francisco’s craft beer scene.“

“The best beer ever and the best staff ever and super cute and I just love this place so much and everyone should go here right now.“

“The Pilsner is one of the best beers around, it's really good, I miss the bottles, on cans I feel the taste a little different, the others Northern Larger and IPA is ok but not like the pils, the brisket sandwich was ok, bread was not fresh and dry, brisket was good! The staff special in the bar wasn't that friendly, in general is ok, my 5 stars go to the Trumer Pils, really delicious!“

“Decent beer and welcoming company.“

“Do make sure make a reservation before you go and credit card only if you like to purchase anything after your testing!

We have Eugene as our guide/host. He is wonderful, very knowledgeable about the products and the making of the sake.

We sampled more than ten different Daijinjo, Junmai and Kinpaku. But my favorite is still the Daijinjo!

Everyone here is very nice and friendly. Miss Hope Cooc is very nice and helpful with our order. We love to continue to coming back here to fix our Sake withdrawal.“

“Had a couple of beers here and some food. Ordered at the bar and went outside for food. Food arrived quickly but the fish was not very hot considering it was freshly deep fried. Chips mediocre. Service once food ordered non existent for me. No server checked on food during eating. Wasn’t very busy during visit. Nice outdoor area.“

“So I had my first taste at two pitchers brewing company on my way home from my bachelor party. I sat at a long table with my four brothers and my father, and we ordered six blood orange radlers not truly knowing what that was. It immediately became one of our favorites. And a tradition of mine. Every year for my anniversary, I make sure I have two six packs of blood orange radlers with me on my anniversary. My wife and I both very much so enjoy them and I very much so enjoy reminiscing of that lunch with my brothers and my father. So thank you for making such an amazing drink. And cheers to many more years of tradition.“
