Humble Sea Brewing

Humble Sea Brewing is a delightful spot that offers a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere. Located in a hangar converted into an apartment complex, the space is bright and modern, featuring unique art pieces, including a creative display of themed socks that add a playful touch. There's plenty of seating available, both indoors and outdoors, making it a great choice for gatherings or a casual visit with kids.The beer selection is excellent. I tried the "Feel Good," a dark lager, and the "Sea Thru" IPA, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The brewery hosts trivia nights, adding an element of fun, and they have beers to go as well as branded merchandise available for purchase.Service here is kind and efficient, and the place is spotless, reflecting their attention to detail. Parking is abundant, making it a hassle-free visit. Overall, it's a vibrant and enjoyable spot that's perfect for beer enthusiasts and families alike.

This review is long overdue. I'm glad that they opened here in Alameda. I would much rather grab a beer here than at Faction or Alamanc. The decor is similar to the other locations, with inside and outside seating. All locations also sell merch (but if you're looking for lots of merch Pacifica location has an actual mini store attached to the breweI've been to Santa Cruz and Pacifica location a few times. I feel like other locations the staff are more friendly, more eager to make conversations and anticipated the need to offer a sample of a beer when you're trying to decide what to order. And to be honest, now that it's so close to home, we rarely stay. We just go in to grab a couple 4-packs and make our way.

This is located on Alameda Point in the Spirits Alley area. It is next to other businesses, apartments and the new restaurant Saltbreaker. I wanted to try this place out since I went to their location before in Santa Cruz.The aesthetic is so California, I love it. They sell merch on site and the designs are cool! The beer is pretty good. Socks & Sandals is my fave and some of their IPAs are refreshing. They have food trucks that come sometimes to sell food. I think they aim to always have one on site, but I've been a couple times where there has been a problem with food trucks not showing up. But really, the vibe is just not it. The staff is nice (never have had a problem or seen one), but it is SO quiet in there every time I go. There isn't music playing and if there is, it's VERY VERY low. There are no TVs, which sucks because it would be cool to have another brewery on the island with a TV besides Almanac. It feels like I can hear everyone's conversation that is next to me. The place is packed when there are events happening, but that's about it. There are seating options inside and outside. Outside, the picnic tables have umbrellas, which is nice for days that you don't want the sun to beat you down. Overall, I want to like this place, I REALLY REALLY do, but it's just "meh" to me. Now maybe if they would up that music, get a TV or 2 and more family friendly things, it may be pretttty cool.

Pet friendly: YES!

I love Humble Sea Brewing in Alameda! Sarah is always friendly and accommodating to everyone that comes in! The beer is the best and my favorite spot, mainly because of the comraderie of the staff that works there! Keep being the best Sarah and keep it pouring! Looking forward to my next visit!

We stopped by on a Sunday because we were following the SmackBurger truck but were pleasantly surprised by Humble Sea! The space is very nice with a huge outdoor section with string lights and tons of tables and a nice little dog area. The beers themselves are high quality. I'm a big sour beer guy and they didn't have any fruited sours but they did have their Shoalmates. Its good, very good. Seriously, I wish I picked some up but will have to go back and get more!

Humble Sea as a brewery gets 5/5. We love their Santa Cruz and Pacifica locations. This location not as much, which is a shame because it is the closest location to home. Staff wasn't very friendly or interested in helping on a slow Tuesday afternoon. We sat at the bar and both staff members just stood at the end of the bar by the "Order Here" sign. They asked us "Are you sitting at the bar?" We said yes, then they both ignored us looking the opposite direction until we said "Excuse me..." to ask questions about the beer. I understand QR codes and not having table service but if you're sitting at the bar they should still take your order right? Weird first encounter but whatever, we didn't have a chance to try their food truck but really appreciate that they have food options available everyday. This location obviously is not on a beach like others but still feels like it's greatly missing the beach feel all Humble Sea locations have. Maybe some more fun wall art would help the decor/vibes? It's just missing something. We'll probably be back to visit again, but we won't rush back. After visiting Almanac and Admiral Malting's on the same day it was disappointing to see such unenthusiastic staff at such a cool brewery..

This brewery has been on my list to visit. I was hoping to come with my daughter, but my buddy beat her to it.Quality/Quantity - Socks & Sandals - IPA, my buddy said that it was cool and crisp and too easy to drink.So Far So Gud - Marzen, my beer. Good coloring and flavor.Light snacks are also available.Food truck outside, but it was closed when we got here.Atmosphere - Cool clean crispy decor, including the bathrooms, see pictures.To-go can options, see picture for the menu and options.Plenty of street parking, as you can NOT park in the lot, see pictures of all the warnings.Open 7 days a week, see my picture or Yelp for specific hours.Trivia Wednesdays.Cool small dog park.Available for rent for private events.Service - The one employee must have had a VERY long day. Shared that it was our first time here and asked for recommendations.Well with the music blaring so loud, we could barely hear him and we felt he was mumbling. So I decided to ask for a sample which he reluctantly gave me.QR code ordering available on the tables, maybe we should have gone that route?Well, of course I plan to give them another chance as the beer was good and I want to bring my daughter here also.Price - $7 to $8 a pint. See pictures of the menu for all pricing.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2015 with your 4 locations. I'm surprised that I have not been to your Santa Cruz or Pacifica locations, or have I???

Came here on Sunday afternoon for some brews and some smashburgers. We ordered from the food truck first than we went inside to order two flights of beers. The guy helping me out was very nice and informative. We wanted to try both the west coast beers and the hazy ipas. This place is much quieter than Faction or Almanac. They have seating inside and outside as well. Staff here is always nice and friendly and checking up on us to see if we liked the beers

I was estactic to learn Humble Sea would be opening in Alameda. I absolutely love their Super Pops series and have even driven to Pacifica for pick up. Having them 15 miles from home without paying toll for a bridge is awesome. I've definitely had some awesome beers over the years from Humble Sea, frequently picking up 4 packs and singles from local bottle shops. But there definitely is something special about going to the source, having a few tasters, and bringing home some brews.I came out for the Tropical Blue Super Pops shortly after it dropped, but missing the four packs. It was awesome to sit outside and soak up the sun. I made the Party Mermaid drop and that was super delicious. The Surfsquatch was also very good. If sour/smoothies aren't your thing, their Socks and Sandals series never disappoints. Their triple and quadruple hazies are JUICY. Their lagers are crisp, light and flavorful. There's beers for everyone here. Tacos El Ultimo Baile has been here on Saturdays, get the brisket tacos, and thank me later.

Our trip to Humble Sea Brewing Company was a mix of good and not-so-great moments. The brewery has a bunch of interesting craft beers to choose from, but we hit a bump with the service.We started off by using their QR code to check out the beer menu, and we were pretty excited for our first sips. But, after waiting for 10-15 minutes, our beers were still MIA. Turns out, our order got overlooked, and it happened twice. We think the staff could be a bit more on the ball with orders.Now, onto the beers. "Socks & Sandals" was a standout with its fruity and vibrant vibe--smelled like oranges and tasted like a tropical mix of pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon lime. "Alameda Island Vacation" had this unique double decocted Tmavé Pivo thing going on, and "Starfish Swish" was crisp and refreshing with hints of jasmine, lemon zest, and chamomile.Despite the service blip, Humble Sea Brewing Company has some cool and bold beer flavors. If they tighten up their service game, they could really shine in the craft beer scene.
