SF on Tap Tours

My boyfriend and I have gone on 2 of the 3 tours offered by SF on Tap. Safe to say, we're big fans! This review is for Haight and Fisherman's Wharf tours. Last year, we signed up for our first combo tour: Alcatraz + Haight walking tour. Due to the 2018 fires, our SF trip was severely affected, including the cancellation of the Alcatraz portion. The walking tour was still made available at our own risk given the horrible air quality, but SF on Tap staff were very flexible, refunded our Alcatraz portion, and still conducted a great walking tour led by Lina. The history we learned, the beer knowledge, and the breweries we visited was fantastic. By the end of the tour, our little group was happy, tipsy, and chatty. It was a great first experience!So this year, we went back to San Francisco and did the Alcatraz + Fisherman's Wharf walking tour. Weather was fantastic this time, and the process for getting our tickets plus the actual day of activites was seamless. Prepare for a long day of walking if you do the combo tour. Dress comfortably and wear very comfy shoes. We did the Alcatraz audio tour, which helps you cover the main portions of the site, but there is definitely more to explore, so don't anticipate being able to do it all when you have to be back on shore with time to spare for lunch plus arriving for the 2pm beer tour. So....plan your morning accordingly. After Alcatraz, we had lunch at Boudin at Pier 39 then took a 5min Lyft ride to Ghirardelli Square for the start of our Fisherman's Wharf beer tour. Our guide was Dylan. Dylan did a great job and took us on quite an adventure through Fisherman's Wharf and Little Italy area. Although the beers on this particular tour were not my favorite (except for the barley wine and sour at the end!), I appreciated deepening my knowledge of the neighborhood and of course....brewing! I also love the intimate nature of the tour, like when we get to the breweries / pubs, and there is already dedicated space for us to sit, enjoy, learn, and drink! Dylan did his best to personalize our beer options to our tastes, so that was much appreciated. At the end of the tour, Dylan provided some fantastic dinner recommendations, since the tours end by 6pm. Trust me, you will be hungry! Both Lina and Dylan provided us with memorable craft beer experiences. My boyfriend and I look forward to going 3 for 3 and doing the SoMA walking tour next year! We are true SF on Tap fans!! You won't regret booking with SF on Tap, especially if you want a personalized craft beer experience and want to learn about the city's rich history and the details of brewing.

Really a fantastic experience! Mike was our leader and it was very educational. A wide range of beers to sample and nice stroll around the greatest city on the west coast. I highly recommend this!

We did this for my birthday, and it was everything I was hoping it would be. Enqrique our guide was a total beer geek, and it was awesome to learn about the different technique for making the different brews. I certainly tried more new beer types that day than I have in my entire life!We had an awesome group of people to share the day with, from all over the country (and some overseas). The pacing worked really well; just enough walking between pubs to make room for more beer! Enrique had great stories about the history, culture, and landmarks we walked past. All the pubs we visited were clean, friendly, and full of atmosphere.My one piece of advice is to eat a good lunch beforehand, and bring really good walking shoes. You will burn a lot of energy, though thankfully we avoided most of the infamous hills.

We had an amazing time! Our little sister bought us these passes as a Christmas gift last year lol, we were reluctant to use them I guess. But, were we wrong for waiting! We should have gone during a better season because the rain got us but despite the weather it was a wonderful day!My brother and I truly enjoyed the tour! Not only are we beer drinkers, but we are locals who love the Haight and it's history. It was great to hear from such a knowledgeable tour guide, Chris was great! He knew about all the history about the beer scene and about San Francisco's Hippie Movement, we couldn't get enough information out of him! Lol.Truly recommend this to a local and for someone who has never been to San Francisco! 5 STARS! And...there is food and plenty of beer involved!

Fun afternoon with a group of friends, celebrating a birthday. I am a beer novice and by the end of the tour I learned a lot and enjoyed the many brews sampled. Adam was a good guide, friendly and passionate about the history of beer in SF.I will recommend this tour, as well as taking tours in other neighborhoods. Adam talks about beer as a social drink. This tour is a social and educational tour. Our group was big and we ran behind. The social was 5 star, the education and group size a 4 star. Enjoy! I definitely recommend this tour. Thank you Adam.

Awesome! Highly recommend. Our guide, Andrew, was prepared, professional, knowledgeable and FUN!!! We had a great group that made the experience even better! Plenty of beer and even some snacks. Great places that we would not have picked on our own and some history too.Communication before and after the tour was spot on as well!

Great tour with an awesome guide!I am a Bay Area native and booked this tour to celebrate a friends birthday - it was such a great idea and not to mention a blast!We did the Haight tour with Emily and she was fantastic. She gave us great information on all the beers we tasted and also gave us some great history on the Haight/Ashbury area as we trekked to each brewery.The walk to each brewery was pretty cool, I enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods and seeing places I wouldn't have discovered otherwise.Also, I WAS a Belgium beer kinda girl, but now thanks to SF On Tap, I have discovered other types of beers that I really enjoyed and would definitely order.They have more tours available in other popular neighborhoods and I can't wait to check those out!

Mike is an absolute boss. This man knows his beers. Good energy and attitude- highly recommend as a tour guide! He made the day very enjoyable and relaxing. P.S. we had a hoppin' time.

Planned an 11 person private bachelor party on 8/23/15. Leading up to the event, I had a lot of useful reminders and Adam was really great about connecting to make sure we were all set and ready to go.WE HAD A BLAST!!! Everyone in the group really enjoyed all the info from Reagan and Adam and the brew masters/founders at the other locations. Adam chose some TASTY beers for us and we really enjoyed all of it! He's a great person to just chat with! Would definitely do this again anytime there is a good excuse to celebrate or just because!!!**Local Brewery Co was our FAVE!!Thanks again Adam!!!

Adam led a tour of 12 of us throughout the Haight Ashbury district to learn about some awesome brews and craft cocktails.As a local resident of SF, I can confidently recommend this tour to visitors or SF locals interested in the local brew culture.
