San Francisco City Beer Tour

The picturesque city of San Francisco has a rich history in the American craft beer movement. San Francisco was home to California’s first brewery and quickly became a mecca for great beer. Beer icons like Fritz Maytag fueled the craft beer revolution when he purchased Anchor Brewing Co. and started brewing high quality craft beer.

Come hop on our bus and experience the San Francisco craft beer movement with us. We'll show you some of the best breweries in San Francisco. We’ve crafted a special brewery bus tour that visits two breweries, some of which may include: Thirsty Bear, Magnolia Pub and Brewery, Speakeasy Ales and Lagers, Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant, and Social Kitchen & Brewery. Note: Due to San Francisco's weekend event schedule, we cannot guarantee specific breweries for the tour. The tour includes round-trip transportation in a comfy bus, beer samples at each brewery (plus - we do a very fun blind-tasting of a surprise brewery on the bus), a behind-the-scenes brewery tour not offered to the general public, two specialized (and ridiculously fun!) tour guides, and a fun experience you won’t forget!

  • Tour Dates: Typically the last Saturday of every month. Check out below for exact dates.
  • Time: 1 p.m. (4 hour tour length)
  • Pickup: Downtown San Francisco at the Civic Center (right next to the SF Public Library at 100 Larkin St.)

After picking you up near the Civic Center in San Francisco, we’ll embark on a unique beer journey that’ll show you parts of the city not shown on other tours. At our first brewery, you’ll learn to taste beer like a pro with our short and fun tasting demo. From there you’ll partake in a blind beer tasting from a surprise brewery where you'll only have your senses to guess the style and brand of beer. We'll then travel to one more brewery for more beer tasting. Trivia, entertaining San Francisco history, and fun beer-themed music will also entertain you between stops.

Are you a local? Sick of going to Alcatraz and taking cheesy duck tours when you have visitors in town? This tour is a must for both visitors and locals alike as it is the best way to experience the amazing beer San Francisco has to offer.
