Brews on the Bay returns to the SS Jeremiah O’Brien on Saturday, September 17 for its 13th year on this storied World War II merchant marine ship docked at Pier 45—and this year, more San Francisco breweries than ever will be participating. Produced by the San Francisco Brewers Guild, this event is one of the Bay Area’s most intimate beer festivals, one that the brewers themselves look forward to.
“Imagine staring at sailboats floating past Alcatraz while tasting beer from dozens of San Francisco breweries, including both veterans and newcomers to the craft beer market,” said David “Zambo” Zamborski, director of brewing at Speakeasy Ales & Lagers. “To drink locally hand-crafted ales and lagers aboard a historic American ship, floating on one of the most famous bays in the world—who wouldn’t want to do that?”
Brewers will be out in force, serving unlimited pours of their latest and greatest IPAs, farmhouse ales, session beers, barrel-aged sours, imperial stouts and many other beer styles.
