This Hella Chill Santa Cruz Brewery Just Opened on Pier 39 | Eater SF

"A laidback but winning Northern California brewery has opened on Pier 39, bringing its first San Francisco outpost from Santa Cruz. As of Friday, May 9, fans can visit the big waterfront location during limited weekend hours—Friday 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday noon to 9 p.m., and Sunday noon to 8 p.m.—and the opening has been about a year in the making. The 80-seat taproom offers the same lineup as other locations, per its website. Its awards include a gold medal at the World Beer Championships 2022 for Rejoyce Solera Saison and "Best Overall Non-Alcoholic Beer" at the World Beer Championships 2024 for its NA Hazy IPA. This first outpost in the city bodes well for a city shaken by brewery turbulence in recent year, with Anchor Brewing's coming and going the most serious amongst the roiling (though Chobani's CEO is reportedly resurrecting the brand)." - Paolo Bicchieri
