My friend and I stopped for a quick lunch and to relax out of the car for a bit. There were a few people ordering when we arrived, but still no one was asking if we needed anything. When a young man did ask if...we wanted anything, it was as if we were taking too much of his time! No explanation was given of how the order process there worked. We ordered beers and empanadas. My friend ordered a Pilsner. When I went back to pick up the food it was sitting out in the middle of the bar. The staff person I ordered from just went about doing other things, No interaction with me whatsoever. I guess he was doing me a huge favor to allow me to pay for the crappy, warmed in a microwave, tiny empanada. I felt because my friend and I were older, we were passed off as bothersome tourist. Not to worry, we will not bother with this place or it’s products again. Also, my friend’s beer was an IPA instead of Pilsner. KathyMore

An amazing brewery! Nice outdoor spaces with heaters on some tables. The beer was top notch! The food truck was great too!

We went fo a beer after a hike with a group of friends, great beers and nice outdoor area. They had run out of pizza and only had empanadas- which were good, but at $5/each for tiny one is not a good deal!

This is an amazing team of people with great food, innovative beers, and a focus on collaborating and giving back to the ocean and to the local community. They have some of the friendliest (and fastest) service in town, and they've created a truly "Santa...Cruz" experience just a few blocks from some of the best surfing in California. Humble Sea is the real deal, and I'm proud to support this local business whenever I get the chance!More

I am a West Coast IPA fan, not a hazy ("foggy") East Coast IPA fan, this is not the brewery for me. Friends who like hazy IPAs like these beers, so it is recommended. The staff was friendly and helpful. There is another brewery down...the street, so you can try two local spots with one Uber ride. Very dog-friendly!More

Cozy little brewery near the coast. Mostly outdoor seating which was super comfortable and you can get to know the other patrons. The rotation is small so recommend getting a tasting flight before locking in a selection. My wife like the nitro stout as well.

This was a fortuitous discovery. We weren’t looking for this place, but as luck would have it, we passed by as we tried to join PCH heading north. My daughter kindly let me stop in and I had a couple of tasters. Nice place inside...and out. Would absolutely stay for much longer next time, as the beers were great.More

Visited here on a mini tap house/brewery tour (Humble Sea, Santa Cruz Mountain, and West End Tap). They had the best beer of all 3. The Meet the Foggers is one of the top 3 IPA's I've ever had. The 2nd IPA we tried was...also very very tasty. Their Reuben sandwich was fantastic. If Trip Advisor allowed half scores though I'd actually give them a 4.5. The only negative (or suggestion I guess) is they need a better selection of non-alcoholic beverages for the DD's. Go to Costco and buy a couple cases of coke and diet coke in cans to sell to the drivers.More

I stopped by after a MTB ride with a friend. Beer was great and they had a food truck out back dishing out wraps and chicken feet. The shrimp wrap was delicious.

This place has some really good beer. They have an extensive selection. There are plenty of IPAs. Our favorite was the Late Nite Dip. Everyone was very friendly. Definitely worth a visit.

Neat atmos, chill crowd, elegant but hip scene. Love the socks and sandals brew. Best beer I’ve tasted to be honest. This place just gets better as we the sun slips down, and the lights, languidly string from olive branch to olive branch overhead, begin...to twinkle and glow.More
