Transit agency collaborates with Humble Sea Brewing Co. and The Far West Cider Co. to offer exclusive ferry-themed craft beverages
SAN FRANCISCO – October 7, 2025 — San Francisco Bay Ferry today announced the return of its popular Brews with Views program, now in its third season, with an all-new lineup featuring exclusive offerings from two celebrated Bay Area craft makers. Beginning Tuesday, October 7, riders can enjoy limited-edition ferry-themed beverages aboard every SF Bay Ferry trip, just in time for Fleet Week.
This year’s Brews with Views lineup includes:
- Hull Yeah!, a Foggy IPA from Humble Sea Brewing Co., which has tasting rooms near the Alameda Seaplane Lagoon Terminal and Downtown San Francisco Ferry Terminal. Double dry-hopped with Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic, it’s juicy, aromatic, and anything but ordinary.
- Personal Fruitation Device Cider, a Brazilian pink guava hard cider from The Far West Cider Co., made with fruit grown and harvested on their fourth-generation family farm in San Joaquin County. It’s fermented, cellared, and bottled just across the Bay in Richmond – minutes from the Richmond Ferry Terminal.
To celebrate the launch, both participating breweries will be giving away one-way free ferry ride vouchers while supplies last. Ferry fans can claim their vouchers at Humble Sea Brewing Co.’s Pier 39 and Alameda tasting rooms or visit The Far West Cider Co. at the Ferry Building Farmers Market to grab theirs.
Both beverages will be available on board while supplies last.
“Brews with Views has become a rider favorite, and we’re thrilled to bring it back for a third season with two fantastic local partners,” said Seamus Murphy, Executive Director of SF Bay Ferry. “Pairing ferry rides with Bay Area craft beverages is a fun and flavorful way to celebrate our region, support local makers and give our riders a one-of-a-kind experience.”
Launched in 2021 to celebrate the return of ferry service, Brews with Views has grown into a signature SF Bay Ferry program, bringing together Bay Area pride, craft beer culture, and the joy of water transit. Each year features new collaborations withlocal producers located near ferry terminals, showcasing the communities SF Bay Ferry serves.
“There’s no better time to kick off the new season of Brews with Views than Fleet Week. We invite our riders to grab a cold one, take in the air shows and enjoy the best views in the Bay,” said Murphy.
