20 Great Spots for a Summer Beer in San Francisco

tina huang: LOVE the beer selection. consistently have stuff from Almanac (some of my favorite sour beers) and Russian River (blind pig IPA is my go-to) on rotation. also one of the few places w/ Pliny on tap

Kiki Jones: I love 21st!! One of my fave breweries. If you haven't tried their watermelon wheat you aren't LIVING.

Dakota Arkin: This huge loft space has 21 beers on tap and a food menu that you can’t go wrong with. It's a great working space with a pint earlier on and fun and jovial as the day turns to night.

Colin Seymour: Make all of your rounds samplers and get Rogue's full range.

Untapped Cities: Cellarmaker has no food but its beer offerings are no less interesting for it and they change all the time. Beer aficionados can order 5 oz glasses at about $2.50 a pop and sample the entire menu. Read more.

Ranu Rajkarnikar: Awesome beer selection and friendly staff. I love grabbing a cold one at this place for a catch up with friends. TV's ensure you can catch a game here too.

Lears Fool: Legit German options, and served in appropriate vessels. (The liter is just double the cost of a liter, so get 2 half liters to try something different.)

Carol Barg: Ask about the bulletholes in the bar! Those are the only shots you'll find here though! They only serve beer and ciders!

Bommy: The one event i look forward to all year: girl scout cookie beer flight. Peanut butter cream ale paired with a do-si-dos is phenomenal. Don't miss it.

Darren Quinn: Great selection of Drake's beers. Duck gravy poutine. Pizzas. Fantastic outdoor beer garden.

James Panther: I didn't know much about Anchor Brewing but the tour fixed that very quickly. Highly recommended that you take the afternoon tour so you can enjoy the tasting, but make sure you book early.

Steve H: Beer selection is quite nice. Apocalypse recommended

Christian Baker: Cozy beer spot in North Beach SF. Quality beers on tap and quality bartenders pouring them. All draft beers are $7, but the size varies on the style.

Katie Mui: Awesome selection of beer. Lots of sours. Flights only on Wednesdays.

tina huang: by far the coolest taproom concept and execution of a speakeasy-style place I've seen! bartenders have always been great, super helpful. favorites are Scarlett (Amber ale) and Metropolis (lager)

Sasha Solomon: *the* best sour beer. They have different beers all the time, you might not have the same beer twice!

Brian L: Secretly my favorite go-to bar in SF. Right combo of divey, chill, good beer selection and punk rock music. Love it.

Christian Baker: 30 taps of craft beer, and an extensive list of bottles for drink-in or take-out. Try making one a beer float and enjoy the board games in the back :)

Roshan Sadanani: Divey bar with an awesome patio out back and games indoors. Cash only. They sell pitchers of all of the numerous beers on tap.
