Craft Beer Bars and Breweries on the SF Peninsula

88 places in 15 towns

These places pour craft beer, from local breweries with their own taprooms to pizza spots and pubs with a long list of rotating taps. San Mateo and San Carlos have the most, and Half Moon Bay has a few good stops after a day on the coast. Tap lists change often, so check what is pouring before you go if you have a favorite style.
