D O U B L E C A N R E L E A S E PRESALE ONLINE—May 22 at noon TAPROOM RELEASE—May 24 at noon CAN 2: Tiki Decor Pineapple Milkshake DIPA (8.1%) with Citra, Mosaic, & El Dorado The latest fruit-forward, tropical, creamy dream 🍨 in our ongoing Tiki Decor series. This is not your standard Foggy DIPA! It’s generously dry-hopped with tropical fruit bombs 💣 Citra, Mosaic, & El Dorado. We dump a whole bunch of vanilla in and aren’t shy about that magical milk sugar dust either. The rotating fruit this time is pineapple 🍍 and the result is some juicy, creamy, decadent deliciousness that makes it hard to remember that this guy weighs in at over 8% ABV.

D O U B L E C A N R E L E A S E PRESALE ONLINE—May 22 at noon TAPROOM RELEASE—May 24 at noon CAN 1: Gnar-Whal Foggy IPA (7.4%) with Nelson, Motueka, Wakatu, & Moutere Inspired by the legendary narwhal, or unicorn of the sea, this beer boasts a powerhouse of New Zealand’s finest aromatic hops infused with 100% gnar-ness. One of our finest foggies, Gnar-Whal is an unreal juxtaposition of beautiful and bold just like the creature who inspired it. A sticky, dank nose balanced with creamsicle and tropical fruits. A big citrus mouth that softens out with a hint of cream soda. And a pillowy mouthfeel that finishes with just the right touch of pithy goodness to dry it all out and prepare your palette for another sip. Reserve: Gnar-whal.eventbrite.com CAN 2 Details Tomorrow. Hint hint: It’s part of our Tiki Series. . . . . #craftbeer #californiabeer #santacruz #bayareabeer #santacruzbeer #beernerd #beer #beerpics #instabeer #beerstagram
NEW BEER!! 🍺 Melon Jar 🍈🍈🍈 (5.4%) Beach IPA Our ongoing quest of beer experimentation has brought us to our latest beer, Melon Jar- an instant staff fave. Melon Jar is a Beach IPA fermented with an expressive yeast strain and hopped with Citra and Rakau. The yeast throws off extreme flavors of juicy, freshly cut cantaloupe along with a creamy mouthfeel from tons of oats. Citra and Rakau round out the flavor with tropical fruits and fresh nectarines. What the heck is a Beach IPA?! It’s our term for a lower abv IPA. Why not call it a Pale Ale? For us, a Pale Ale is more balanced with a nice malt profile, whereas a Beach IPA is more hop and ester driven, and less about malt. And also, it’s pretty dang refreshing to drink at the beach and as crushable as they come! . . . . #craftbeer #californiabeer #santacruz #bayareabeer #santacruzbeer #beernerd #beer #beerpics #instabeer #beerstagram #beachbeer #summerbeer
Hey friends. We’re stoked to announce the next chapter for Humble Sea- our own food truck! We’ve come a looooong way. It’s hard to believe we once operated our food program out of a 50-square foot kitchen under our stairs with just a panini press. We’ll be relaunching our food program from our new trailer June 1st. We’re hiring for multiple positions, 20-40 hours per week. No experience required. What we do require is a positive attitude, good communication skills, and a determination to get shit done. Our brewery gets crazy busy, and we’re looking for someone who can hang through the rush with a smile on their face. Interviews this week! Please email a resume and cover letter to beer@humblesea.com. Tag a friend who might want to join our fam!
 
 

More about us

Who the hell is Humble Sea?

(Finally, someone asked.) Humble Sea Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Santa Cruz, established by three long-term buddies hell-bent on making the world just a little bit better through beer.

We're composed of magic some kick-ass brewers, a front-of-the-house guru, an artsy kid that "designs" for us, and the most incredible beertenders in the history of the planet.

Don't believe us? Just stalk us on our Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Yellow Pages or location-tracking GPS Systems. (But seriously)

The beer

What do they brew?

Beer! More specifically we are a multi-personality brewery that splits its time between hop-bombs, mixed fermentation farmhouse ales and experimental lagers.

IPAs & Pales

The majority of our batches are hoppy beers, mostly New England Style IPAs and pale ales. We simply can't get enough of 'dem juicy, aromatic and yeast-forward hoppy beers in our faces.

Barrel Program

Our barrel program focuses on mixed-fermentation saisons and sour beers. We also do one-off experimental IPAs, bocks and stouts fermented 100% in french oak. 

Lagers

When our brew schedule permits, we make the time to brew lagers like our Mexican beach beer Playita, or our decoction pilsners.

Feel free to peruse our beer lineup and see for yourself.
