From a general’s prized mare to a shipwreck, an 1850s shipyard to Rosie the Riveters, there’s no denying that Mare Island has a rich history. Now, two former winemakers toil daily to create handcraft beer worthy of an island with such incredible historicity at the Mare Island Brewing Company.

With a taproom located at the northern waterfront of the San Francisco Bay, the Mare Island Brewing Company offers six core beers: The Saginaw Golden Ale, the Coal Shed Stout, the Hydraulic Sandwich IPA and the Shipwright’s Porter, Farragut’s Farmhouse Ale and the Angles and Dangles American Blonde Ale.

All of these can be sampled while enjoying the bay’s great view when you visit Mare Island Brewing Company’s stupendous tap room.
