Who We Are
Our LocationLocated in the Harbor of Princeton-by-the-Sea just four miles north of Half Moon Bay and 25 miles south of San Francisco.
Freshly Brewed Beers & AlesThe Half Moon Bay Brewing Company offers ten freshly brewed beers on tap, piped directly from the serving tanks to the bar. Half Moon Bay Brewing Company was awarded the bronze medal in the American-Style Amber/Red Ale category for its Amber Ale, a robust, balanced ale brewed with four malts and cascade hops that is as full-bodied as the legendary wave and surfing competition for which it was named. We also offer full bar options and a variety of local wines.
CuisineWe specialize in fresh California coastal cuisine with an international flair, under the direction of Executive Chef Fred Godinez. Our menu features local seafood, California Harris Ranch beef, and seasonal fruits and vegetables. We adhere to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Guide, and are proud to be a perennial San Mateo County As Fresh as it Gets Award Winner. Half Moon Bay Brewing Company prides itself on being the first certified San Mateo County Green Business along the San Mateo Coast.
