Where to Get Beer for Takeout and Delivery in San Francisco

SF has a tall and strong list of local breweries, pouring everything from classic steam lagers to hoppy and hazy West Coast IPAs. With the current shelter-in-place, it might feel like everyone is drinking more than ever, but unfortunately, small craft breweries have still suffered a dramatic drop in business. So for beer lovers, it’s more important than ever to support their hometown favorites. Plenty of local beer is available through grocery stores or on takeout menus around town, of course — but rather than give a hefty cut to a grocery store chain or a delivery apps, consider tapping straight into the source.

Here’s a running list of breweries currently offering takeout and delivery in San Francisco. Things are changing day by day, so before venturing out, please call ahead or check social media to confirm that the brewery you’re seeking is still open for business. If you have a spot to add or see a place that has closed, please drop us a line.

Ales Unlimited, the craft beer store in a historic building in Pac Heights, is still open for business. (Although their second location, the Beer Basement in the Tenderloin, has temporarily boarded up.) No delivery, but walk right in.

Anchor Brewing might be owned by Sapporo these days, but it’s still one of America’s oldest craft breweries, going strong for more than a century. The SF institution is now offering six-packs, boxes, crowlers, and growlers to go. Pickups are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from Anchor Public Taps, which is their taproom across the street from the brewery.

Barebottle Brewing Co in Bernal Heights, known for their fruity and hazy IPAs, is open for pickup, delivery, or shipping.

The Crafty Fox Ale House has rolled up the garage door in the Mission and is now serving burgers and brews for both pickup and delivery. Because what is a crowler without a Korean fried chicken sandwich?

Ferment Drink Repeat, the small-batch brewery in sunny Portola, is offering pickup for growlers and home brewing kits.

Fool’s Errand, the favorite beer and wine spot on Divis, has opened up the front as a window. The short list of local beers refreshes often, so check Instagram stories for the latest. It’s mostly walk up, but for orders of $100 or more, the shop will do delivery for a $10 fee.
