Take a ride back in time with this Sacramento Bee video that captures the very essence of what would become a Sacramento institution! This footage offers a rare glimpse into the early days of Sac Brew Bike, showcasing our intrepid pedalers as they cruise through the streets of midtown Sacramento, laughing, pedaling, and pioneering a whole new way to experience the city’s craft beer scene.

Watch as our crew powers their way through Sacramento’s tree-lined streets in this delightful piece of local history. This isn’t just any ordinary bike ride – it’s the origin story of how Sac Brew Bike began transforming the way locals and visitors alike explore Sacramento’s vibrant pub culture. Every pedal stroke in this video represents the beginning of countless memorable adventures that would follow.

The Sacramento Bee knew they were witnessing something special when they filmed this segment, capturing the infectious energy and community spirit that has defined Sac Brew Bike from day one. From these humble beginnings pedaling through midtown, we’ve grown into Sacramento’s premier brewery touring experience, but the heart of what you see in this video – friends coming together, exploring the city, and having an absolute blast while doing it – remains exactly the same.

So grab a cold one and enjoy this throwback to where it all began. Who knows? You might just spot the exact moment when Sacramento fell in love with the Sac Brew Bike experience!

We are pleased to announce the launch of our latest business, the San Francisco Brew Boat!

If you’ve joined us on our Sacramento River Brew Boat tours then you already know the awesomeness of the cycleboat experience. The San Francisco Brew Boat is a larger, dare I say an even “more awesome” 35 foot cycleboat that embarks on daily cruises from Pier 40 in the San Francisco Bay waterfront. The San Francisco Bay is the best party location, there lots to see, and we think there is no better way to experience the San Francisco Bay and celebrate with friends than by Chartered Boat!

The San Francisco Brew Boat accommodates up to 26 passengers, and our private boat tours are 90 minutes. The SF Brew Boat pedal-powered boat tours are along the iconic Bay Area waterfront, with the launch location at Pier 40. Groups can bring their own beer/cider/wine/seltzers/or canned cocktails aboard this privately chartered boat as we cruise, pedal, and party in the Bay.

Our boat tours are a fun group, interactive experience where you will enjoy the San Francisco waterfront by chartered boat. Part boat, part bike, and all party, we are the perfect way to celebrate birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, team building, and celebratory group outings!

How exciting! Sac Brew Bike and Sac Brew Boat were mentioned in New York Magazine’s article about “What to Do” while visiting Sacramento! Such a great honor, and we are humbled to be included alongside so many great Sacramento businesses.
