This month, hundreds of beer tastings, dinners, festivals and educational events will take place across the Bay Area from February 10 through 19 as part of SF Beer Week. This highly anticipated week draws tens of thousands of attendees together in bars, restaurants and stores to celebrate the region’s craft beer culture and history.
You can learn more at the SF Beer Week website, www.sfbeerweek.org, where a complete schedule of events can be found. At the website, you can also plan and save your own itinerary, learn about sponsors, purchase commemorative gear and see photos of prior revelry.
This year’s schedule is expected to exceed a whopping 300 events. You can anticipate special beer release parties, food pairing dinners at some of the region’s top restaurants, meet the brewer nights and other occasions highlighting the creativity and diversity of craft beer.
For people who want to pack their schedule with events and keep track of them all on the go, you can download the SF Beer Week app for your iPhone or Android device. The apps allow users to access the event calendar, map venue locations, create itineraries and share them with friends on Twitter and Facebook. It’s the perfect tool for getting the most out of what SF Beer Week has to offer.
This is the fourth edition of SF Beer Week, which is organized by the San Francisco Brewers Guild and other Northern California craft beer industry members. The San Francisco Brewers Guild is a volunteer, nonprofit organization consisting of eight member breweries in San Francisco: 21st Amendment, Anchor, Beach Chalet, Gordon Biersch, Magnolia Gastropub, Social Kitchen, Speakeasy and ThirstyBear. Individual events are produced by breweries, brewpubs, beer importers, wholesalers, restaurants, bars and retail stores, which are collectively marketed and promoted under the umbrella of SF Beer Week.
