San Francisco Beer Week is almost upon us, and it’s a special opportunity to explore some of the best craft beers the Bay Area has to offer. Plenty of local breweries will be putting on special promotions and events from February 10-19. Read on to discover what’s on tap in San Francisco and beyond.
The Bay Area Brewers Guild will start Beer Week with 5 different kick-off parties around the Bay Area. San Francisco’s will be hosted by Barebottle Brewing Co. at Salesforce Park on Feb. 11, and you can still get tickets starting at $65. The four other kickoff parties will take place at Pond Farm in San Rafael, 21st Amendment in San Leandro, Other Brother in Seaside, and Guildhouse in San Jose.
