FacebookTwitterEmail
Fort Point Beer Company is hosting an event called SF Landmarks Demystified for this year s California Beer Week, in which the Western Neighborhoods Project will showcase rare, historic photographs of S.F.Sarah Chorey/Fort Point Beer Co.
This year, SF Beer Week won t be its usual abundance of beer-tasting galas, all-you-can-eat dim sum beer brunches and boozy yoga classes. Not only has COVID-19 driven most of the hop-fueled events to pivot to virtual, but beer week is also now a statewide event, transforming into California Craft Beer Week (Feb. 12-21).
Top local picks for San Francisco Beer Week
Beer Week looks different this year – but still brings new releases of special local brews.
With the pandemic disrupting San Francisco Beer Week this year, the Bay Area Brewers Guild teamed up with six other regional guilds throughout the state to organize California Craft Beer Week from February 12-21. While large gatherings and festivals won’t be happening this year, breweries are still hosting plentiful virtual tastings and other events over the next two weekends.
Friday night’s free online kickoff event will feature talks by luminaries from throughout California like Vinny and Natalie Cilurzo of Russian River, Greg Koch of Stone, and David Walker of Firestone Walker, as well as Bay Area brewers Tim Sciascia of Cellarmaker, Kim Sturdivant of Pacifica Brewery, Shaun O’Sullivan of 21 st Amendment, and many others.
