Each year Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day are kissing cousins on the calendar.
The federal holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February celebrates our first president, George Washington, and all the presidents who’ve led our country. San Francisco’s City Hall typically celebrates the holiday by illuminating the building in red, white and blue. The schedule varies from year to year, but look up and see if you can catch it if you’re driving around the area after dark.
This year’s three-day weekend also celebrates the start of Lunar New Year (Feb. 12) and love’s holiday on Feb. 14, with long-standing traditions such as San Francisco Beer Week shifting toward virtual and safe, social distanced options. The Chronicle Wine Competition’s Public Tasting event, usually held over the long weekend, will not take place this year but the annual wine competition is on track and awards are set

This week, Beer Sessions Radio is heading out west! Jimmy sits down with Joanne Marino from the Bay Area Brewers Guild in San Francisco, California, and Kim Sturdavant from Pacifica Brewery in Pacifica, California, to hear about California Craft Beer Week, running from February 12-21.
Having to pivot due to COVID-19, Joanne explains why the guild expanded SF Beer Week into a collective, calling it California Craft Beer Week. This February, leading stars from all over the California region have joined together to share their passion for craft brewing and regional ingredients with their communities. For Kim at Pacifica, customers can enjoy a variety 4-pack paired with spectacular food to celebrate Beer Week.
