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.
