Full schedule for 2026 still TBA. But expect beer dinners, food and beer pairing events, trivia nights, beer tastings, meet-the-brewer evenings, homebrewing demos, and much more all over the Bay Area. Just remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.

SF Beer Week 2026 (February 20-March 1)

Jump into SF Beer Week headfirst with a polar bear plunge in the bay with Fort Point Beer Company.

Join the Fort Point team in a swim on beautiful Crissy Field, as well as a tour of the two-year old brewery’s Presidio location.

Starting at 9 am, Fort Point staff will be on hand to tour participants around the brewery’s production facility, where Fort Point favorites are brewed, packaged and shipped to bars and restaurants across San Francisco.

Participants will be able to taste Fort Point’s newest seasonal releases, to learn more about the beer making process. After the tour, join the staff in an inaugural plunge into the chilly 53 degree bay in front of the brewery, on Crissy Field.
