SF Beer Week is a ten day celebration that showcases the Bay Area’s brewing heritage and contemporary craft beer scene.
Have a pint… or a few… at over 600 events in San Francisco and the Bay Area from January 22-31, 2016.
There are beer dinners, food and beer pairing events, trivia nights, beer tastings, meet-the-brewer evenings, and homebrewing demos all over the Bay Area. Just remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Here’s some of Funcheap’s favorite upcoming events for 2016 that are either free, or have really fantastic specials and deals.
