SF Beer Week 2026 (February 20-March 1)

Have a pint or a few at hundreds of beer-themed events in San Francisco and the Bay Area from February 20 to March 1, 2026.

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.

For the 1st time, the SF Brewers Guild is brewing two Beer Week beers, pitting the North of Market breweries against the South of Market breweries. So they figured to keep this friendly competition going.

They will have both collaboration beers on tap and a few of the breweries from each team will be submitting additional beers. They will be keeping team score via beer sales and the winning team’s beers will be discounted for the remainder of the night.

1st the Collaboration Beers:

  • Team NOMA will be pouring a saison featuring yuzu peel, sea salt and raw organic Patwin wheat in the grain bill
  • Team SOMA will be pouring a coffee porter infused with chicory.

You can read more about the collaboration beers and see the full team lists here.
