SF Beer Week 2026 (February 20-March 1)

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 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.

SF Beer Week 2026 (February 20-March 1)

Beer, Stranger Things & Pinball Nerds unite. Behold, this day shall be a trifecta of delicious brews, custom quests on our Stranger Things pinball machine and D&D-style 20-sided Die gameplay for some killer prizes from BarrelHouse Brewing & Outer Orbit.

This means you don’t have to play pinball to be a winner. You can just quaff our fresh limited releases from BarrelHouse and roll your odds at the bar. $20 gets you a raffle ticket and die to play.

Your menu will double as a “D&D” character sheet game-card with a prize legend for each number you roll. You get two chances, so if you don’t like your first roll you can roll again! Better hope you get the Critical Hit (20) and not a Critical Fail (1)… The winner of the raffle drawing receives a BarrelHouse Brewery Tour, and you don’t need to be present to win! May the gods shine down upon you…

Live-streamed Stranger Things Pinball Quests will start at 5 pm and prizes will be rewarded upon completion of the following feats: Battle and defeat the Demogorgon; Get lucky with a D20 Match at the end of the game; or Complete the “Monster Hunting” mode and you will be handsomely rewarded.
