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.
