SF Beer Week Website Now Online

SAN FRANCISCO – The countdown begins! The San Francisco Brewers Guild is happy to announce that the SF Beer Week website is now online. It’s where you can discover the first wave of events, build your own itinerary, find the latest news on our blog, and learn about our generous sponsors who help make this celebration happen.

The members of the San Francisco Brewers Guild, who organize and present SF Beer Week, are extremely excited about what’s in store from February 8-17, 2013. As the craft beer community continues to grow, that means new breweries, more venues and industry partners are planning on participating across the Bay Area.

As a result, you can expect even more special events that will entice your senses. Anticipate new beer release parties, food pairing at some of the region’s top restaurants, meet the brewer nights, educational events and more. All of them will highlight the creativity and diversity of craft beer. Sadly, you won’t be able to do everything, so choose wisely!

At the moment, over 80 events are on our schedule. With two months to go before we kick things off at the SF Beer Week Opening Celebration, that number will grow on a weekly basis. Last year there were 325 events, and in all likelihood, we’ll have more in 2013.

There’s a lot going on, so start planning now. Pick some events, schedule your vacation, buy a plane ticket and prepare yourself for a hell of a time.
