What Is San Francisco Beer Week?
San Francisco Beer Week is a ~10 day celebration of breweries in the Bay Area. It consists of a galas, competitions, collaborations, and more put on by the Bay Area Brewers Guild.
In addition to local Bay Area breweries, many taprooms and some breweries bring in amazing beers from beyond the Bay Area including Portland, Seattle, SoCal and the East Coast.

San Francisco Beer Week Schedule, Calendar of Events
The official calendar of events can be found here: https://sfbeerweek.org/, but please note, not all taprooms and breweries post their events on this site as it costs money to do so (anywhere from $150 to $850 depending on number of events, number of locations and what not). Their official calendar drops 2/9, but I have some events posted below already.
Given the sheer number of events, it can be overwhelming to figure out which ones to check out, find events not listed in the official site and prioritize places based on styles of beers, uniqueness of beers and what not so I created this list. It will be updated regularly. Similarly, some venues and breweries host their own events outside the official Beer Week schedule (before) and I have included some of those below.
San Francisco Beer Week Tickets
In the past, San Francisco Beer Week would kick-off with a big gala at Fort Mason but I forget when that stopped, sometime during Covid I believe.
Most events do not require tickets, but a few might. Additionally, some may offer reservations, as is the case with some lunches, dinners, and what not.
