SF Beer Week Is Like Godzilla, Only Bigger (And Not Angry)
SF Beer Week 2010 is already at 50 events! SFBW09 had a pretty impressive 155 different events, and SFBW10 is already a third of the way there. By my math, we’re on pace for something like 321,438 events this year! Beer Week Hall of Fame, here we come.
Some recent additions:
- Canned beer tasting and discussion with Uncommon Brewers at 515 in Santa Cruz
- Beer and Chocolate event for Charity: Drake’s Brewing Co. and Bittersweet Chocolate Co. at Craneway Pavilion in Richmond
- Lagunitas on tour: Lagunitas nights at Taps in Petaluma, The Sweet Spot in Santa Rosa, and The Toronado in SF
- A Sierra Nevada night and an Anchor night at Pi Bar, with paired small plates
- Meet the Brewers: Adam Lamoreaux of Linden Street Brewery at The Page, Rob Tod of Allagash Brewing Co. at The Trappist
- Importer night at The Trappist: Vanberg and Dewulf showcase Dupont and Witkap beers
- Homebrewers Beerfest at Park Chalet, with expert panel, feedback, and homebrewing demo
Some of the range of beer dinners:
- A beer dinner at Lagunitas Brewing Co. with the head brewer
- A Weeklong beer dinner at Beach Chalet
- An intimate, 10-person Brewery Cellar Dinner at ThirstyBear with barrel tasting
- A detox/retox organic, vegan beer dinner at Millennium
