Celebrate SF Beer Week With Shmaltz Brewing
Now that we’ve all recovered from our vacations and have lost that holiday weight – it’s time to put it right back on!
San Francisco Beer Week is right around the corner — running from February 8th through 17th — and, as always, the event schedule looks amazing.
This year, you’ll be able to find Shmaltz beers all over the Bay Area, and will have tons of opportunities to celebrate with the crew.
Whether you’re joining us for our first-ever beer pairing dinner with Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen on February 13th, or partying with us at Amnesia on the 14th, the week we’ll be a blast and we’re looking forward to seeing you there.
