SF Beer Week 2017: 10 Events Highlighted

By Sam Molmud @smolmud · On February 2, 2017

SAN FRANCISCO — Between unique beer releases, a new brewery opening and out-of-area breweries coming in for tap takeovers, SF Beer Week is the best time of the year to try beers you may never find otherwise in the Bay Area.

We curated a selection of 10 events that we feel showcase originality, new flavors, special collaborations and reality-defying pairings.

This list is no way comprehensive of all the great events happening during SFBW — for the full selection, you’ll want to visit the SFBW website for everything happening across the Bay Area that week.
