Title:: SF Beer Week
When:: 02/06/09 - 02/15/09
Where:: SF Beer Week - San Francisco
Category:: Beer Event

Description

America's craft beer movement began in the San Francisco Bay Area. With Anchor Brewing's rescue by Fritz Maytag in 1965 and the founding of New Albion Brewing in 1976, craft beer grew into the Silver Age of American brewing, with over 1400 small craft breweries today. Northern California alone has more than most states and enjoys an unrivaled reputation for the quality and diversity of its craft beer.

SF BEER WEEK will be a ten-day celebration of that legacy, showcasing the Bay Area's brewing heritage with as many as 150 events. The week will be anchored by the Bistro Double IPA Festival, the Toronado Barleywine Festival and will end with a new full-blown Bay Area Beer Festival. In between there will be beer dinners, cheese and beer pairing events, other gourmet food events savoring our world-class cuisine, meet the brewer evenings, homebrewing demonstrations, music, films, and even a museum exhibition exploring the history of Bay Area brewing, from Monterey to Sacramento and beyond.

We're just getting started so there's not too much here yet. We should have t-shirts to sell with our cool logo shortly, which will help support the event.

Add to that a wealth of tourist destinations like Fisherman's Wharf, Alcatraz, Cable Cars and the Golden Gate Bridge, and there's never been a better time to visit San Francisco and the Bay Area.
