SF Beer Week 2020 with Fort Point Beer Company

Your guide to the best Fort Point events for San Francisco Beer Week!

SF Beer Week is back, and as always we’ve been hard at work thinking of events that pair cold, fizzy beer with some of our favorite things (think: dumplings 🥟, art 🎨, bikes 🚲, sake 🍶 and some good old fashioned competition 🎸). Read on for our full events lineup and continue to check back in as we add a few more surprises!

The Making of a Fort Point Beer

Thursday, 2/13, 6:00PM — 10:00PM   | 📍California Academy of Sciences Planetarium

Ever wonder what it’s like to be inside of a tank during fermentation but too smart to actually try it? Join us in the Morrison Planetarium for a special immersive experience presented by our Director of Brewing, Mike Schnebeck, as he shows how brewers combine 4 simple ingredients — hops, grain, yeast and water — to create endless flavor possibilities. As part of the special SFBW edition of NightLife, we’ll be pouring crowd favorites at a pop-up beer hall alongside dozens of local breweries.

Goldsworthy in the Presidio with Fort Point

Sunday, 2/16, 12:00PM — 3:00PM   | 📍Presidio Officers’ Club | SOLD OUT

Our brewery sits on National Park land in the Presidio of San Francisco, a place full of surprises — like the largest collection of Andy Goldsworthy art on public view in North America. Meet us for a guided hike through Goldsworthy’s works led by Presidio Trust docents. After we’ll head to Presidio Social Club for a few Fort Point beers, made right in the Presidio.

Curry Night with Fort Point and Sequoia Sake

Sunday, 2/16, 5:00PM — 8:00PM   | 📍Fort Point Ferry Building

Wrap up SFBW with a lantern-lit meal by three SF makers of delicious things.
