San Diego Beer Week 2013

San Diego Beer Week Hillcrest

November 1 & 2, 2013 @ The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier

SDBW Brewers Guild

The San Diego Brewers Guild Festival is the OFFICIAL kickoff event for San Diego Beer Week!  Come out to the beautiful Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier in downtown San Diego to enjoy samples from 50+ craft breweries from around the county!  And to make the FIFTH ANNIVERSARY of Beer Week really special, we split this year’s festival into TWO days:

 

VIP Brewer Takeover: Friday night (Nov. 1) from 6-9PM come rub elbows with some of San Diego’s award-winning brewers and see why San Diego beer is taking over palates everywhere. This exclusive event will showcase San Diego’s finest, rare, and specialty beers from local breweries, including offerings brewed just for this event.  All-inclusive ticket includes unlimited beer samples offered throughout the evening coupled with unlimited food samples from local craft-beer friendly restaurants.

 

SD Brewers Guild Festival: Saturday (Nov. 2) from 2-5PM come enjoy the Guild Festival with a commemorative tasting glass and 15 X 3 oz. beer samples.  The event showcases San Diego County’s finest craft breweries!  Food will be available for sale from local, craft-beer friendly restaurants and food trucks.

 

And to top it all off, musical entertainment will be provided by some of San Diego’s most talented musicians!

 

But there’s more… To get the most out of the SD Brewers Guild Festival we are offering a Premier Access pass. This pass will allow you to enter the festival 1 HOUR early, a commemorative tasting glass and 20 X 3 oz. beer samples (that’s 5 more tasters than our General Admission ticket!).

 

And if that isn’t enough… you can enjoy the festivities on BOTH Friday and Saturday at a discount!  For $100, you will get one Friday night (6-9PM) ‘VIP Brewer Takeover’ ticket and one Premier Access pass for Saturday’s Guild Festival (1-5PM). [$130 value!]
