Opening Gala
February 5th 5pm-9m
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
701 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
On February 5, 2010 from 5-9 p.m., the San Francisco Brewer’s Guild will host the first-ever Opening Gala event for SF Beer Week. Seeking to inspire creativity and celebrate the art in brewing, the event will feature exclusive beers from 30 breweries in the Bay Area as well as local art within the walls of Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, food from the area’s top Slow Food Nation chefs, and local live performances.
The breweries of the San Francisco Brewer’s Guild also came together to create a collaborative beer that will be unveiled at the start of the Gala. Details of the beer will remain behind brewery walls until the event, but Cicerone and President of the Brewer’s Guild, Rich Higgins commented that the style is “as San Francisco as you can get, and a bit of an oxymoron in concept to provide a tasty treat for beer fanatics in the Bay Area.”
Also featured will be the first batch of a triple IPA from Speakeasy and other special, exclusive beers from 21st Amendment, Lagunitas, Magnolia, Gordon Biersch, Firestone Walker, Bear Republic, Thirsty Bear, Devil’s Canyon and many others.
Early Entrance to the event is $45 for regular entry, $55 for V.I.P. guests (for whom doors will open an hour earlier, at 4:00 p.m.). tickets are expected to sell out and are limited; prices increase $10 after Jan 31. The admission price includes entertainment, access to some of the nation’s top craft breweries, unlimited pours, and a commemorative 12 oz stemmed glass.
There will be an exclusive media hour before the start of the event, from 4-5 p.m. where VIP and media will be able to have first access to specialty beers from top breweries and the brewers themselves. For more information, visit www.sfbeerweek.org
