About San Antonio Beer Week
Established in 2011, San Antonio Beer Week seeks to promote familiarity with local and independent craft breweries; to increase the visibility of its diverse beer community, through events and education; and to help grow the craft beer industry throughout the greater San Antonio area.
Through a multitude of events, tours, pub crawls, tastings and a collaboration beer brewed by area brewers, San Antonio Beer Week highlights the very spirit of San Antonio's sense of friends and family. Check out the events calendar and make your plans for the week. Salud!

I genuinely enjoy meeting new people, and I have a deep appreciation for good beer. There’s something special about the way a shared pint can spark conversation and turn strangers into friends.
San Antonio Beer Week is a nonprofit that brings those two passions together in a meaningful way. It creates opportunities for people to connect over craft beer while supporting a cause that strengthens our local community.
