More than 100 different events featuring the best beer from Sacramento, from California, and from around the world! Learn about Sacramento's brewing history, participate in a weeklong scavenger hunt, and learn about brewing, beer tasting, and food pairing!

Several towns outside of Sacramento are joining us, including Davis, Roseville, Folsom, Auburn, Nevada City, and beyond, so check to see who is celebrating near you!

Scavenger Hunt:  The Sacramento Hopheads present a scavenger hunt for fun and great prizes! All week long, contestants can wander the streets of Sacramento and the events of Sacramento Beer Week and collect items and photos proving that you were there. On Sunday, February 21st, we will post the list of scavenger hunt items. Team size is limited to no more than 4 contestants. Please have a digital camera (camera phone is acceptable), as many of the clues will require photographs to get credit. On Sunday the 28th, join us for our check-in party at The Shack from Noon-4pm where we tally your booty and hoist a pint in honor of the winners!
