Just in time for the (anti-abortion/anti-gay dating) Super Bowl, SF Beer Week kicks things off on Friday, ready to fill your belly with hops, brain with a buzz and liver with a bust. The week-long event kicks off at Yerba Buena with a party featuring beers from 30 Northern California craft breweries; a ceremonious tapping of the SF Brewers Guild collaborative brew, a barrel-aged Imperial Common; live music and more.

The SF Brewers Guild Opening Gala happens on Friday, 2/5, at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (701 Mission) from 5pm to 9pm (with a special VIP party beginning at 4pm.) Tickets are $55 - $65.

Best of all, food will be available for purchase from 4505 Meats, Tacolicious and Tataki Sushi.
