SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Feb. 16, 2022 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Bay Area Brewers Guild and Half Time Beverage have partnered to launch a series of unique guild-curated mixed packs to celebrate California craft beer and the robust Bay Area craft beer scene.
This partnership with a national direct-to-consumer retailer means the Guild will be able to showcase its membership of independent and world-class craft breweries to beer lovers within and outside of the Bay Area.
The initial pack, out now, spotlights SF Beer Week, the internationally renowned craft beer celebration currently running through February 20.
The exclusive official SF Beer Week Mixed Pack is available through Half Time, shipping to 33 states, and features rare one-off releases, brewery collaborations, and beers from highly sought after breweries such as Humble Sea Brewing Co., HenHouse Brewing Co. and Temescal Brewing Co.
The series of mixed packs, released periodically throughout 2022, will directly support the work of the Guild, and feature both singular creations and brews that rarely, if ever, make it outside of the Bay Area.
