Mass Beer Week Calendar
Events frequently updated - stay tuned for more every day!
Calling all Massachusetts tap rooms, breweries & brew pubs!
Join us and get involved by hosting events March 2 through 9, 2024. The goal of the weeklong series of events is shine a bright spotlight on the amazing craft beer made in our state and to draw traffic and tourism to your establishments to drink it all in!
Joining is easy! The only requirement is that your event must focus exclusively on beer brewed in the state of Massachusetts. Need ideas? We’ve got you covered:
Host a beer & food pairing experience:
Curate a four course meal, cheese or chocolate pairing experience or a guided tour with the brewer. Talk about how beer and food complement one another and provide attendees with tips for doing their own pairings at home. No kitchen? No problem. Support a local restaurant or food truck and team up to create meal kits that can be picked up and enjoyed on premise with a flight through a guided workshop or brought home with a mixed 4-pack from your brewery.
Host a tasting, panel discussion or educational event
Release a special beer and offer a beerside chat with the brewer. Bring in your maltster, and/or hop grower to talk about the ingredients and process, while the brewer covers technique and taste. Other educational topics could include - beer glassware and how to pour the perfect pint, a cooking with beer demo, or a tour and history lesson on your brewery. The possibilities are endless!
Beer Collaboration
Team up with a fellow Massachusetts brewer from your area or across the Commonwealth to brew up a special release during Mass Beer Week. Beer is better brewed together!
