Whether you are a long-time lover of craft beer or are new to the craft beer experience, 
Kalamazoo Beer Week offers a host of special, one-time-only style experiences.

Kalamazoo’s independently owned and operated restaurants and retail locations,
together with craft breweries and brewers, develop a unique craft beer experience 
for patrons. Among the programming for this exciting week of events are beer dinners, demonstrations, tastings, and meet-the-brewer functions. Intended to educate, offer insight into the craft beer movement, beers styles, or the industry at large, these 
events are open to the public. 

In some cases, reservations are required (such is the case with most beer dinners), 
but often, these functions are open-house style. Plan your week, plot your course, 
and visit with the very people that conceived of your favorite brew! Click on the event calendar to view a comprehensive list of events. But remember, events are added right 
up to the dates of Kalamazoo Beer Week, so bookmark and check back often.
