California Craft Beer Week returns

California Craft Beer Week returns July 18 to 27 for the largest statewide celebration of craft beer. Organized by the California Craft Brewers Association (CCBA), this 10-day event will spotlight brewery-hosted events and special beer releases across California to highlight the strength and diversity of the community-driven craft beer industry. It’s a celebration of the people, places and pints that make California’s craft beer scene so dynamic. Fans and brewers alike are eager to see what the 2025 program has on tap.

“California’s award-winning craft beer industry supports tens of thousands of jobs and contributes more than $8.9 billion to the state’s economy,” said CCBA Executive Director Kelsey McQuaid-Craig. “California Craft Beer Week is a moment to celebrate the brewers, small businesses and communities that make California craft beer the envy of the country. We hope you will join us not just in July, but throughout the year, to celebrate California craft beer.”

California Craft Beer Week also powers two statewide fundraising campaigns, energizing support for the CCBA and the future of craft brewing across the state.

Now celebrating its fifth anniversary, the CCBA Brewers Collaboration beer showcases participating breweries across the state, each crafting a unique release in a style they’re best known for. A portion of the proceeds from the beer sales are donated to the CCBA.

New this year is California Pint Day, kicking off California Craft Beer Week with a limited-edition collectible pint glass available at participating taprooms statewide. This program gives consumers a chance to take home a piece of the celebration while directly supporting the CCBA and the breweries behind it.

With initiatives like California Craft Beer Week, the CCBA champions more than just good beer — it supports the business owners, brewers and artisans working every day to keep California’s craft beer scene world-class.
