San Francisco Beer Week kicked off Friday night with a big event in the Mission. It combined brews, buddies and buses for a fun and safe night.

While people were enjoying the specials on tap for this special event, it was a win-win situation for breweries as well.

The Standard Deviant taproom was filled with beer lovers as they celebrated the kickoff of SF Beer Week. This place opened almost 10 years ago, when Mark DeVito from the bar industry teamed up with his business partner in biotech to craft local brews. While they are known for their German ale, they went all out with special brews for this event.
