It\u2019s the most chuggable time of the year as Alamo City brewers get ready for the San Antonio Beer Week marathon of breakfasts, spooky screenings, and a grand tasting at Hemisfair. Elsewhere, local homebrewers are perfecting their pale ales for Verano Bra\u00fc as a Fort Worth brewery prepares to bring Cowtown to the Rim. Yeehaw! It\u2019s time to rope in October\u2019s beer news.<\/p>\n

Breaking down Beer Week
We don\u2019t know if we have Ninkasi, Silenus, or Mbaba Mwana Waresa to thank, but the beer gods are smiling on this year\u2019s San Antonio Beer Week<\/a> (SABW). With (slightly) cooler days forecasted October 10-18, no one will have to suffer heat stroke to sip a barrel-aged stout.<\/p>\n

The frothy celebration of craft brewing came together in 2011, after local beer writer Travis E. Poling proposed the idea in a San Antonio Current column. Now, area brewers have made it one of the city\u2019s most anticipated excuses to pop open a cold one.<\/p>\n

While imbibers can chart their own course with the annual passport program<\/a>, they won\u2019t want to miss the parties. Among this year\u2019s festivities are a beer breakfast at Dos Sirenos, an anniversary party at The Friendly Spot, a spooky screening at Wild Barley, a tap takeover at Roundabout, and a toast to Idle Beer Hall.<\/p>\n

It all comes to a crescendo at Hemisfair\u2019s Civic Park for the annual San Antonio Beer Festival<\/a>, where brewers from across the nation serve their best. Groggy head or not, the real ones will want to stick around the next day for the annual Brewers Olympics.<\/p>\n

More information on all of the events can be found online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hopping into the ring
While the pros show off for Beer Week, homebrewers will have their chance to flaunt their own American pale ales during the sixth annual Verano Bra\u00fc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beer nonprofit San Antonio Cerveceros<\/a> is taking 12 competition entries through October 23, and the winner will be announced October 26 at K\u00fcnstler Brewing<\/a>. The final boss will be sold at the Southtown brewery.<\/p>\n

San Antonio-based fuel company VP Racing is adding some octane to Alamo Distilling Co<\/a>. The company has purchased the struggling distillery at 2030 E. Houston St. to produce its newly launched Grand Tour Collection<\/a> of roadtrip-inspired whiskies.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, buzzy Fort Worth brewery Second Rodeo<\/a> is eyeing its first San Antonio location. According to a property flyer, the beer garden will take over the former home of The Rustic at 17619 La Cantera Pkwy in the Rim.<\/p>\n

Lastly, City Brew Tours has rolled out new guided excursions<\/a> through San Antonio breweries. Local franchise owner Michael Lerch says he doesn’t just want guests to taste Alamo City beers, but also meet the people responsible for their favorite ales and IPAs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s the most chuggable time of the year as Alamo City brewers get ready for the San Antonio…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":458526,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4262,3950,423,82,84,83,17610],"class_list":["post-458525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-bars","tag-nightlife","tag-openings","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news","tag-st-marys-strip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458525","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/458526"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
