Bottle Share
Back in the golden days of craft beer, nothing beat a good old bottle share. Friends gathered around a table, each pulling something special from the cellar, eager to pour and taste what everyone else had been saving. It was simple, generous, and full of discovery, the heart of what made beer culture so fun. We’re bringing that spirit back for SD Beer Week. Dig deep into your stash (you know it’s time), bring a bottle or two to share, and let’s open some memories together.
Drink About Beer Bus
DrinkAbout started way back in the 2010 pre-rideshare era as a way to connect neighborhood beer spots in a safe and social way. Over the years stops on the route included Blind Lady Ale House, Small Bar, Live Wire, Ritual, Sea Rocket, Station, Tiger!Tiger!, Toronado and Hamiltons. 15 years later a lot has changed for sure!
This year DrinkAbout is back for one night only as a part of the San Diego Beer Week!
Alvarado Street Tap Takeover
We’re keeping San Diego Beer Week rolling with a Brewery Spotlight on the legendary Alvarado Street Brewery!
Join us Wednesday, November 13th starting at 5pm as we feature a lineup from one of California’s most consistently impressive breweries. Founded in 2014 in Monterey by J.C. Hill and his family, Alvarado Street has earned national recognition for its expressive hop-forward beers, crisp lagers, and boundary-pushing barrel-aged releases.
Industry Brunch
Come kick back and wind down after another San Diego Beer Week. We’re wrapping things up with a laid-back Industry Brunch at Bock. Biersal will be serving up $5 breakfast sandwiches, and we’ll have beer specials flowing all morning. Good food, good beer, and good company to close out the week.

Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest at Bock
This year will be our very first Oktoberfest at Bock and we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate it with the neighborhood! From September 19 to October 4 we’ll be raising steins, pouring beers from the legends of Munich alongside a few from the new world, and filling the bar with music, festive decor, and plenty of good cheer. Our friends at Biersal will be cooking hearty German plates to keep you going all season long.
Each weekend will feel like stepping into a different tent at Oktoberfest. One week it’s Paulaner, the next it’s Hofbräu, then Hacker-Pschorr to close it out. Every stop brings its own beer, food, and atmosphere, along with some friendly competition in the form of stein-holding contests.
We also made limited Bock Oktoberfest steins and shirts so you can take home a piece of the season. It’s our first Oktoberfest, it’s your new neighborhood bar, and we’d love for you to be part of it.
