Sure, it’s hot outside. And sure, it’s going to get much hotter and it’s going to stay that way for several weeks and months. But just as at the end of each day there is respite in a cold glass of a fine brew, at the end of summer there is relief waiting with another 10 days of beer-related fun at the third annual Chico Beer Week. It’s coming Oct. 8-17. Visit the site often (and follow Chico Beer Week on Facebook) for updates and soon-to-be-announced exciting details about this year’s events. Cheers!

Chico! That was some mighty fine beer-weeking you did there. What a blast! The Chico News & Review thanks all the brewers, beer bars, restaurants, bottle shops, distributors, our co-presenters Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., all our beer-week sponsors and all the craft-beer fans for kicking so much butt on Chico Beer Week 2014. Here’s to next year, cheers!
