Silicon Valley Beer Week doesn’t live up to its name—it exceeds it. The 10-day beer bonanza continues through this weekend, and participating breweries, bars and restaurants will host everything from tap takeovers and beer pong tournaments to beer walks and bingo. Events roll through Sunday, and below are just a few options worth considering. For more information go to svbeerweek.com.
Sculpin Walk
Downtown Campbell; Wednesday, 5pm
Buy a souvenir glass for $2 and walk through Sushi Confidential Campbell, Khartoum, Spread Deli & Bottles, Tessora’s Barra di Vino and Campbell Brewing Co. for half-off pours. The locations will be offering six different IPA flavors from Ballast Point Brewing.
Bingo & Beer
Faultline Brewing Co.; Thu, 6pm
Faultline Brewing Co. will give customers a chance to win their beer and food through bingo ($20). FBC will give winners an appetizer choice of sloppy joe fries, dirty chips or buffalo-roasted cauliflower. If bingo is not your “pint of beer” try the Beer Lovers Challenge for a chance to win a Faultline pint glass, an FBC T-shirt, or 32-ounce mini-growler filled with your favorite beer. If that doesn’t quench your thirst, Roadhouse will be serving barbecued meats and sides at 5pm.

Nom Burger; Sat, 3pm
For beer pong lovers, join Nom Burger’s tournament ($10 entry) from 3 to 6pm. Teams will be competing to be crowned South Bay’s best. The top three will take home prizes.
