Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week 2022 (Preview)

Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week is back for 2022! This week long event shines a light on the craft beverage options available in the Kalamazoo area. It runs from Saturday, January 29th to Sunday, February 6.

As we reported in last year’s preview, Kalamazoo Craft Beverage Week used to be called Kalamazoo Beer Week. With a booming craft beverage industry both in the Kalamazoo area and the rest of the state, a more inclusive week and set of offerings is sure to have something for everyone in Kalamazoo. Now that Kalamazoo has a Downtown Social District and the Central Commons Refreshment Area there is plenty to see, do, and drink during the week, too.
