With sunshine in the forecast for next week and Santa Clara County in the glorious Orange Tier (hey, everything's relative!), you may be about ready to celebrate. We're thinking about toasting rising vaccination rates and the warm weather with a cold craft beer from a local brewery in honor of American Craft Beer Week, May 10–16.

Mostly just an excuse to enjoy a great brew, the national event also presents an opportunity to support small businesses after a tough year that's hit the hospitality industry especially hard. "We invite you to toast the local businesses that have endured tough times to ensure our glasses, growlers, and beer fridges remain full," says the nonprofit Brewers Association.

In that spirit, Hoodline brings you a partial list of craft breweries in the immediate neighborhood of San Jose. Cheers!
