12 Brewery Event Ideas to Boost Sales This Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity for breweries to spread the love—and boost sales. Whether it’s couples celebrating together, singles making connections, or craft beer lovers looking for unique experiences, hosting the right events can make your brewery the ultimate Valentine’s destination.
Here are 12 fun brewery event ideas. They can help you celebrate the holiday and attract more visitors to your taproom on February 14th.
1. “Love at First Flight” Tasting Event
Offer a special Valentine’s Day flight of beers with romantic (or hilariously ironic) names. Think "Cupid’s IPA," "Single and Hoppy Lager," or "Love on Tap Stout." Pair these with small snacks or chocolates that complement the flavors.
Take it up a notch by including a keepsake like a branded pint glass or custom coasters for couples to take home. This gives them a reminder of their experience (and your brewery) long after the event.
2. Beer & Dessert Pairings
Sweeten the deal by partnering with a local bakery or chocolatier to create a Beer and Dessert Pairing Night. Think stouts paired with rich chocolates or fruity sours matched with macarons. It’s a match made in beer heaven.
Pro Tip: Serve the pairings in small portions with beer bottle labels featuring the pairing notes or quirky Valentine’s messages. Bonus points if you offer these to-go in beer boxes for customers to enjoy at home.
3. Limited-Edition Valentine’s Day Beer
Seasonal beers are always a hit, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. Create a limited-edition brew with a fun romantic twist. Ideas include:
- A cherry or raspberry-infused ale.
- A chocolate stout called “Love on Tap.”
- A cheeky “Cupid’s IPA” with beer labels featuring heart-shaped hops.
Package the beer in special bottles or cans with Valentine’s-themed custom beer bottle labels. Offer them as singles, packs, or part of Valentine’s Day Beer Gift Boxes for last-minute shoppers.
4. Singles Night at the Brewery
Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples. Host an Anti-Valentine’s Singles Mixer or a Speed-Friending event to bring solo beer lovers together.
Create themed pints like “Heartbreaker Lager” or “Single and Hoppy IPA” and offer discounts on singles-only flights. Include icebreaker games or trivia to keep the night fun and laid-back.
Pro Tip: Hand out small custom stickers with funny slogans like “Hopped Up and Available” or “Crafting Love, One Pint at a Time” as souvenirs.
5. “Brews & Vows” Date Package
Give couples an unforgettable date night with a special brewery package. Include:
- A brewery tour
- Two flights of beer
- A charcuterie board or shareable appetizers
- A keepsake, like custom coasters or branded pint glasses
Market it as a ready-made date night for beer-loving couples, and you’ll have lovebirds lining up to book.

- T-shirts with slogans like “You’re the Hops to My Barley.”
- Custom coasters with cheeky love-themed designs.
- Pint glasses or growlers with romantic or quirky graphics.
Pro Tip: Display your brewery merch prominently at the bar or near the register to encourage impulse buys.
11. “Pint of Love” Promotion
Spread the love by donating a portion of proceeds to a local charity for every pint sold on Valentine’s Day. Customers will love the idea of celebrating while giving back.
Make the promotion stand out with custom banners explaining the cause and the impact of each pint sold. Giving back has never tasted so good.
12. Partner with Local Restaurants or Food Trucks
Collaborate with a local restaurant or food truck to create a special Valentine’s Day menu at your brewery.
