Local breweries and bars will engage in a friendly battle to wrap up San Antonio Beer Week.

The second annual San Antonio Beer Olympics is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 22 at the Hoppy Monk.

There will be 12 teams — six breweries and six bars — competing in a series of beer-themed games such as flip cup and quarters, said Hoppy Monk Manager Amanda Casas.

"It's the last day of beer week so it's kind of just a way for all these breweries and bars, who have been working so hard all week, to kind of relax and have a really good time with each other," Casas said.

During each round, teams will be eliminated until there is a first-, second- and third-place winner.

Casas said the public is welcome to come and support the teams, adding there will be one beer on tap from each of the breweries competing.

"We are inviting people to come out to watch the comradery and competition," she said. "Even though they are basically playing for bragging rights, they get super competitive and just have a really good time."
