North Park Beer Co. is closing San Diego Beer Week with its fourth annual Macaroons Day on Sunday, Nov. 15. We checked the brewery’s 2026 San Diego Beer Week page this morning: the event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until it sells out, on the mezzanine at the North Park taproom, 3038 University Ave. No ticket is required. A very limited number of 2026 Macaroons Before Dying bottles will be sold, with a limit of two per person, and the Dark Bar will pour barrel-aged beers from friends. The brewery’s advice is simple: arrive early if you want a bottle.
That official schedule is the one to trust. Jolly Pint, writing on Nov. 9, put Macaroons Day at 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and cited a one-bottle limit. Those details do not match the brewery page, so we are going with North Park’s own hours and the two-bottle cap.
Macaroons Day and the 2026 bottles
The beer itself is thinly described on the official Beer Week page, which names the 2026 Macaroons Before Dying release without an ABV or a price. Jolly Pint fills in the recipe, calling it an imperial stout aged 55 months in Blanton’s bourbon barrels, then conditioned on shredded coconut, toasted coconut chips, raw coconut chips, Madagascar vanilla beans and espresso beans. The site also quotes North Park calling the beer its “favorite Bourbon Barrel Aged Pastry Stout.” Those details do not appear on the brewery’s Beer Week page, and we have not independently confirmed the barrel time or the adjuncts, so they are Jolly Pint’s reporting, not ours.
Macaroons Day was not on the event grid in our San Diego Beer Week 2026 guide when we first mapped the week, and it is easy to miss if you only read our North Park and South Park taprooms guide, which focused on the Nov. 11 Drinkabout Bus and noted the Dark Bar’s Friday and Saturday hours. Sunday’s bottle release is a separate, shorter window. We did flag Macaroons Day in passing in our Origins of Fu! can-release note, which pointed readers back to North Park’s official calendar for times.
San Diego Beer Week runs Friday, Nov. 6, through Sunday, Nov. 15, so this is the last day of the official 10-day stretch. The brewery’s taproom page lists regular Sunday hours as noon to 10 p.m., but Macaroons Day is posted to start at 11 a.m., an hour earlier than a normal Sunday open. If you are already in North Park for the week’s last pours, that mezzanine window is the one that matters. The brewery has not posted how many bottles there are, and it has not said whether any will be left after 2 p.m. if they have not already sold out.
