VCBW Beer Festival

VCBW is hosting over 100 breweries and cideries across North America, pouring over 400 craft beers during the finale festival. This will include a US Brewers Association section filled with craft beers never before seen in Canada, and three new music stages. Partnering with CFOX, there will be 12 musical acts on stage throughout the three days of the festival.

VCBW Brew

The 7th annual VCBW collaboration brew is an Oceania inspired Saison, Brewed at Steel + Oak. Steel + Oak and Strange Fellows designed the brew, along with the help of 26 other BC breweries. It includes wild harvested Tasmanian Pepperberries, New Zealand hop varietals, fresh cracked pepper, blackberry, currant, raspberry and a hint of zesty citrus. Proceeds from the collaboration brew are going to Music Heals, VCBW’s 2016 charity partner.
