Love Good Beer

First Annual Whistler Brewhouse Beer Festival

Friday, May 29th, 2009 | Beer, Breweries, Events, Pubs

The Whistler Brewhouse is an establishment that I love.  I’ve been going there for many years, long before I’d even fully discovered my love of beer.  Some friends and I stumbled upon it during a ski trip one winter and have been going back ever since.  We found the fresh beer and food to be excellent and the atmosphere to be delightfully cozy after a day on the slopes.  The Whistler Brewhouse was also where I first enjoyed many lesser known beer styles, including a cherry ale, barley wine, and dunkelweizen that I can recall.  When I found out that the Whistler Brewhouse would be hosting a beer festival this year, my interest was piqued.

I heard about the festival via the CAMRA Vancouver email newsletter, but haven’t been able to find very many details online besides the image included in this post and a Facebook event.  The festival is said to be happening on Saturday June 27th from 12PM to 6PM and over twenty unknown microbreweries will be on hand.  Tickets are $25 ($20 for CAMRA members) and are on sale at the Brewhouse and at Dix in Vancouver.  Despite the lack of official details, the mere mention of a beer festival at the Whistler Brewhouse is enough for me.  Erirk and I will be heading to Whistler that weekend for the wives for what will surely be an excellent time.  To all my friends who expressed interest in previous beer festivals and were less than impressed when I didn’t invite them, please feel encouraged to join us at this one.  It is going to be fun.

Cheers,

Chris
