Vancouver Craft Beer Week Events and Tickets

Friday, April 23rd, 2010 | Events

Vancouver Craft Beer Week is shaping up with many tantalizing events announced recently.  If you haven’t heard, VCBW is a week long celebration of local beer taking place around Vancouver May 10-16.  There will be many events at many different venues, for the full list click here.  I’ve just learned that tickets to two of the most exciting looking events have just come on sale and aren’t expected to last long.

Hoppapalooza at the Alibi Room on Monday, May 10 is looking like the pick of the litter so far.  Apparently Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson will be on hand to kick off this event, which marks the beginning of VCBW.  For $50, your ticket gets you a taste of over 25 hop forward beers, a dish of bison chili, and the enjoyment of local blues musician Rich Hope.  Buy tickets here.

The BC Beer Awards Tasting Event brought to you by Brewery Creek will be held Friday, May 14 at Heritage Hall on Main street.  At this event, $30 for your ticket lets you taste the winning beers from the first annual BC Beer Awards.  The winners haven’t been announced yet, so that will be part of the fun too.  Buy tickets here.

There are many other beer dinners and pubcrawls to choose from, so make sure to check out the other events. Also, take a look at this video released for VCBW:

Sadly, I’m not going to be able to go to any of the VCBW events, what with moving to another continent and all.  I have consoled myself, if only a little, by buying tickets to the Great British Beer Festival coming up in August.

Cheers,

Chris
