Raise a mug or two and make a cheer for beer!

Now in its sixth year, Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week has returned to North Vancouver. Join brewmasters for the Launch Party on November 2 at the Shipyards District’s Pipe Shop to sample the region’s best craft beers and enjoy live entertainment. Partial proceeds from ticket sales go to North Shore Rescue.

Horseshoe Bay on the North Shore is home to Canada’s first microbrewery, opening in 1982. That legacy continues with this year’s festival, with events at over 10 North Shore breweries, one distillery, and one cidery. All feature music, limited-edition beers and drinks, food pop-ups, games, giveaways, and more.
