Vancouver Brewery Tours offer sneak peaks for beer lovers

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Given that the craft-beer craze seems to be infiltrating every corner of the Lower Mainland—the range of microbreweries now stretches as far as North Vancouver, Port Moody, and Delta—you’ll likely have at least one beer lover to impress this holiday season or, at the very least, a few beer-curious folk.

      Enter Vancouver Brewery Tours, whose experiential gift ideas should prove a hit with neophytes and craft-beer devotees alike. The local company offers year-round excursions to a number of Vancouver’s most popular breweries—including 33 Acres Brewing Company, Brassneck Brewery, Parallel 49 Brewing, and Storm Brewing—where participants are taken behind the tasting-room walls for an inside look at the beer-making process.

      For the holidays, you can snag Vancouver Brewery Tours’ new Beer Lover’s Holiday Gift Pack ($169 plus tax), which includes two tour passes, one 64-ounce growler and a fill-up, and a pair of snazzy souvenir beer glasses. The passes are good for a tour where your beer buff (and presumably you, as a plus-one) can soak in the VIP experience—plus about a pint’s worth of craft-beer samplers at each stop.

      It’s a lot more memorable (and gift-wrap-friendly) than the standard six-pack. Nab yours online before December 10 and you’ll automatically be entered in a draw to win a private custom tour for 10.
