PUBS, PATIOS & BARS: Vancouver beer fest spreads its wings

The largest craft beer event in British Colombia’s Lower Mainland is set to return for its 11th year. Taking place July 9 and 10 at the PNE, the Vancouver Craft Beer and Music Festival promises a bigger and better festival, featuring not just beer, but more music, food, and fun.

While craft beer remains the cornerstone of the festival, Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW) 2022 will be a celebration of so much more. Breweries from BC and beyond, a lineup of notable Canadian artists, local art displays, and some of the city’s best chef pop-ups and food trucks will make for an immersive, lively two-day event for local and visiting beer and music fans.

“Looking to the future, VCBW is no longer only for the beer aficionado,” says Dax Droski. “While lovers of craft brews have played an instrumental role in making this event the summer staple it is today, now is the time for VCBW to welcome everyone, including the entire spectrum of beer drinkers.”

While the latter will still find over 150 craft beers and ciders to sample from over 60 participating breweries and cideries from around the world, festival attendees can also immerse themselves in two-days of jam-packed music from some of Canada’s top artists, including Bedouin Soundclash, Half Moon Run, Titus Bank, and Skratch Bastid.

The VCBW Craft Beer & Music Festival will take place at the PNE Fairgrounds, 2901 East Hastings St., Vancouver from 2 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10.

General admission tickets start at $30, $70 for VIP, and $49 for a two-day pass. The cashless event will also use pre-paid wristbands with embedded payment tags. For tickets info tickets, visit HERE.
