It was yet another incredible Brewery & The Beast! This year’s event welcomed more than 60 of the region’s top chefs and restaurants from Vancouver, Whistler and the Lower Mainland with ingredients sourced from local and regional producers.
Partial proceeds from ticket sales benefited the Chef’s Table Society of BC and the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship Foundation.
Partnering sponsors for Brewery & The Beast include Two Rivers Specialty Meats, Phillips Brewing Co, Whole Foods, Napoleon Gourmet Grills, Open Table, Houweling’s Tomatoes and Kerrisdale Lumber.
New this Year
Unique to this year, The Phillips Brewing Company highlighted the adventurous side of beer with a satellite pouring station where two new craft beers, developed exclusively for Brewery & The Beast Vancouver, were showcased.
Also new to this year’s festival were participating restaurants Pourhouse, Tableau Bar + Bistro, Lil’ Ronnie’s Beachside BBQ (Tofino), Bauhaus, and Bartholomew.
Although Brewery & The Beast has traditionally been a meat-forward festival, the event has integrated new partnerships this year to ensure seafood and local produce are also highlighted.
There was live music by Electric Timber Co, wine from producers local to BC, as well as kombucha tea and specialty coffee options.
