add to outlook add to google calendar remind me

Tuesday, March 10th, 2015
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

We invite you to the Drake Eatery for an evening of storytelling paired with beer and food, hosted by the Thirsty Writer, Joe Wiebe.

Over the course of the night, you’ll hear three renowned BC brewers tell the story behind their breweries and one of their beers, offering insight into some of their inspiration, frustration, education and craft. Each story will be followed by a question period and some casual socializing.

In tandem with each story, attendees will receive a 12oz serving of the beer being discussed, offering everyone the opportunity to connect with what the brewer is talking about – everyone in the room will be enjoying the same beer at the same time, “drinking in the story,” so to speak. The Drake Eatery will also prepare a paired food sample to go along with each beer and story.

Guest Speakers

    David Bowkett from Powell Street Brewery
    Ben Coli from Dageraad Brewing
