vancouver craft beer week

we're making history here folks - vancouver's first ever craft brew week is almost upon us!

more than 25 breweries participating at over 20 venues - and no crappy beer!

from the website:  "Vancouver Craft Beer Week is a celebration taking place throughout metropolitan Vancouver from May 10 – 16, 2010. It aims to inspire a broader interest in all aspects of beer in order to cultivate a flourishing craft beer culture in the region. VCBW consists of a series of signature festival events and independently-organized satellite events in numerous venues around town."

there are fabulous events all week long, some of which still have tickets available, or don't require tickets.  delightfully for the event, but not for those of us who don't yet have tickets, several events at this inaugural event are sold out.

the night I am going to cry about missing out on because its now sold out is the women and beer night on thursday.  along with amazing food and beer pairings they are also featuring the following speakers:
  • Aly Tomlin, Operation manager, R&B Brewing
  • Becky Julseth, Co-owner, Saltspring Island Ales
  • Claire Connolly, Brewer, Turning Point Brewery
  • Leslie Fenn, Owner and Director, Howe Sound Brewing
  • Patt Dyck, Co-Owner, Cannery Brewing
  • Rebecca Kneen, Co-owner and assistant brewer, Crannog Ales
i can't believe i didn't hear about this amazing event sooner.  i might just have to go and see if someone doesn't show up and i can get in... or maybe i'll get tickets to another event and drown my sorrows in an equally delightful night of beer and food.

i do have tickets to the four beers and a funeral pub crawl on saturday afternoon, and the craft beer tasting that night - that's 12 whole hours of beer - yay!  i just hope that i can remain clear-headed enough to remember each of the beers i am going to try.

i am so excited for this blessed event.  how can i distract myself until next week?
