B.C. beer festival highlights coming up for fall 2015 On The Coast beer columnist Rebecca Whyman has her picks for the best festivals this year By On The Coast, CBC News Posted: Sep 15, 2015 5:00 PM PT Last Updated: Sep 15, 2015 5:00 PM PT Rebecca Whyman also stopped by to taste some Rhubarb Wit from Big Rock Brewery. She described it as "a classic witbier aged with rhubarb to lend a hint of tartness to subtle notes of orange peel and spice. Unfiltered and delicate."

here are my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio's on the coast: As we head into Fall, the crunching you hear won't just be the leaves under your feet - it may well be the liver of a craft beer lover cracking under the pressure of keeping up with all the fabulous craft beer events in September and October!  And this is by no means an exhaustive listing - there are always so many great beer events on the go, it's hard to keep track of them - and don't even try to get to them all - you'd need to be Hermione Granger to succeed. Start with this past weekend's Great Canadian Beer Festival in Victoria, and end with the BC Beer Awards on October 24th, filling in events every single weekend in between, and you've got a recipe for a sprained liver.  And a really great two months! Both Stephen and I had the pleasure of attending the Great Canadian Beer Festival this year.  This festival is always a well-organized two days of beer tasting.  And f...

i was a little better about taking photos this weekend i actually got one selfie and a couple of festival shots go me!   whistler beer fest is a whole lotta fun but a festival for beer nerds it is not they don't provide rinse water for the pourers, there's no listing of beers to try on the plus side it sure is pretty! because there was no beer guide, i didn't keep track of the beers i tried i do remember trying bomber's new choqlette porter - delicious and quite a few imported american beers that you just don't get here regularly like oskar blues will i go again next year? i think that i will - it was good times indeed will i go for the whole weekend? you know, i think i just might (i was only there for saturday overnight this year)

here are my notes from yesterday's beer column on cbc radio's on the coast with stephen quinn: Get out your calendars and mark down these beer festival dates! There are beer festivals all year round, but right now is a particularly rife season, just thick with festivals here in BC, and it is not entirely due to Oktoberfests!   There’s the Great Canadian Beer festival in Victoria, the BC Beer Awards, Whistler Beer Festival, Yaletown Brewpub's Caskival, Harrison Beer Festival, Powell River Oktoberfest and Bomber Brewing’s Oktoberfest just to name a few. There are definitely elements that are common to all beer festivals – drinking beer for starters – but there are differences, which is why you can’t just say you’ve been to a beer festival and now you’re done.   Some beer festivals have a theme – like Oktoberfest or casks – some are big, some are small, some are about beer and food pairings – like Vancouver’s Brewery and the Beast meat and beer feast – some are hel...
