VANCOUVER CRAFT BEER WEEK MAY 18-26, 2012
Brewing’s Brothers & Sisters
O
n Thursday, May 24th, Vancouver Craft Beer Week will feature two events dedicated to the lads and ladies of craft beer.
As the opening act of the evening, Brothers in Hops is an event where four of the Pacific Northwest’s best brewers are getting together to show that yes indeed, craft brewing is a brotherhood. Who are these four brewers? Ben Love of Portland’s Gigantic Brewing, Gary Lohin of Surrey’s Central City Brewing, Jaime Floyd of Eugene’s Ninkasi brewing, and Graham With of Vancouver’s newest craft brewery: Parallel 49. Each of them is known for their hop-forward creations and is sure to deliver an amaz-
ing night of brotherly love. Tickets to this event st Smiley’s Public House are all inclusive. Headlining the event is one of VCBW’s most beloved events, Sisters of the Tap, formerly known as Women and Beer. This event will feature eight of BC’s finest ladies in brewing, along with their beers, and five courses complimenting the different styles and personalities of each of those beers. Hosted at Top Chef Canada Dale Mackay’s newest restaurant, ensemble Tap, he and executive chef Brad Hendrickson will thoughtfully pair the dinner courses to five of the beers, while the other three will be for the mingling portions of the evening. As with Brothers in Hops, this event is all inclusive.
TICKETS FOR BOTH THESE EVENTS CAN BE FOUND AT: www.vancouvercraftbeerweek.com/2012/events/thursday-may-24th-2012
