Best patios in North and West Vancouver

Welcome to the second annual craft beer week on Vancouver’s North Shore! This October 19-26, we toast the North Shore’s legendary past in brewing and our bright future with a week of celebrations at our local breweries.

The North Shore has a rich history of craft brewing having been home to Canada’s first ever microbrewery – Horseshoe Bay Brewery in 1982. Now, we play host to six craft (soon to be nine!) breweries leading the way in tasty beers.

Try special casks, attend fun events, and learn more about North Shore beers while collecting stamps on our North Shore Ale Trail Passport on the Xplorer app to win our grand prize!

Kick off the celebrations at our launch party at the Pipe Shop on October 19th in collaboration with North Shore Green Markets. Enjoy craft beers from North Shore breweries present and future, get a taste of the Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week Collab Brew, enjoy live music presented by Musos Entertainment, tasty food trucks, photobooth and lots of fun!
