Vancouver’s North Shore Collab Brew
To kick off our epic week of events, House of Funk Brewing will have a full lineup of DJs and a house party menu offering delicious food to celebrate the launch of a very special collab brew on November 4th, 2021! All of the ten Vancouver’s North Shore breweries have come together to create a delicious new, limited edition beer that will be revealed at the House of Funk Brewing event.
ONLYFLANS – VANILLA CARAMEL STOUT – Beere Brewing Company
This one, whose name is jokingly inspired by a modern cultural phenomenon, is for the fans of flans. Beere Brewing Company has brewed a luscious stout with plenty of fancy dark malts, good bourbon vanilla, caramel, and a little milk and sugar.
MEXICAN INSPIRED PORTER – La Cerveceria Astilleros
Taste the delicious brand new, Mexican-inspired ACAN CHUFA – HORCHATA PORTER with notes of vanilla and nuttiness on tap and in 4 packs launching at La Cerveceria Astilleros during Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week. Sip the new flavour and dream of warmer climes while listening to a live mariachi band and top it off with a taco or two at their November 6th event!
ASIAN-INSPIRED CASK – Wildeye Brewing
If you’re looking to experiment with something different, indulge in the worldly flavours of an Asian-inspired Cask Beer at Wildeye Brewing. The brewery is partnering with local Vancouver’s North Shore Restaurant Hachiro Vancouver for a kitchen takeover event during Craft Beer Week so you can pair your Asian-style beer with some tasty Dim Sum.
BAVARIAN LEMON LAGER – Deep Cove Brewers + Distillers
This Deep Cove Brewers +Distillers Helles style Lager is inspired by the lemonade Radler originating from Bavaria, Germany. Fermented with fresh lemons, this beer is a crisp combination of sweet and tart, with subtle bitterness for balance — perfect for pairing with their special Spatzle Mac ‘n’ Cheese and Bratwurst at their Bavarian-inspired Fall Festival on November 9th.
Wherever you choose to go, make sure to ask for a stamp for your BC Ale Trail Brewery Passport at participating breweries when you buy a beer. After six stamps at different breweries, you will receive a branded Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week glass (while supplies last). Collect 10 stamps to be entered to win a grand prize package!
