The evening begins with a walking tour lead by historian John Atkin through Vancouver’s old warehouse and railway district, now the bustling neighbourhood known as Yaletown. This fascinating tour ends at the Yaletown Brewpub, where John will talk about the history of a 1910 ‘brick and stick’ warehouse upgraded in 2009 to become the home of Yaletown Brewing.
After working up a thirst on the walking tour, Yaletown Brewing Head Brewer Iain Hill will lead a tasting of locally produced craft beers. Served with delicious housemade bar themed snacks, such as bratwurst on a stick, bacon kettle corn and homemade soft pretzels, you’ll learn about what gives each beer its distinctive flavour and how best to pair them. You’ll get to take home an official Yaletown Brewing tasting glass and a coupon for a free beer on your next visit.
