This weekend marks the start of every beer drinker’s favourite “holiday”, Oktoberfest! Unfortunately for this year, Vancouver’s biggest celebration of the season–Harvest Haus–is closed until 2019. They’ve got big plans for next year and we’re already excited…
However, don’t hang up your lederhosen just yet, there are several other events being held for Oktoberfest in Vancouver to give you an excuse to raise your glass in a Prōst to the season.
