Nothing says holiday spirit like craft beer. Well, office parties and mistletoe might be a close second.
If you’re wondering what’s happening at Vancouver breweries, here are a few special events this month.
Gingerbread House Workshop (Dec. 16, 2-5 p.m., Strange Fellows, 1345 Clark Dr.)—Get a crew together and drink some beer while you assemble your own gingerbread house. Materials include gingerbread pieces, frosting, candy, board, and a box to bring it home in, and are provided by Whipped and & Beaten Bakeshop. RSVP here.
Brawnywine 2.0—A Barleywine Festival (Dec. 16 at Parallel 49, 1950 Triumph Ave.)—Sample barleywines and strong ales from Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom, Persephone Brewing Company, Driftwood Brewery, Brasserie Dieu-du-Ciel and more. Host brewery Parallel 49 is also pouring four of their own barleywines/strong ales, including Crown Jewels, the brewery’s 2019 Barleywine.
Canadian Tuxedo New Years Party (Dec. 31 at Electric Bicycle, 20 E. 4th Ave)—What is a Canadian Tuxedo? It’s all denim—jean jacket and jeans, and it’s what all the cool kids will be wearing come New Year’s Eve at Electric Bicycle. Ticket prices includes a 16oz beer of your choice and “a personal party size poutine.” (Tickets $20 at eventbrite.ca)
