The Beers that Build BC at the Barley Merchant

B E E R H I S T O R Y • A Guided Tasting with Certified Cicerones® from Alaina and Noëlle

WHEN: Saturday, August 22 | 12:30–2:30ish

WHERE: The Barley Merchant Patio

TICKETS: $49 per person, including six 5 oz beer pours, grazing charcuterie & snacks, a fun BC beer history lesson (taxes and gratuity included!)

Before BC craft beer became what it is today, a small group of breweries, brewers, and boundary-pushing beers helped introduce an entirely new drinking culture to the province.

Join the Ladies of the Pint, Noëlle & Alaina, for an intimate guided tasting exploring six influential beers from breweries that helped lay the foundation for BC’s modern craft beer movement.

Throughout the afternoon, you will taste your way through the early days of the BC craft beer renaissance while learning about the breweries, personalities, and stories behind each beer.

The session will explore what made these beers distinctive, how they introduced new styles and flavours to a growing audience, and the role they played in shaping the industry we know today.

This will be more than a beer tasting. It will be a journey through an important chapter of BC beer history, led by two of the province’s most knowledgeable and approachable beer educators.

Space is limited for this event so grab your tickets soon.
