Royal City Craft Beer Revolution kicks off LitFest New West 2016 on Friday, May 13 at the New Westminster Public Library.
This is a 19-plus ticketed event for beer lovers and those interested in the history of brew culture in New Westminster and beyond.
Royal City Craft Beer Revolution will be hosted by CBC’s Stephen Quinn. The event will feature Joe Wiebe, the Thirsty Writer and author of Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries, who will talk about the ‘then and now’ of brew culture in and around the Royal City. Engaging your senses, this talk will include tastings from local breweries, included in the price of the ticket.
Participating breweries are Steel & Oak of New Westminster, Dageraad Brewing of Burnaby and Four Winds Brewing from Delta.
Representatives of each brewery will be on hand for the evening to tell us about the brews being offered and also participate in a panel discussion with Joe. Bring your burning questions for the panel about brew culture, the brewing process, and the seemingly infinite variety of beers offered around the Lower Mainland.
This will be the first Library After Hours event and promises to be fun for all who attend.
Event tickets will be $15 and include a special tasting glass and 3 tasting tickets to sample beers from participating breweries. Tickets will go on sale April 21, in person at the library and online through Eventbrite. There will also be a limited number of free tickets that will not include the beer tastings or the tasting glass.
LitFest New West is a celebration of readers and writers and is presented in partnership by the Arts Council of New Westminster, New Westminster Public Library, Douglas College and the Royal City Literary Arts Society.
