Bad Tattoo Brewing is offering craft beer enthusiasts a chance to bone up on their knowledge prior to a record number of breweries coming to town for the Fest of Ale.
Learn about B.C.’s craft beer revolution while enjoying a range of beer samples at Bad Tattoo Brewing on April 7.
Host Joe Wiebe, the Thirsty Writer, will talk about the history of craft beer in B.C. from 1858 through to the start of the microbrewing movement in 1982 up to the present — and into the future.
As part of the seminar, Joe will also lead you on a guided tour through a range of B.C. beers that each represent an important moment in the province’s craft beer history, providing tasting tips and suggestions for further craft beer explorations. At the end of the event, he will answer any and all questions you might have about craft beer in B.C.
The $25 ticket includes five beer samples served during the event. Each attendee also gets one free pint of a special collaborale cask called Sloppy Joe, produced by all the local Penticton and Oliver breweries.
Personalized and autographed copies of the completely revised second edition of Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries will be available for sale ($20) as well. The event starts at 7 p.m.
