Gone are the days when showing up at an indoor party with a case of Budweiser would be considered socially acceptable. In British Columbia, craft beer is one of the most successful, and ever-growing industries. It’s so popular in fact, that trying to pick a single brewery, or a brewery-focused neighbourhood is nearly impossible. Let the pros do it for you and book yourself a beer tour! Whether you’re a local needing to step up your craft beer game, or a tourist wanting to get familiar with Metro Vancouver’s brewery culture, taking a beer tour is the ideal way to experience it all.
