Vancouver Craft Beer Week started in 2010 at a small venue in Vancouver hosting about 100 Vancouver beer aficionados and 15 British Columbia and Vancouver breweries. Over the past 9 years, it has evolved from Canada’s first-ever craft beer week into a cultural engine that showcases music, food, art, and craft beer at events across the city over 10 days starting the last Friday in May every year.

In addition to this annual celebration of craft beer and cider, VCBW champions a number of community driven and charitable events throughout the year. Some of our partner events include Beer Wars, Vancouver Mural Festival, and Beer Can Derby.
