Vancouver Craft Beer Week Kicks Off Today

Today marks the start of Canada's first ever beer week as the Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW) kicks off today and will run until the 16th.  The VCBW organizers have put together a very impressive list of events, and based on their Twitter and Facebook postings, the event has attracted a lot of attention with many of the scheduled events either sold out or are about too.

There are 25+ breweries involved and 20+ venues, and as the organizing committee state on the website - no crap beer.  Also, there was a special beer (VCBW Collaboration Ale - West Coast Abbey Ale) brewed just for the VCBW that will be available at select locations throughout the week.  A special cask version will be tapped by Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson tonight at 6pm to officially kick off the week.

Head to the VCBW website and browse through their event listings.

Here is the 'I Am A Canadian Craft Brewer' video once again that was put together by the VCBW.
