A new craft beer festival, Fruit Beer Festival, launches this summer in Abbotsford at Jubilee Park, with beers made exclusively with bush fruits and tree fruits.
West Craft, the organizer behind Fruit Beer Festival, is promising an all-inclusive drink commitment with tickets, live music by Tourist Company and the Wild Romantics, a ton of food vendors with a pop-up farmers market. “We’re regular attendees of both Abbotsford’s Farm Market and Vancouver’s Riley Park Farm Market and we imagined a beer festival inside of a farmers market – due to liquor laws a beer festival has to be 19+ - so we turn to putting on Fruit Beer Festival to help support local fruit producers while doing something delicious that hasn’t been done in Canada," says Mike Willis, of West Craft.
Featuring over 25 different beers from over 15 breweries from the Northwest and beyond, the Fruit Beer Festival is a celebration of the wonderful variety of flavours that fruits offer and the incredible and unique beers that the brewers can make with them. The event also includes food from Big Day BBQ, Downlow Chicken Shack and Fraser Valley Micro Greens, and an on-site liquor store from Legacy Liquor Store.
