Craft beer has never been bigger in Vancouver. One needs to look no further for confirmation of this than the 5th annual Vancouver Craft Beer Week, which goes down from May 30 to June 7th. With 21 events and over 60 breweries, this nine day celebration of fermentation has become the official kickoff to summer for the beer nerd faithful. This year, they’ve seen fit to push the festival boundaries with a hip hop-flavoured theme. Don’t believe us? Press play on the ridiculous promo video above and behold some of the illest white guys in the local brewing scene…

Below you’ll find VCBW web and social media digits together with a linked up list of events that stand out for us. Get busy and snag your tickets before they all sell out!
