Great Canadian Beer Festival returns September 6 & 7, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tuesday, May 28th, 2019, Victoria, BC — The Great Canadian Beer Festival will return to Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, BC, on Friday, September 6 and Saturday, September 7, 2019. This year’s festival is the 27th annual GCBF — the first year under the new management of the Victoria Beer Society following the handover from the original founders who retired last fall.
“We are so excited to have this opportunity to put a fresh spin on Canada’s longest running craft beer festival,” says Joe Wiebe, a cofounder and spokesperson for the Victoria Beer Society. “The lineup of breweries will be better than ever, including many coming from across Canada.”
Up to 4,500 people are expected to attend this celebration of craft beer each day. This year’s festival will feature a diverse range of more than 60 craft breweries from British Columbia along with local cideries and food trucks. The BC Ale Trailer will also be onsite serving a selection of beers from breweries that are unable to make the trip to Victoria. Expect an expanded array of breweries from across Canada to be announced in late June.

VBS members can purchase tickets before everyone else and receive a 25% discount on Single Day Friday & Saturday Tickets.
