The week opens with Lift Off! on Friday, March 6 — a special night featuring 16 brand new beers — and closes with Saturday Night Casks on March 14, both at the Victoria Public Market, which has served as VBW’s headquarters since its launch in 2014.

New events include Publican’s Picks: A Beer Paired Dinner with Paul Hadfield at Spinnakers Brewpub that includes a screening of a documentary about the early days of the microbrewery movement that includes footage of Spinnakers from 1987; the Street Eats Brewery Tour hosted by West Coast Brewery Tours; and Lager Than Life, a special event celebrating the wide world of underrated and underappreciated lagers.

Food and beer lovers can get their fill at Taco Tuesday and/or the Brewmasters Brunch, hosted
