BC Ale Trail Introduces Virtual Hoppy Hour
Weekly event aimed to connect people and support local craft brewers
Vancouver, BC (April 1, 2020) As Canadians continue to adjust to staying home to flatten the curve, the BC Ale Trail hopes to bring people together, if only virtually.
Starting Thursday, April 2nd, BC Ale Trail is launching the Virtual Hoppy Hour. Running every Thursday from 6 – 7 pm PST. Virtual Hoppy Hour is a way to connect with people from the comfort of their own home while enjoying and supporting their local craft brewers.
“This is an unprecedented time, and while staying home and physical distancing is the right thing to do, we wanted to come up with a way to bring people together,” says Monica Frost, BC Ale Trail Project Manager. “The hope of this weekly event is that it will bring a sense of community and levity for everyone, if only for an hour.”
