The battle of the sours is on! This annual event challenges choice breweries to bring their best brew of a select style to the table. Whose sour will reign supreme for 2017? You’ll be the judge of that. We strip the fancy branding and name recognition and get down to the raw taste of a good brew. With only tasting notes, alcohol percentage and IBU, attendees are encouraged to try a sample (or two, or three) of each featured beer throughout the evening before casting their vote for their favourite. A DJ, passed plates and interesting stories and anecdotes from our MCs help to round out the event. At the end of the night, we unveil each brew and crown the champion of the sours. This cannot-miss evening is a favourite of the 60 #WVBF2017 breweries, you won’t want to miss it!

This year’s event will celebrate eight of BC's best breweries, showcasing some creative cask beers! Come join beer enthusiasts and pick your favourite cask.
