...and luckily I got to be a part of it.
Vancouver Craft Beer Week ran from May 6th to 14th this year and showcased so many of the craft beers (not to mention restaurants, brewmasters, bartenders etc) from around Vancouver, BC and the States.
Unfortunately two of the events I was scheduled to go to during the week were cancelled, but last Thursday I found myself at Women & Beer II at Republic on Granville Street.
The event was exactly as it sounds, beer and women!:
Claire Connolly, Brewer, Big River Brewery Lundy Dale, CAMRA BC Leslie Fenn, Owner and Director, Howe Sound Brewing Monica Frost and Amanda Barry, CAMRA Vancouver Kala Hadfield, Spinnakers Brewpub Becky Julseth, Co-owner, Saltspring Island Ales Heather Kilbourne, Asst.

Pretty excellent evening all around!
