Raise a glass (or a few) to the 23rd annual Hopscotch Festival. The multi-day celebration of whiskey, spirits, and beer is promising a bigger and better slate of programming and participants for 2018, including workshops, dinners, and the grand tasting events.

Taking place November 19 to 25 at various venues across Vancouver, Hopscotch Festival offers masterclasses, spirit-pairing dinners, tastings, and more for enthusiasts and geeks who really love whiskies. Zero in on regional flavours, or get primed with a basics course, and of course, do some serious sipping.
The premiere event is the Grand Tasting, which takes up 50,000 square feet at the PNE Forum, and over two evenings gives attendees access to spirits, whiskies, wine, and craft beers, as well as the chance to learn about what they're tasting, and enjoy food from on-site special vendors. There will be live music, an onsite liquor store, and more.
Some of the individual events have sold out, and considering the popularity of Hopscotch, we can expect the rest to, as well.
