During the course of the event, which takes place on November 19, guests will move from station to station, sampling the meaty eats, chatting with the chefs, and quenching thirst with brews from these participating spots in Mount Pleasant's Brewery Creek:
- R&B Brewing Co.
- Main Street Brewing Company
- Brassneck Brewery
- Red Truck Beer Company
- Faculty Brewing Co.
- Big Rock Brewery
For something sweet to finish things off, Chef Stephanie French from The Pie Shoppe will be on hand with an Apple Tart with Bacon & Caramel Jam--because dessert is obviously better with bacon.
Food (all 8 stations and dessert) and beer (all 6) samples are included with your ticket price. And you'll be eating your fill for a good cause; organizers say the event is in part a tribute to culinary icon Anthony Bourdain. Swine Out Vancouver will be donating a significant portion of the event's proceeds to The Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention Centre of BC.
