Here’s everything you need to know about the event.
THE BEER
It wouldn’t be a craft beer and wilderness retreat without craft beer! For the retreat's first year, there will be 5 taps featuring the finest B.C. craft beer available alongside limited edition brews and maybe even some secret surprises. Featured on-site brewers include Townsite Brewing, Category 12 Brewing and Four Winds Brewing. Responsible drinking is strongly encouraged.
THE FOOD

The entire menu will be specifically created to complement craft beer. Oyster bar, charcuterie, smoked brisket, shellfish and local goodies will all be available. Lighter fare will be served (if that’s your thing). The grand finale will be a beer and food pairing evening hosted by the brewers themselves.
THE FUN
