Taking place on Saturday, Aug. 13, 2022 at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, Fruit Beer Fest will feature dozens of high-profile craft brewers and others pouring beers, ciders, and wines made with regionally-grown fruits. And if you’re there to keep a fruit beer fan company but don’t love the category yourself, don’t fret – organizers assure that there will be plenty more on offer, like lagers and barrel-aged beers.

Over 30 breweries have already been announced for Fruit Beer Fest, including local faves like 33 Acres Brewing, Container Brewing, Field House Brewing, Another Beer Co., House of Funk Brewing, Superflux, and Studio Brewing, including Vermont’s Hill Farmstead Brewery, Seattle’s MIRAGE and Fair Isle Brewing, and New York’s Equilibrium Brewery. More are being added in the lead-up to the big day.

In addition to the drinks, Fruit Beer Fest attendees can also kick back in the sunshine on the Swangard field and enjoy “scrumptious food” as well as live music.

Fruit Beer Fest is put on by West Craft, the beer supply biz behind more suds-centric events like Hopwired and the soon-to-be-unleashed Prost, celebrating beers and European-style hot dogs.
