One of the region’s most enjoyable festivals that we’ve attended in the past five or so years has been the Farmhouse Fest in Vancouver, British Columbia. Held on a farm at the University of British Columbia, the backdrop and beers served made for a memorable trip to B.C. back in 2018.
The 2022 edition of Farmhouse Fest is upon us at it returns on Saturday, August 6 from 12:30-6:00pm in Vancouver, B.C. After taking a few years off during the pandemic, organizers are excited to be back at it with an impressive lineup of farmhouse beers and ciders.
All styles from traditional to funky to wild to fruity will be served. There will be mixed fermentation beers that have spent time in barrels and or foudres to bring out the nuances that each brewer is seeking.
Many of the attending breweries are from the Pacific Northwest but there are a handful of European breweries that will also be in attendance. These include Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, Tilquin, and others! It truly is an amazing festival with the perfect atmosphere and backdrop all included.
A few General Admission tickets remain at $123.60 CAD or about $96 USD. Entry includes all beer and cider tastings, plus a custom tasting glass. Tickets may be sold or transferred to someone else at any time prior to the event. There are no refunds. BC Liquor PST is included in ticket price.
