About this event
Farmhouse Fest returns Saturday August 10th, 2024 at UBC Farm. Since 2015, the festival is a specialty Craft Beer & Cider event in Vancouver BC celebrating Saison, Sour, Lambic, Wild Ale, & Cider.
Early Entry Ticket pours start 12:30pm (we'll let you in before this to get settled)
General Admission Ticket entry is 1:30pm
Pouring stops 6:30pm - Event ends 7:00pm
All Inclusive* Tickets, no drink tokens!
Breweries and Cider Makers are celebrated from all around BC, Canada, USA, and Europe.
Funky, Sour, Dry, Fruity, Complex - the styles you’ll find at Farmhouse Fest are made with a focus on tradition and time. Mixed fermentation products are given the proper space to evolve in barrels and foudres, and develop into something that might just blow your mind.
From classic Saisons, Fruited Barrel Aged Sours, to spontaneously fermented Lambic, and Ciders - there is something here for everyone!
To mix it up there will be some fun selections of Natural Wine, Kombucha, and plenty of ‘off-style’ beers to take a break from the wild and funky.
Farmhouse Fest gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia. And it couldn’t happen without our amazing host venue, UBC Farm.
Cheers!
