Mount Revelstoke National Park is just north of the town. The Revelstoke Mountain Resort is a major ski resort on Mount MacKenzie that started construction in late 2005, and first opened during the 2007-2008 ski season and has been welcoming winter and outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world ever since. So, what’s better than a ski trip out to Revelstoke? How about a ski trip to Revelstoke when a craft beer and spirits festival happening on the mountain? Well, that is what recently happened on April 5th and 6th, as craft beer and spirits enthusiasts headed to the Revelstoke Mountain Resort for Alberta Beer Festival Inc.’s sophomore year of the Revelstoke Beer Festival. Affectionately. called the Revy Beer Festival, that was recently held for two days, with
three ticketed event options, one evening session on Friday and two sessions, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening, on Saturday. Each ticket included a gondola ride to the mid-mountain lodge of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, where you’d be hard-pressed to find a more stunning view than the one, you’ll get from the deck of the valley below. You might be coming for the beer – but we recommend that in between sampling some of the best craft beer and spirits from the amazing selection of breweries, distilleries, meaderies, and RTDs (Ready to Drink) you take some time to visit the deck to take in the majestic views. ABF Inc’s Revy Beer Festival will have a wide selection of amazing breweries, distilleries, meaderies and RTDs (Ready to Drink beverages) for you to sample like Banded Peak Brewing, a craft brewery located in Calgary, Alberta plus Cold Garden Beverage Company, a microbrewery crafting great beer, and, and even better vibes from the historic Calgary neighborhood of Inglewood, Alberta. Plus Revelstoke’s very own award-winning craft brewery Mt. Begbie Brewing Co which have all been featured in Spotlight on Business Magazine along with Alberta Beer Festival Inc. If you missed Revy, we recommend that you get it on your list for next year to experience two amazing days of sampling a fantastic selection of craft beverages and food prepared by the incredible chefs at Revelstoke Mountain
