BC Hop Fest is all set to start off BC Craft Beer Month with a bunch of great beer and great people! This unique annual event brings together the best of British Columbia’s rapidly growing craft breweries and hop products of all kinds. This year, we welcome hop lovers to enjoy the offerings of 40 dif- ferent breweries, of which many use fresh Sumas Prairie grown hops so you can’t get much more “fresh” and local than that!

Eat and drink among hops still on the bine, kick up your heels to live music, talk to your favorite brew master, and join us in celebrating the hop harvest at BC Hop Fest 2018. The BC Craft Brewers Guild rep- resents craft brewers from all over BC. Some are small and others smaller, but they all brew flavorful local beer with passion and dedication. The mission of the guild is to support the ongoing creation and discovery of truly great BC Craft Beer. BC Hop Company Ltd. is dedicated to supporting family farms through the world class processing and distri- bution of high quality BC grown hops to brewers, culinary experts, and hop heads everywhere!
