If you’re a fan of craft cocktails, then chances are high you know more than a few names joining the BC Distilled festival this April. The event, which had to take a breather these past couple of years, is coming back and better than ever! Here’s a quick rundown.

Having only started in 2014, BC Distilled quickly became a must-visit event for enthusiasts. Even more so for local brands, and soon, the festival was the largest of its kind in Canada! And while it didn’t happen in-person these past two years, the excitement around it has remained.

For this go around, a whopping 30 distilleries and exhibitors have joined in, offering over 140 different spirits available to check out. What’s more, the names range from local heavyweights (Odd Society, Resurrection and Sons of Vancouver are all on there) to names that, frankly, we’ve never even heard of before!

But that’s exactly the point of the event. And, for one day only, you’ll have unfettered access to all of it. One thing’s for sure- whatever you end up tasting, you’ll walk out of there with some new recipes, sure, but also a whole new appreciation of our local distillery scene!

This niche but amazing event will be coming to Vancouver on Saturday, April 9th.
