Listen up, foodies. Western Canada’s popular all-you-can-eat-and-drink festival is slated to be bigger and better than ever, and organizers have officially dropped the festival’s food and drink lineup for this year.

With dozens of mouthwatering dishes from celebrated vendors across the province, Brewery & The Beast is the BBQ event of the year. So get ready to have your fill of delicious meat, craft beer, and live music.

“We’re so honoured and grateful that Brewery & the Beast has received so much love,” says Scott Gurney, director of the 17 Black Events team that produces the festival. “This year, we’re focused on making the event better than ever, while maintaining 2022 pricing for our BC events to really recognize the loyalty people have shown us.”
