She will share stories from Brewery Creek, where much of the Vancouver beer industry first emerged in Mount Pleasant - including the brewery that opened its doors where Main Street Brewing is now. Enjoy a pint or flight while learning about what Vancouver's beer industry looked like before "Big Beer" rang the death knell for independent brewing - the personalities, the politics, and the partying.
