We had such a successful and amazing first BC Craft Beer Month – I think we are all very sad to see it come to an end…

But don’t worry!  There are plenty of events coming up this Fall and Winter, so keep checking the CAMRA Event Calendar for updates.

 

Here are a few big ones that are coming up in the next in few weeks:

 

BrewVic Homebrewing Club – Inaugural Meeting
November 5, 2011 @ 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Sean Hoyne has very generously offered to host our ‘Learn to homebrew day’ meeting in his parking lot behind the brewery . At the meeting, we’ll be brewing at least one all-grain brew, sharing the fruits of the brewing sessions at this year’s GCBF, and talking about what the club is all about. There will be burgers by donation, and there will be a couple short presentations on homebrewing. Whether you’ve never brewed before or are an award winning brewmaster we’d love to see you out to support the new group.
Hoyne Brewing, 101-2740 Bridge Street, Victoria BC
More details from John at Basement Breweries, and on Facebook.  Also check out the new BrewVic website here.
