Whistler Village Beer Festival Main Event

Not to be missed, the Main Event features over 120 beers and ciders to sample, live music, food trucks and more. Weekend General Admission Tickets and Weekend All Access Passes give you access to both Saturday and Sunday. Cheers!
Master Crafters: Holy Grail of Pale Ale
Friday, September 16, 2022
7:30 – 10:30 PM | Longhorn Saloon
Master Crafters, presented by Grimm's Fine Foods, is a blind taste test competition where all the fancy branding is stripped away. Returning for its 5th edition, this year they are on a quest. Choice breweries bring their best pale ale for attendees to sample throughout the evening before casting a vote for their favourite. At the end of the night, each brew is unveiled, and a winner is crowned.
