One of Southwest Washington’s most exciting craft beer festivals is returning to Vancouver, Washington on August 12th-14th, and if you’ve never attended this wonderful Pacific Northwest event as we have, you’ve been missing out on something special.

Why We Never Miss It

The Vancouver Brewfest isn’t one of those generic festivals populated with seemingly random beer tents and un-crafty brewers. The beer here gets serious and they showcase breweries that really matter. 

Almost fifty of the region’s most cutting-edge breweries will be participating this year and the diversity of the brewers at this three-day celebration is part of what makes the Vancouver Brewfest so much fun.

Yes, the craft beer majors will all be there….

Seattle’s Elysian Brewing will be debuting the first of the renowned 2016 Pumpkin releases. And Newport, Oregon’s Rogue Ales will be serving up a limited edition IPA brewed with four hops that were specially grown on their private farm, just for this beer.

But there will also be a wonderful array of buzzy craft beer trend-setters.

And Portland’s innovative Hopworks Urban Brewery will be showcasing a new year-round Gear Up IPA that’s brewed with naturally filtered waters from the region’s Bull Run watershed and dry-hopped with local hop varieties from Oregon and Washington.

In addition to great food, live music and crafty vendors to browse, there will also be an artisan selection of special regional ciders.  

This year, Bear Pong  life-sized beer pong tournaments, are returning for a second time as the “official game” of the 2016 Vancouver Brewfest. And there will be Bear Pong tournaments taking place daily, where you can win big prizes and impress your friends with your athletic dexterity! Sponsored by Ben’s Bottle Shop

And as if more craft beer cred were needed, Great Western Malting, the oldest malting company in the western United States, is now a festival presenter.

If you’re one of the over 6,000 craft beer fans who’ve already attended a Vancouver Brewfest, you’re already familiar with the charms of downtown Vancouver’s Esther Short Park which, once again, will be home to the festival.  With a distinctive clock tower as its centerpiece, this 5-acre gem in the heart of the city is the oldest public square in the state of Washington. And unlike so many festivals that can sometimes take place in uninspired locations like parking lots, this is a wonderful spot to enjoy hours of drinking with friends
