From May 20 to 22, scientists and researchers across 24 countries will be sharing their discoveries with the general public over a beer in their local pub or craft brewery. Join us!

Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s (KPU) Brewing department will be hosting two events — May 21 at Trading Post Brewing and May 22 at the KPU Brew Lab — featuring scientists from KPU’s Biology, Chemistry and Physics departments.

No science background necessary! These events will be fun, casual and informative. There will be trivia games and prizes, as well as lots of Q&A. Both events are FREE to attend but guests are required to pre-register and are responsible for purchasing their own food and alcohol.
