NCBW 2020: Bruges Brothers

Nanaimo Craft Beer Week is going dubbel or nothing to bring the taste of Belgium to BC!

Our honorary Bruges Brothers will share what makes Belgian beer unique, complex, and delicious during an evening of beer samples and stories at the Lucky’s Liquor Store mezzanine.

Brother #1: Townsite Brewing (Powell River) brewing engineer Cédric Dauchot was born in Belgium and graduated from L’institut Meurice in Brussels in 2004 with an engineering degree in the science of brewing. In Canada, the affable Cedric has introduced many craft beer fans to Belgian beer styles through Townsite’s highly-regarded lineup of oud bruins, saisons, dubbels, triples, and quadrupels.

Brother #2: Joe Wiebe – Thirsty Writer is a gregarious public speaker, beer judge, Victoria Beer Society director, and one of BC’s most well-known beer writers. While many beer fans have followed his travels throughout BC for his book, Craft Beer Revolution, Joe will discuss Belgian beer history and the development of Belgian beer styles.

We’re incredibly excited for this rare opportunity to bring Cedric and Joe to Nanaimo to honour the Belgian brewing tradition. After this session, my Liège, it won’t take much until Brussels sprouts up in your mind the next time you Ghent decide what beer to try!

Tickets: $20, which includes a curated selection of classic Belgian beer and Belgian-inspired BC beer samples. Beer list to be published closer to the event.

Tickets available in advance beginning on Saturday, January 11 at 9 AM at www.nanaimocraftbeer.com. You must be 19+ to attend.
