Taste the difference that wood-aging makes in a wide range of beer styles, including sours, Brett-conditioned beers, barley wines, imperial stouts, wild ales, and others.
This is the geekiest beer geek event we’ve got! Last year we had 30+ beers on offer, including some special bottles that breweries dug out of their private cellars just for this event! We moved it to the weekend to reflect the “big beer” theme. The VPM’s food vendors will be serving up their own masterpieces to go along with these special beers, and an on-site liquor store will have a wide range of these special beers available for purchase.
All About The Wood is generously sponsored by the Victoria Public Market
