Zwanze Day at Bells and Whistles

The worldwide phenomenon known as Zwanze Day is making its triumphant return to Fraserhood restaurant and beer hall Bells and Whistles this Saturday, September 28.

Officially launched in 2011, Zwanze Day is an annual celebration that sees less than 100 bars and taprooms around the world selected to showcase a one-off, experimental ‘lambic’-style beer produced especially for the occasion by renowned Belgian brewery Brasserie-Brouwerij Cantillon as part of its ‘Zwanze’ series.

The 2019 Zwanze Day beer is a blend of classic pilsner malt and smoked malt that was brewed on March 1, 2016 and kegged on January 26, 2018. Bells and Whistles is one of only three Canadian locations to participate in the Zwanze Day 2019 celebrations, and will be tapping the only keg of this year’s exclusive Zwanze in Western Canada, along with an array of other lambic beers from Cantillon. The event starts at 10 a.m. and will be first come, first served.
