Vancouver, B.C., Nov. 20, 2018—Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW) is gearing up for its 10th annual celebration of craft beer and craft culture, and to honour this milestone, it’s releasing a limited number of specially priced tickets for the highly anticipated VCBW Festival, taking place June 8 and 9, 2019, at the PNE Fairgrounds. To celebrate 10 years of beer, VCBW is offering admission for only $10 for the first 100 beer-lovers to purchase tickets for each day of the festival. Once they’re gone, holiday pricing will kick in at $29 for single day tickets, and $45 for a weekend pass (regularly priced at $39 and $65, respectfully). Discounted tickets can be purchased at VancouverCraftBeerWeek.com, while supplies last, from Nov. 22, 2018, through to Dec. 31, 2018.

Named Social Event of the Year at the 2018 Golden Owl Awards, the VCBW Festival offers two days of outdoor entertainment including live music, games, food trucks and access to more than 100 craft breweries and cideries, pouring 300+ beers and ciders.
