In 2005, Tony Dewald (now of Trading Post Brewing) was the brewer at DIX BBQ & Brewery, and Warren Boyer was President of the fledgling beer enthusiasts’ group, CAMRA Vancouver.

Random provides a look back at CAMRA Vancouver’s early days at the legendary DIX BBQ & Brewery, and the eventual loss marked by Four Beers & A Funeral.
