Vancouver Craft Beer Week held the Craft Beer, Music & Wing Fest with a new flavour-packed, dedicated Wing Fest. Held at the PNE Fairgrounds, the event brought together craft beer lovers, food enthusiasts, and live music fans for a high-energy, all-day party.
The outdoor setup had a casual, open-air feel, with rows of brewery tents pouring everything from IPAs and sours to natural wines, ciders, and zero-proof drinks. I really enjoyed the Temperance Bonnie from Sea Cider House.
The Wing Fest component added a distinct culinary focus. Local chefs and restaurants showcased bold wing creations, with options ranging from classic hot to inventive fusion flavours. Highlights included BBQ Caramel Chili Crunch Wings by CHOP SUEY CHOW CLUB and fish sauce wings from DD Mau. Other vendors offered juicy smash burgers, skewers, and shareable eats that balanced well with the drinks on offer.
Live music brought steady energy throughout the day. Artists like The Moss and Harbour kept the crowd moving between sips and bites. Guests could take part in lawn games, take in the photo ops and more.
For craft beer fans and food lovers alike, this edition of VCBW offered an easygoing outing of good drinks, craveable wings, and great music.
