1 published event in Whistler · updated hourly

Whistler's biggest craft-beer date is the annual Whistler Village Beer Festival each September, anchored at Whistler Olympic Plaza and stretching into village-wide programming across the week. Local breweries like Whistler Brewing and Coast Mountain host year-round taproom events, and the Sea to Sky corridor between Vancouver and Whistler (with Squamish's Backcountry Brewing and A-Frame Brewing partway) makes for a natural brewery road-trip weekend.
