Oh and for those of you who checked out the website the day I first posted the news...check again. There are now multiple events on every one of the days, probably 25+ at this point.

Yeah, they coulda cut that down to a 30 second spot and it would have been better...but still, pretty great.

Yaletown has some solid brews, I really enjoyed the IPA and stout (the urban pricing isn't great though, I hear it jumped up dring the Olympics).

Yeah, they're getting tons of media coverage. I probably won't make it into the city, but I hope to hit up one of the Central City dinners.

Woah.
Everything about VCBW looked aweseome. I think I have the entire month of May off next year, so it's definitely an event(s) I hope to attend.
