Whistler, B.C. – Tourism Whistler is excited to announce the return of Whistler Craft Beer Month this October. After the successful inaugural celebration last year, Tourism Whistler is once again partnering with the Resort Municipality of Whistler and Gibbons Whistler to curate a full 31 days of craft beer programming around the resort.
“Whistler has a long-standing history of celebrating food and drink through the fall, and with two local breweries located right in Whistler, our community has a passion for craft beer we love to share with our visitors,” says Karen Goodwin vice president of destination and market development at Tourism Whistler. “Whistler Craft Beer Month will bring together over 30 community partners to offer more than 50 beer-themed experiences for craft beer lovers to enjoy this October.”
Highlights from Whistler’s Craft Beer Month schedule include beer-infused dinners, Tap Takeovers, Sip N’ Stretch yoga, bootycamp & beers and Beer Bingo. Full details are available at whistler.com/craftbeermonth.
“Health and safety remain top of mind in Whistler as we put together our Craft Beer Month programming,” adds Goodwin. “All venues and experiences are following COVID-19 safety protocols and provincial health orders.”
After the busy summer season, fall is a special time in Whistler when the resort is quieter and moving at a slower pace. Craft Beer Month offers guests a unique way to savour this special season that pairs perfectly with the many activities and cultural experiences available in Whistler through the fall.
