16th March - another sell-out!
2024 Cariboo Craft Beer Festival 16th March
We wanted to move our Festival back to the spring so as to flow better with events happening in neighbouring Prince George (Kiwanis Ale Fest) and Williams Lake (Williams Lake Craft Beer Festival) so a bit of a gap since our 2022 Festival.
Also a change of venue, to the atrium of the Quesnel campus of the College of New Caledonia.
Seven breweries, two cideries...the pictures tell the story!
As usual, we invited our Festival attendees to vote of their Favourite Beers:
Silver: Bramble Raspberry Vanilla Wheat Ale by Trench Brewing (a repeat on their 2022 showing)
Gold: Black Forest Stout by Casker & Cleaver Brewing...their second Gold in as many of our Festivals
Some of the net proceeds raised have already been invested in a Squiggles Stander for Quesnel & District Child Development Centre. We have also awarded grants to InSong Youth Choir ($1,170 to acquire and copy music for an upcoming Conference in Quesnel, and for use after) and Quesnel Search & Rescue ($3,000 to purchase a portable Power Pack).
We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to support these community groups, made possible entirely through the support of Festival sponsors and attendees. Thank you.
