With about 220 craft breweries across BC, it's no wonder BC is home to one of the world's most packed craft beer festival calendars. Think of it, if there are some 200 breweries and each say pump out at least six varieties, that is roughly 1200 different types of BC craft beer out there to try.
For those craft beer drinkers looking to put a dent into trying at least half, attending craft beer festivals is the way to get there.
