You can sip on suds from several B C breweries at the next Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival

On March 4, the Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club will host its inaugural fest for guests to sample on current and new pours, as well as to raise money for 93 7 JR Country's Basics for Babies

Organizer Penny Hlookoff, the club's golf events manager, said the business held craft beer gatherings for other groups before the COVID-19 pandemic; however, it’s the first time the club has organized a fest of its own

“We think it's important to be a community player and, with no other event like this in the Tri-Cities, we wanted to ensure it continued,” she said “We love the vibe of the craft beer community and being able to help showcase them while raising money for a worthwhile cause was a win-win”

Held between 7 and 10 p m , the Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival will see the following brewers:

• Yellow Dog Brewing

• Twin Sails Brewing

• Mariner Brewing

• Taylight Brewing

• Patina Brewing Co

• Tinhouse Brewing

• Monkey 9 Brewing

• Parallel 49 Brewing

• Steamworks Brewing

• Smugglers Trail

• Five Roads Brewing Co

• Backcountry Brewing

• Neighbourhood Brewing

• Workshop Hard Seltzer

And for guests not wanting to drink alcohol, Hlookoff said there will be a few non-beer options

As for food, the club’s chef will cater

Meanwhile, the club is partnering with Tourism Coquitlam for safe rides home: A free shuttle service will run between the Lafarge Lake–Douglas

SkyTrain station, next to Town Centre Park, and the clubhouse

Andre Isakov, Coquitlam’s manager of economic development, which includes Tourism Coquitlam, said the city is happy the Coquitlam Craft Beer Festival is back “Toptier choices and a comfortable venue to sip a beverage will attract visitors and showcase local vibrancy, nicely balancing our city’s already jam-packed events and entertainment calendar,” he said

In addition to the tastings, the club will launch its updated logo that night and will have limited-edition swag available

Tickets, at $75 (plus tax), include all beverage and food samples, a complimentary shuttle service and a charitable donation
