Tips & Advice

Below are some suggestions and extra information to help you make the most of your experience at Brewhalla North Vancouver next time you attend.

TIP #1: Don’t drink and drive! Plan in advance how you’ll get home.

TIP #2: Take public transit if you can. The SeaBus terminal is just a five-minute walk away and Waterfront Station, on the other side of the water, connects conveniently with all SkyTrain stations within the Lower Mainland.

TIP#3: If you like beer (and we imagine you do; you are reading this), then be sure to also check out Brewhalla Fort Langley which takes place later in the year. It’s a beer, music and Halloween-themed event. Soon after, in November, there is also Vancouver’s North Shore Craft Beer Week.

TIP #4: Make a night out of your time at the beer festival and turn the fun into a mini staycation. There are a number of great hotels at the Shipyards, including the Pinnacle at the Pier Hotel which is one of our favourites.
