Held in Prince George at the end of January each year, the event is part of the community’s winter social calendar, offering attendees the opportunity to taste and discover a variety of high quality, full flavoured, small batch produced craft beers. Over the last number of years, consumers’ beer palates have become more sophisticated and so the craft beer market has exploded across North America. Craft beer now represents the fastest growing segment within the beer category. The event will feature three separate tastings sessions, live music, a souvenir tasting glass, craft beer 101 learning sessions, tapas food paired to featured beer and a professional art exhibit. Volunteer run, this event is organized by Kiwanis Prince George as an annual signature event to raise funds for local children charities and Kiwanis programs. Kiwanis (meaning “we trade” or “we share our talents”) is a non-profit volunteer community service organization with a long history since its founding in Prince George in 1954. Over the years, Kiwanis has held a number of fundraisers to benefit charities and legacy projects such as golf tournaments, community dinners, the building of the Kiwanis Bandshell in Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park (Fort George Park) and Kiwanis Picnic Area in Cottonwood Island Park. The local club is part of Kiwanis International’s network of service clubs, representing nearly 600,000 members worldwide.
