Have you signed up for the Vanbrewers Advent Calendar yet? You should! Plenty of time to schedule a brew this fall to get a b**r (or c***r, or mead) in there. There’s going to be lots of talented brewers entering, so this is a great chance to share some of Vancouvers best homebrews! It’s also a time to get creative if you want! Want to try a style you’ve never brewed? This is a great opportunity to give it a shot and get some feedback from your peers.

Advent Calendar sign up!!!!

Yes, we know it's August, but it's time to start planning your brew for the 2024 advent calendar. What's the advent calendar, you ask? Every winter, 24 VanBrewers come together to build one of the best b**r calendars in the city.

In recent years, we've had several members step up with two or even three b**rs to help ensure a full calendar. That's why we're getting the word out early – we hope you'll join us this year to make the 2024 calendar the best ever!
