Vancouver’s all-inclusive meat and beer festival reveals 55+ participating vendors
In case you missed the news, the all-you-can-enjoy meat and beer festival Brewery and the Beast is returning to Vancouver on Sunday, July 27. During the announcement, we were told over 60 of the best culinary talent would be in attendance, serving everything and anything delicious. Now, we have just received word on who exactly will be coming.
New vendors this year include some of the most buzz-worthy restaurants in and around Vancouver, including ELEM, Good Thief, Bar Bravo, Gordon Ramsay Steak, and Miso Taco.
Other returning favourites include South Fire, which will be cooking up three whole hogs roasted in traditional Argentinian style.
