- Great Canadian Beer Festival
The Great Canadian Beer Festival (often shortened to GCBF) is a yearly beer festival organized with help from the Victoria chapter of Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA). It presents a selection of cask ales and other alcoholic drinks from the Northwest and beyond.
Description
Canada’s longest running beer festival and the largest selection of craft only beers available anywhere in the country.
Every year on the first weekend after Labour Day over 40 craft breweries from across Canada and the Pacific North-western USA and more than 7000 happy people come together in the beautiful city of Victoria to celebrate the diversity of the brewers craft.
