Seventh annual Northern BC Craft Beer Festival attracted big crowds to Two Rivers Gallery.
The lure of sampling some of the best craft brews produced in northern B.C. brought big crowds to Two Rivers Gallery over the weekend for the seventh annual Kiwanis AleFest/Northern BC Craft Beer Festival.
“We had 300 people for each session, so about a 1,000 in total, and everyone had so much fun,” said Holly Keech, Kiwanis AleFest communications/marketing lead. “It just had a special feeling after that two-year hiatus because of COVID, so there was excitement in the air. It went off without a hitch.”
AleFest profits in previous years allowed the Kiwanis Club to sponsor such local charities as Big Brothers, Big Sisters, Prince George Therapeutic Riding Association and Prince George Dress Dreams. A portion of the money raised this year will be set aside for a future capital project in the city geared to children.
“Slaughterhouse is like a ma-and-pa operation and this was their first event and they were super-excited to be there and had such a wonderful attitude,” said Keech. “Everyone really enjoyed sampling the cider and I think this will be a really good promotion for them.Several local food vendors brought appetizers to sell to the gallery crowds.
