TOP CHEFS UNITE FOR FESTIVAL OF MEAT
The Brewery and The Beast Delivers The Ultimate Summer Food Event
On Sunday, June 16th, 2013, Vancouver welcomes Brewery & The Beast, the city’s first annual Festival of Meat hosted at Concord Pacific Place (88 Pacific Boulevard) from 1pm to 4pm. Garnering rave reviews from its launch in Victoria last year, Brewery & The Beast will fire up the grill for Vancouver attendees this Father’s Day with meaty selections from the hottest chefs in the lower mainland.
The original concept was simple: a large-scale meat-themed event held in the backyard at The Phillips Brewery, featuring well-known chefs skewering, grilling, and carving their creations for enthusiastic guests. “Overall it was a huge success and it inspired us to bring a fun, unique, and educational event to other markets,” says Scott Gurney, Event Coordinator and Creator of Brewery & The Beast. “We are excited to introduce Vancouver to the concept and showcase local and regional farms through the talent of Vancouver’s top chefs.”
Over 30 restaurants and chefs will be participating in the Vancouver event including Forage, Hawksworth, Maenam, West, and Wildebeest. The award-winning Phillips Brewing Company will be on location to dispense a premium selection of their signature brews from a one-of-a-kind “Gypsy” wagon. Other libations will include wine on tap from the Vancouver Urban Winery, Left Field Cider, Phillips homemade sodas, and traditional Iced Tea. All will be fit to pair with the themed offerings for the day including whole pig roasts, classic BBQ, charcuterie, culturally inspired creations, and experimental meat concoctions for the more adventurous carnivores.
Proudly supported by Two Rivers Specialty Meats and The Phillips Brewing Company, Brewery & The Beast focuses on food education and promotion of local farms and businesses. All proteins used by the chefs are of the highest quality: only hormone and antibiotic-free, ethically raised meats from British Columbia and Northern Alberta will be served. Brewery & The Beast is proud to be working with The BC Hospitality Foundation, donating partial proceeds to benefit its mission to provide financial assistance to the industry’s ill or injured workers.
Tickets to Brewery & The Beast are $79, inclusive of all food and beverage offerings, and are available for purchase online at Ticket Web.
