Come Support Local Craft Breweries
We fell in love with craft beer when we fell in love with each other. We take every opportunity to visit the newest breweries and get our hands on the newest releases. We consider ourselves well-versed in the latest that BC craft beer has to offer, and we want to bring our love of craft beer to our attendees. We often take road trips around the province in order to try the newest beer and visit breweries that we’ve never been to. We take pride in hand picking the breweries that attend our festival because we want to bring our favourites to you! From classic brews to new releases to one of a kind small batches, you are guaranteed to find something you will love. We are always looking to expand and evolve, and we are fortunate to add some non-beer/non-alcoholic/gluten-free options to our lineup this year.
— Sarah & Kyle Leigh, Founders
Check back here again soon! We will announce 2025’s brewery attendees in February.

Bali Water
Bali Water is your escape from the everyday, inspired by the tropical waters of Bali. Born from our founders’ journey through Southeast Asia in search of the finest fresh juices, our unique flavor was discovered in Bali’s lush jungles. We exclusively source premium rice vodka, lightly carbonated spring water, and vine-ripened tropical fruit juices to craft Bali Water—nothing else. Embracing Barong, the Balinese symbol of health and good fortune, we invite you to take a sip, savor the taste, and let Bali Water bring a touch of tropical paradise to your day.
Ladysmith, BC
Bayview Brewing
Bayview Brewing began with a dinner hosted by Ludtke, attended by Alsop, who was amazed by Ludtke’s cooking. Around this time, Ludtke began homebrewing, and Alfred Elviss joined as a co-owner. Both Ludtke and Elviss, passionate homebrewers, refined recipes and created new ones. After a year of testing on friends and family, they entered a 2018 homebrew competition and won several categories. Encouraged, they decided to open a brewery, choosing a location beside Alsop’s house. Bayview Brewing opened its doors on April 29, 2022.
