Hop Dark | North Island Craft Beer Festival

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
