Cowichan Craft Beer & Food Festival

Cowichan Craft Beer & Food Festival Craft Beer exclusive event in the Cowichan Valley that celebrates Craft Beer producers throughout the BC region as well as local food.

Celebrate the 3rd Cowichan Valley Craft Beer and Food Festival. The first and only Cowichan Valley craft beer event sanctioned BC Brewers Guild – so you know it will be fantastic. We celebrate true craft beer producers in the region both near and far. Featuring multiple hand picked selections of premium craft beer, you will find everything from IPA’s to seasonal limited editions. Last festival we

had over 30 breweries with 3 beer styles each! Be prepared to eat as food is included in your tastings! Pub fare at its finest from local gourmet Cowichan chefs bring their most extraordinary tasting dishes. Savour hand crafted artisans sausages, slow roasted pulled pork, and of course hot fresh pretzels; just to name a delicious few. You will leave full and happy.

THANK YOU! Sharing this for 2026 as we were so busy we forgot to take a picture. We are so grateful to be a dedicated team, myself (Krystal) and Kelly plus our summer student Aniela, put this event together!

We work for the Chemainus BIA and we have many other duties through this year this is just one of our most complex festivals! This year we had 2,000 people come out join us everywhere from England to Asia!

Such immense thank you to our volunteers and workers on the day, the TravelBar team for setting up, managing the field vendors needs on the day, and tearing down. Plus we can not forget everyone else involved. From The bike valet by Beyond The Usual and Island Savings all the way to CAN (Canucks Autism Network) and everyone in-between!!!
