Event Overview

MAKE SAISON! DRINK SAISON!

Farmhouse Fest returns for its 9th edition on August 9, 2025, bringing wild fermentations, rare brews, funky cider, and Lambic legends to Vancouver’s UBC Farm. It’s the ultimate tasting event for craft beer lovers seeking something different. Since 2015, Farmhouse Fest has been a must-attend celebration of small-batch producers who embrace time, patience, and tradition to craft truly special brews.

Whether you're into wild ales, mixed fermentations, Lambic, or clean and crisp lagers, this is your playground of palate exploration.

What to Expect

🍻 A Curated Lineup of Breweries & Cideries
Celebrate funky, wild, small-batch, and thoughtfully crafted beverages from BC, across Canada, and select Lambic from Europe.

🌾 Open-Air Festival at UBC Farm
Enjoy your pours in the heart of nature, surrounded by the orchard, picnic blankets, and chill summer vibes.

🍺 All-Inclusive Tasting
No tokens needed. Just show up with your glass and start exploring. Serving It Right rules apply.

🥂 Not Just Funky – Also Crispy & Dank
Farmhouse Fest isn’t just Saisons and sours. Expect a selection of lagers, IPAs, stouts, barleywines, and “off-style” rare beers for palate cleansers and curveballs.

🧺 Bring Your Own Blanket or Chair
Settle in under the sun (or in the apple orchard shade) for a relaxed afternoon of sipping and socializing.

🌮 UBC Farmer’s Market Next Door
Running 10 AM to 2 PM, visit the market before the event to grab fresh produce and local snacks!
