Today is the first day of the first Vancouver Brewfest! It’s taking place today and tomorrow (Saturday), from 3 to 9pm today and 12 to 9pm tomorrow at Esther Short Park in downtown Vancouver. (Details.)

It looks like it’s going to be a good first year, with a nice selection of 25 brewers (mostly from the Northwest), live music, and food of course.

Admission requires a $21 entrance package, which gets you in with a mug and 8 sample tickets. It’s also 21 and over only, so find a sitter if you have kids.

Over on Brewpublic, Angelo has a good writeup of the fest and the Vancouver scene as well.
