Cascadian Beer Podcast

I’m profiling a festival that showcases Farmhouse style craft beers to Vancouver, BC. In other areas of Cascadia these styles are pretty well known, but in British Columbia that isn’t always the case. Farmhouse Fest is a relatively new beer festival, held at a unique location which focuses on these more traditional styles of craft beer.

I spoke with one of the event organizers, Dave Shea for Farmhouse Fest 2017 in the first segment of this podcast.

This is an updated episode since it's release. I attended Farmhouse Fest 2017 and spoke with Jonathan Evans more about the festival.

Later in the episode I documented the crowd & breweries reactions to the festival.

Traditionally craft beer has been in glass bottles, but in recent years there has been an increase in the number of craft beer canned products. When starting a brewery, a major cost can be the bottling or canning line. West Coast Canning in Vancouver, BC provide the solution with their mobile canning lines. I spoke with co-owner Matt Leslie about how they started, and if cans are better for craft beer.

I’ve traveled down I-5 in Washington State to the city of Everett. Home to the Boeing Assembly plant, this area has seen growth in recent years, including  the craft beer scene. Starting in the back shed in 2009, Justice Brewing is a one man project which is seeing some major expansion later this year.

I’m in the neighbourhood of Strathcona in Vancouver, BC, an area undergoing significant growth and redevelopment following a period of urban decay. The service industry is responding to this upswing, one of them being the Strathcona Beer Company.

I spoke with Owner & Brewmaster Michael "Fezz" Nazarec and his son & brewer Nick Nazarec. Their location is both a brewery and tasting room with a kitchen serving some gourmet pizzas. The 25 hectoliter brewhouse is accompanied by five fermenters and five brite tanks. Strathcona Beer Company opened their doors in July 2016.
