Farmhouse Fest returns for the 9th year on the 9th of August 2025!
We’ve been pouring funky & wild things since 2015 and the tradition lives on. Located in Vancouver BC Canada at our beautiful host venue UBC Farm.
It’s a celebration of Saisons, Sours, Wild Ales, Lambic, & Cider!
At Farmhouse Fest we aim to be a tasting event that celebrates Breweries and Cider Makers from right here in the Pacific Northwest, across Canada, and special Lambic from Europe.
Funky & Wild is what we’re looking for. The goal is to pour you something special that took time and patience. Traditions are valued, attention to detail and wood aging is highly encouraged. Where producers get their ingredients is becoming increasingly important.
Do you enjoy tasting things that are new, exciting, weird, different, funky, smelly, but…good? Yes. That’s what Farmhouse Fest is all about!
Mixed fermentations, mixed cultures, barrels & foudres, classic Saisons, fruited Sours, spontaneously fermented Lambic, Ciders - there’s something tasty for everyone!
Crispy and Dank is also delicious! Farmhouse Fest will have plenty of ‘off-style’ regular beers to take a break from the wild and funky. Cleanse that palate. There will be Lagers. There will be IPAs.
There will also be a slightly more expanded offering of other specialty beers. Stouts, Barleywines, Bocks, Hefes? Maybe even some (don’t call it) Natural Wine?! We’re on the hunt for anything small batch new and ‘rare’ that you won’t find every day.
Gravity kegs? Why not!
There’s a whole lotta good folks coming to Farmhouse Fest. Curating the list and inviting everyone takes time, and well… things have just been planned a bit slower on purpose this year. Don’t worry, check back often as we will confirm many more!
Beva - Boombox - Brassneck - Changing Colours - Cerveceria Astilleros - Curious Creatures - Dageraad - Hornby Island - Ile Sauvage - Jack Knife - Luppolo - Main Street - Rumpus - Salt Spring Wild Cider - Slow Hand - Strange Fellows - Temporal - Twin Island Cider
And Lambic. Lots and lots of Lambic. Cantillon and Tilquin. Thanks C&T!
Unfortunately, the actions of the Destructive Pumpkin Head down south have caused the BC Government and LDB to stop all US imports. We will not be able to bring in anything new from our good friends in Washington and Oregon as we have every year…but Weathered Imports has a pretty nice cellar selection so we’ll have some great things and a few surprises.
Who put that table bier under the table?!
Farmhouse Fest takes place on the UBC Farm Events Field. To our immediate right when you enter, is the amazing UBC Farm Farmers Market! (we are 2 different events)
Make sure you check it out and grab a snack. Get some lettuce, a bunch of carrots, there’s all kinds of interesting vendors and produce grown a couple steps from where we’ll be pouring you our funky drinks. Show some local love they’re open 10am-2pm.
Remember, ticket needed for Farmhouse Fest 19+ only, Farmer’s Market is free to attend and all ages.
