THE PNE FORUM has proved to be an awesome venue for Hopscotch! It was a big change, but an exciting change and a contribution to the goal of always making the Hopscotch Festival better.
The festival turns 18 in 2014 and like any teenager, its growing pains are long gone and the excitement of it entering adulthood is upon us. What's crazy is that if the festival was a person, it would be legal to drive. So drive it shall. 2014 will bring an amazing festival to Vancouver via the famous Grand Tasting Hall, Satellite Dinners, and Master Classes. Hundreds of products including Whisky (Scotch, Bourbon, and all others), Beer, Tequila, Vodka, Gin, etc will be available to sip, taste, and learn about.
Last year Kelown'a Hopscotch Festival was taken to an entirely new level. The Grand Tasting was extended to two-nights in order to accommodate the immense demand for tickets. With more than FIVE-THOUSAND people attending the Grand Tasting Hall over two nights, the Hopscotch Festival was an event missed by few.
In 2014 the festival turns 19 years old (it started in Vancouver) and will mark the fifth year that it will take place in Kelowna. The growing pains are gone and the event has become something very special. For four hours per night, The Kelowna Curling Club is transformed into an educational tasting event where people come to sip, taste, learn, and shmooze about premium whiskies, beers, and other spirits that are both new and old to the local market. Come and visit! We will see you there.
In response to overwhelming consumer demand in the Valley, the Fraser Valley Food Show is showcasing the magic of food and cooking at the Tradex Exhibition Centre in Abbotsford, BC. Experience food both local and international, celebrity chef demonstrations, cooking competitions, sausage making competitions, cheese and wine seminars, Bite of the Valley participating restaurants and the Grapes and Hops wine/beer/spirits tasting pavilion.

We are very proud to announce that, for the third time in a row, BELLEROSE got awarded at the IBC (International Beer Challenge) which took place in London last month. This year we won the bronze medal in the Saison Ale category, and we bettered that with a silver medal in the design and packaging competition. So it yet again proves that we are not only a great tasting beer, but we look good too. BELLEROSE continue its winning run as the most awarded French beer, showing to the worldwide community that it's a beer that counts. Bellerose is proving time and time again that France is not only wine and cheese, we can also make tasty, hoppy, original and delicate craft beer!
