Yesterday was the 2017
Flatlanders Beer Festival media kick-off event at Grant Park for next weekend's annual festival. I've been to a few media events in the past but this was the first beer media event I've ever been to in Manitoba. To be honest, I was shocked with the low turnout - I expected a packed room with various media sources but in reality, there were more guys from the various breweries than media/social media at the event. I was hoping that the event was going to announce the beer lineup and I expected to see some (out of province) sample breweries (such as the beers by 49th Parallel Group) showing what they're bringing to the event. (PS - there is a list of beers to expect on
Flatlanders' website)
Thankfully, there was a good showing by Winnipeg breweries:
Barn Hammer Brewing,
Fort Garry Brewing,
PEG Beer Co,
Nonsuch Brewery,
Brazen Hall Kitchen & Brewery,
Half Pints Brewing, Little Brown Jug and
Torque Brewing. The room felt a tad empty as Neepawa's
Farmery didn't make an appearance at the event.
Here's photos I took of the event in no particular order!
