Whistler Brewing Tasting Sat. August 1


Saturday August 1 brings a Whistler Brewing tasting! From 4-8 pm, come join us at Hillside Liquor Store as we taste the Whistler Honey, Lager and Wheat Beer. These 3 beer, plus the Pale Ale are available in the very limited Whistler Summer Mixed pack.


The Wheat beer, or Weiss Beer is drawn from the German “weiss” for white, and is brewed in the Bavarian style, with more than 30% wheat-derived malt. Like all Whistler beers, Whistler WeissBier is brewed exclusively with genuine Whistler Glacier Water.
Whistler Weissbier is a seasonal beer and is available during the summer months only.
