Hopscotch Vancouver

Tickets

6,000+ Attendees / Whisky Enthusiasts

NEW MANAGEMENT: Hopscotch is now a part of the ‘FEASTER’ Family!

Feaster is a Vancouver based company specializing in the production and marketing of all things food and drink. With 40+ years of production, over 100+ F&B events produced and in excess of 50,000 attendees each year to its f&b tasting events, there is no better team than Feaster to help VCBW continue to be the best event for breweries to showcase their beer at.

After long discussions with the HOPSCOTCH founders, it was agreed upon (between them and Feaster) to continue in the traditions that have made HOPSCOTCH the esteemed event that it has become. Although changes will be implemented to be able to produce HOPSCOTCH in a sustainable way, most of what HOPSCOTCH was (before the change) will remain the same.

There is no better way to promote beverages than hand to mouth, and Hopscotch is the best place to do this.

We’ve been the largest libations festival in BC for over 20 years and it’s taught us a thing or two. Most importantly, it has taught us to evolve. You have to move forward to be in front. Hopscotch 2021 represents our next evolution.

10. BANG FOR BUCK
Hopscotch is bang for your buck marketing. Guests attend to have a great time and learn about the products that they are tasting. If they wanted to “just drink”, they would stay home or go to their local watering hole. They attend to sip, taste, sample and learn. Dollar for dollar, there is no better way to promote than glass to mouth.
