Discover the Brews: Spotlight on WayBack Brewing and Barnside Brewing

WayBack Brewing

Barnside Brewing

One of the most anticipated participants this year is WayBack Brewing, a rising star in the British Columbia craft beer scene. Known for their nostalgic approach to brewing, WayBack takes classic beer styles and gives them a modern twist. Among their offerings is their Lite, a crisp, refreshing brew that’s perfect for those hot August afternoons. With its light body and subtle citrus notes, Lite is the ideal companion as you stroll through the Surrey craft beer festival, taking in all the sights and sounds. It’s not just beer; it’s a trip down memory lane with every sip.

Right alongside them is Barnside Brewing, another standout at this year’s event. Barnside is celebrated for its farm-to-glass approach, using locally grown ingredients to craft beers that are as authentic as they are flavorful. With every sip, you’ll experience the richness of Delta’s agricultural heritage, perfectly encapsulated in their refreshing brews.

A Festival for the Surrey Community

Battle of the Brews isn’t just another event—it’s a true Surrey tradition, bringing together our city’s finest for a day of local pride, great drinks, and even greater company. The festival is a testament to Surrey’s vibrant culture, where local businesses, artists, and residents come together to create something truly special. It’s an event that celebrates what makes Surrey unique: its strong community spirit and its love for local, quality craftsmanship.

Tony Stevens: The Soundtrack to Your Perfect Day

No festival is complete without great music, and this year’s Battle of the Brews is no exception. Set the mood with live performances by Tony Stevens, a local country music sensation known for his soulful voice and infectious energy. As you sip on your craft beer and indulge in gourmet bites, Tony’s tunes will have you tapping your feet and maybe even kicking up your heels. With his mix of original songs and country classics, Tony’s performance is sure to be a highlight of your day.

Sip and Support: A Cause Close to Home

While you’re enjoying the variety of beers on tap, it’s important to remember that every sip is contributing to a greater cause. All proceeds from this event go towards the Surrey Fire Fighters’ Charitable Society’s youth initiatives. These initiatives help at-risk youth participate in sports and other community programs, giving them not just the chance to play but to grow, learn, and thrive in a supportive environment. Your participation this year means even more opportunities for our youth, and knowing that your enjoyment is directly helping local children makes every pint taste that much better.
