SaltChuck Pies will be on site with delicious hot, savoury pies made in the Australian/New Zealand tradition.
Dubbel Down
Dubbel Down with us at a night of Belgian inspired beers and cuisine! Craft breweries in BC have done a wonderful job over the past decade of creating their own takes on the veritable smorgasbord of Belgian beer styles. We will be showcasing these styles of ale while enjoying delectable Belgian-inspired cuisine from vendors at the Victoria Public Market.
Fridays at the Station
Fridays at The Station is an ongoing pop-up summer series produced by The Victoria Beer Society and proudly supported by the City of Langford.
This series kicks off during Beer Week, running 2pm – 8pm with special live music, food trucks and local businesses and art studios.

To toast the week of events, Touchdown will recap the fan favourite beers from each event so you can try the best new beers, sours, Belgian brews, new zealand pils, southern hemisphere hops, and seltzers! A finale event with something for everyone!
