The Kiwanis AleFest became an instant success with its introduction of 2015, with the annual gathering expanding both in participation and activities offered, making for what has become a signature Winter event in Prince George.
If you're thinking of heading to eastbound over the weekend, you had best hope that you have some connections in the community, the website for this years event notes that Tickets are already SOLD OUT for the 2017 version.
There are however some special free events taking place in the downtown area for those that want to sample some of the offerings as part of the weekend celebrations.
The popularity of the event should prove to be something that brings a smile to the travellers from the Northwest, and maybe an indication that they may need to bring more supplies with them.
With a large and thirsty volume of potential customers ready to sample their products, they'll want make sure to keep the beer lines moving quickly, allowing for satisfied beer aficionados to spread the word once the Festival wraps up on Saturday evening.
