Lunaverse
A three-day celebration of dark beer and live music to warm up your winter.
Overview
'Tis the season for dark, malty brews and Abbotsford's Bodriggy is celebrating that fact with a three-day, beer-filled fiesta. The yin to the yang that is the brewery's sour-focused Electric Kool-Aid fest, the inaugural Lunaverse will be pouring the goods from Friday, August 5–Sunday, August 7.
A wintry celebration of dark beer and live music, the festival is set to showcase a delectable lineup of dark, dank drops from the likes of Hop Nation, Molly Rose, Garage Project, Sailors Grave, Mountain Culture and more. Get set for black IPAs, porters aplenty and pastry stouts in abundance. On Saturday, August 6, there'll also be a program of free beer workshops and sensory events, featuring special guests from the participating breweries.
Meanwhile, the tunes will be flowing just as easily, with a program of live gigs and DJ sets stacked across all three days. The 20-strong artist lineup includes names like Milo Eastwood, DJ JNETT, Mz Rizk, Parsnip, Alien Nose Job and Foggy Notion, with the shows taking over both the brewpub and upper-level bar Stingrays Upstairs.
Entry to Friday's fun is free until 6pm, while entry on Saturday is free until 4pm and free all day Sunday. Tickets to the nighttime festivities are $10 online, or $12 at the door.
