They came, they left, they waited a bit and now they’re back!
It seems like yesterday that I was sitting at home, wired out of my noggin, with a big smile on my face. You see, I’d been to the world’s first Beanstock festival and I’d tested the limits of the all you can drink policy!
But what a festival it was! I must have bumped into everyone I’d ever met from the coffee industry there and the high-quality beans were in abundance!
As you can imagine, I was pretty excited to hear that they were returning to Vancouver!
Beanstock Festival Returns Next Month!
They’re coming back to Vancouver next month on the 2nd and 3rd of November between 9:00am and 5:30pm!
The whole thing is being organised by Mountain Coffee and Espressotec and is being held at:
Performance Works,
1218 Cartwright St.
Vancouver, BC V6H 3R8

Also I’ll be there! I’ll be MC’ing some parts of the festival so you can expect the usual embarrassing attempts at humour, awkward “oh shit I’ve lost my clipboard” moments as well as me almost certainly finding a way to knock over some camera equipment!
