Hoppy Holidays from Main St. Brewing

Tucked into an historic heritage building that was formerly the heart of the Vancouver brewing scene in the 1800s, Main St. Brewing has been producing offbeat, outside-the-box and unconventional beers since it was first launched in 2014. This holiday season, they will help folks get into the festive spirit and show support for kids across the region by bringing back its charitable ‘Miracle on Main Street’ Toy Drive and adding more festive-themed features to the menu at the Mount Pleasant brewery beginning Wednesday, December 1.

For the first twelve days of December, people dropping off unwrapped toys, games, sports equipment or gift cards with a minimum value of $10 at Main St., will receive a complimentary flight of its ‘core four’ beers — Naked Fox IPA, Main St. Pilsner, Fruit Bomb Sour and Kingpin Pale Ale — as well as an entry into a series of ‘even-day’ draws with prizing from Main Street-area merchants taking place December 2 to 24.

Draw winners will receive a six-pack of Main St. beer and a $50 gift card to local merchants in the Mount Pleasant area, and every entrant over the age of 19 will also be entered into the grand prize of one flat of Main St. beer a month for a year to be drawn on Christmas Eve. All items collected at the brewery will be delivered in time for Christmas to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which has been putting smiles on children’s faces throughout the local community since 1930.
