“This Brewmaster Dinner not only gives us the opportunity to collaborate with an exciting up-and-coming local brewery that has been a part of BC’s ongoing craft-beer revolution, but also give our guests a taste of how our cuisine can be perfectly paired with the proper style of beer,” says McHale.

Launched by James Iranzad and Josh Pape under their Gooseneck Hospitality banner — the group behind such other notable local restaurants as Pizzeria Bufala, Lucky Taco, and Bells and Whistles — Wildebeest recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and continues to carve out its claim as one of Vancouver’s true culinary destinations.

Founded in East Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood in 2016, Luppolo — which means ‘hops’ in Italian — is a brewery and tasting room that crafts true-to-style ales and lagers in addition to lesser-known varieties and hybrids from around the globe. Luppolo is owned and operated by two couples — Ryan Parfitt and Eleanor Stewart, and Anique Ross and Federico Stucchi — who share both Italian roots and an abiding passion for craft beer.
