Library Square and Parallel 49 Brewing Company celebrate 12 Taps of Christmas
Celebrate craft beer, Advent-style starting December 1st
Beer Advent Calendars are craft beer’s contribution to seasonal traditions, and this year Library Square and Parallel 49 Brewing Company are teaming up to offer the “12 Taps of Christmas”, an opportunity to celebrate Advent-style, even if you weren’t one of the lucky beer fans to snag one of the limited release calendars.
Parallel 49 Brewing Company has contributed 12 beers to this year’s collaboration “Craft Crossing” beer Advent calendar and every odd day in December, starting on the 1st, Library Square will be tapping a keg of the exact same Parallel 49 beer which is in the Advent Calendar on that day.
The keg will be tapped each morning at 11:30AM and will be poured all day for the feature price of $5/pint. And just like an Advent calendar, each day’s beer will be a surprise until the keg is tapped.
This year, get in the holiday spirit at Library Square with the 12 Taps of Christmas!

“Be true to yourself and your neighbourhood; the people will follow.”
About Parallel 49 Brewing
Three of Parallel 49’s founders grew up together in East Vancouver less than ten minutes from the spot where the brewery now stands. Mike, Nick, and Anthony had been avid home brewers and craft beer enthusiasts for years before they finally decided to turn their shared passion into a full time gig.
In 2008, the three friends quit their day jobs and opened a restaurant that quickly became known as a mecca for craft beer enthusiasts in Vancouver. As the restaurant business thrived the guys turned their attentions back to the enduring dream of opening their own brewery.
The guys decided that it was time to stop talking and start brewing. They teamed up with Graham With, a respected home brewer; and Michael Tod, a friend with a wealth of sales experience in the BC craft beer industry. The newly assembled Parallel 49 team set out to create the unique brand of Vancouver craft beer that they had been thirsting after for years.
