With Father’s Day this weekend, we’ve partnered with some truly awesome businesses in B.C. to highlight some local experiences that will make for great gift ideas for your Dad.

For a fun activity to do with your dad, try brewing your own craft beer with !
TCB's U-Brew license allows you to be hands-on in bottling your own personal batch of beer — along with wine or cider if that’s dad’s preference.
You don't need to have any prior experience with home brewing, as the experts at TCB will be there to guide you and your dad through the steps of handcrafting your own individual brew.
TCB’s beer production equipment is similar to that of any other small craft brewery, and their brewing process is just the same. TCB’s grain brewing system and ferment-on-premises licensing lets their team take care of the mashing, boiling, filtering, and carbonating. They make the wort, and then it goes into a fermenter just for you. Your choice of yeast is all it takes to kick it off.
And since your individual batch will be for your own use, you'll also avoid commercial liquor taxes, saving you a bundle.
Not only will you have a memorable bonding experience with your dad, you'll also have a personalized takeaway gift to commemorate your time together!
