A true “Triple B” experience - Barbeque, beers and buddies.

The bus will then take us on a scenic foothills tour to the Eau Claire Distillery, in Turner Valley, for a mixology lesson and tasting, before singing our way through the countryside, back downtown, in time for the Opening Reception at Subrosa.
