CAMRA SO – Join us this week!

It’s great to be able to send this to everyone now that some social restrictions have been relaxed! The recent positive news from the BC Government Public Health Office (PHO) that Step 1 of BC’s Restart Plan is in place now is exciting. This phase includes seated outdoor organized gatherings of up to 50 people, with a COVID-19 Safety Plan. This means we can host a structured social event up to that number of guests. So, let’s get together for a “Beer at the Beach” and catch-up – details below!

There are more CAMRA SO events in the planning stages and we’re hoping that Step 2 in BC’s Restart Plan will be able to start June 15, as that will allow more social freedom options.

More information will be on its way soon, so please watch for future news – we can’t wait to see you all again!

Location: Marina Way Park, Penticton
Date: Thursday, June 3rd
Time: 5-7pm

Bring your favourite craft beer or craft cider plus a camp chair or blanket to sit on, as the PHO requirements say that guests must be seated. Enjoy catching up with other CAMRA SO members, in lovely Marina Way Park (by the Penticton Art Gallery and the Penticton Ikeda Japanese Garden).

Bring along a snack, picnic or even support a local business and order food to go to enjoy! It’s a great way to support our CAMRA business partners, or other local business.

Please take note of the COVID safety rules and protocols that will be in place for the event:
– this event will be held outdoors
– attendees must abide by the 2 metre (6 feet) physical distancing requirements to ensure physical distancing at all times
– bring all of your own plates, cutlery etc., so that no items have to be shared
– everyone attending will need to provide their contact information for contact tracing, so please be prepared to share this information if you would like to attend
– please bring a chair or blanket, as this event requires all guests are seated
– we will have hand sanitizer available

So please join us and enjoy some awesome craft-beer related conversation and a safe outdoor visit. As always, it’s important to plan a safe ride home. Check our CAMRA SO Facebook page for further information regarding this event.

Join CAMRA Victoria for a virtual event hosted by Clay Potter, owner and head brewmaster at Moon Under Water Brewpub & Distillery, where he’ll talk about his use of traditional brewing methods like decoction and step mashing.

It may be challenging to find any of Moon Under Water’s Potts Pilsner, Creepy Uncle Dunkel or This is Hefeweizen but please give us a heads up at CAMRA SO if you know a source! These beers will be sure to come up during Clay’s talk.

As announced by the event organizers …
“Covid safety plans are now being put in place for the Beer Run 2021 and the event is planning to move forward on June 19th.  If you registered for the Beer Run 2020 your registration will automatically be transferred to this new date. As Provincial Health and Safety Guidelines are updated, we will be updating our event policies to ensure that we can run a safe and fun Beer Run for our participants and our community.  We appreciate your patience in these ever-changing times.
Due to changes in Health Regulations, the event may look a little different this year. All changes will be posted as we have them available. Rest assured, no matter the format, there will be fresh air, good people, exercise and amazing local food & BEER!!!“
