Individuals who are interested in planning a fun and exciting vacation for this autumn should consider taking a Canadian rail tour to Victoria, British Columbia. This September, the country's brewing capital will host its annual Great Canadian Beer Festival (GCBF) for the 18th year in a row.

The GCBF is held at the Royal Athletic Park each autumn on the weekend following Labor Day. This year, it will fall on September 9 and 10. Attendees can be sure that they will have a fantastic time sampling brews and learning about beer culture, the fermentation process and the correct way to taste.

Beer lovers on Canadian train trips may be excited to hear the number of brewers that have already committed to the festival. While the roster has not yet been fully confirmed, GCBF officials have released a preliminary list that includes Brooklyn Brewery, Deschutes, Port Townsend and Three Skulls Ale. These brewers will all bring at least three different beverages for festival-goers to try.

While tickets were just released for purchase last week, GCBF officials are expecting a huge turnout this year. As such, individuals who are interested in planning a Canadian train vacation to Victoria for this event should book their accommodations now.
