Join us for an unforgettable evening of appetizers, socializing, and craft brews at Swans Pub and Brewery in the heart of beautiful Victoria! Located in downtown Victoria BC, at the base of Chinatown, the Swans Hotel building was built in 1913. At that time, the area was a hotbed of secret societies, underground activity, and a liquor distillery.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant social scene as Swans hosts us with a canapé reception, a night of lively conversations, laughter, and the finest handcrafted beers in town. Whether you're a craft beer connoisseur or just looking to unwind with new Congress friends, this social event promises to be a celebration of good times and great company.
