$45+tax
Bricks and Brews is back for 2026! Come celebrate the kickoff to this year’s Heritage Discovery Day with a heritage talk and tasting at Mount Pleasant Vintage & Provisions and discover the story of two little houses that could. Join heritage consultant, Elana Zysblat as she walks you through the story of two turn-of-the-century homes that had survived on what had become an industrial-zoned block and were temporary neighbours on the shores of false creek as they sat in storage while their properties were adapted for mixed-commercial uses. Both have transformed for contemporary new uses while helping to make heritage buildings cool again for younger demographics.
The illustrated presentation will be hosted in the covered, heated patio of the trendy Mount Pleasant Vintage & Provisions, (the incarnation of the 1901 Coulter House), and ticket price includes both a look at the interior and a welcome drink*! Food and additional drinks from the menu will be available to order during the event.
*Please note that if you are planning to have an alcoholic beverage, you are required to bring two pieces of ID, including one piece of government issued ID. Non-alcoholic options will also be available.
This venue includes a wide variety of seating arrangements. This includes, table and chairs, benches, and bleacher seating. Seating is first come-first serve. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
