Alcohol sales are on the way to two Vancouver beaches, but that doesn't mean it'll be legal to sip beer while lying on a blanket in the sand. On Monday, the Vancouver Park Board voted in favour of a two-year pilot project that will add beer and wine to the menu at concession stands at English Bay and Kitsilano beaches next year. The new drink choices will only be available in designated areas next to existing concession stands. Kitsilano's drinking area would be located on a small, temporary patio on the hard surface beside the concession, operated by The Boathouse restaurant. The pilot is part of a larger strategy approved Monday for Vancouver's park concession stands.
