10 Best Breweries in Delta

"Its bright, minimalist space is an ideal backdrop for simple avocado-on-toast-style lunches, cold glasses of beer (try the IPA) or expertly-poured lattes (currently made using Heart Coffee Roasters espresso). And from 11:30-3:30 Monday to Friday, find a local food truck serving more lunch options out front."

"33 Acres Brewing is a West Coast company through and through. Their three locally crafted beers are inspired by natural elements and appropriately named: 33 Acres of Life, Ocean and Darkness. Each beer reflects the characteristics of these elements and conveys different flavours."

"Mount Pleasant’s minimalist neighbourhood hot spot is hot anytime of the day and any day, whether you’re looking for weekend brunch or some afternoon snacks. The sun-filled patio is worth the visit and the beer will make you stay."

"Brassneck Brewery has brewed over 120 different beers from 2013, including Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts, Sour beers, Traditional Saisons and more. The fill and tasting room and patio also have a wide range of snacks available for order, which are made by its sister restaurant the Magnet. Address: 2148 Main Street, VancouverPhone: 604-872-4901"

"This didn’t really come as a surprise, Brassneck is much beloved by both the public and the nerdiest of beer nerds out there. With their consistently rotating taps and the generally interesting beers being produced, the question wasn’t whether Brassneck would come out on tops, but just how far ahead of the rest it would be."

"Housed in one of Vancouver’s only remaining industrial heritage buildings, Main Street Brewing Co. (261 East 7th Avenue) is located inside the 1913 Vancouver Brewery Garage, which is in the historic Brewery Creek district where the original breweries once stood. Family-friendly and airy, the brewery Tasting Lounge is the best place to head for a filling combination of tacos and tipples. Try the chicken wings or charcuterie board, washed down with an appropriately named Main Street Pilsner, or dig into a plate of Little Mountain nachos with a Number Seven Saison."

"Part of the so-called Yeast Vancouver scene—the appropriately dubbed "Brewery Creek" area of East Vancouver—Main Street Brewing sits in an industrial building from 1913. It’s an impressive spot, with high, slightly peaked, rough wooden ceilings, polished concrete floors, and a plywood filling station where regulars come to top up their growlers. Today, the large operation turns out a full slate of suds: five beers sold year-round and another 30 that rotate."

"Despite being one of the larger locations off of Main street, Main Street Brewing always seems to have a line outside. That’s a testament to the consistent quality of the beer from both the regular and experimental series."

"You can’t celebrate the newcomers without paying tribute to the OGs that set the scene for the rest to follow—for the Vancouver craft beer scene, that means R&B Brewing. Operating since 1997, R&B is just as relevant and beloved in the craft beer scene today as the day it opened its doors. With beers named after things that would make a local smirk knowingly—like the Dude Chilling Pale Ale or the Stolen Bike European-style lager with bright hops—drinking at R&B is like getting a drinkable lesson in Vancouver."

"The brews at R&B are named after iconic Vancouver places and things like their Dude Chilling Pale Ale, Stolen Bike Lager, and their Vancouver Special IPA. You can stop and get your growlers filled and your favourite beers in cans at the Growler Station. Or enjoy menu items from the Ale & Pizza House on the two patios. Address: 1-54 East 4th Ave, VancouverPhone: 604-336-0275"

"Old records, weird lighting and a very humble vibe are all positives for the brewery. They also happened to make of one of the better initial NE IPAs in the city (Shake Your Fruity) which continues to be a solid beer."

"We didn’t really consider Dockside Brewing the first few times we were on Granville Island, because it’s located alongside the Dockside Restaurant that is usually swarming with tourists, but that doesn’t take away from the tasty beer, so it’s worth a stop, especially after a long day of walking around the island. Location: 1253 Johnston St. Website: http://docksidevancouver.com/about/. Other tours you may enjoy:"

"Many may not realize that Granville Island is home to two breweries, with the Granville Island Hotel housing its own onsite brewing facility. Dockside earns some good brownie points for having an excellent waterfront patio, but loses some for being fairly pricey."

"These guys and Green Leaf are some of the founding members of North Van’s beer scene, having opened years before the latest crop showed up. Straightforward beers paired with great food and they’ve got some history?. Now that’s the kind of prestige we’re looking for."

"Not only is the patio next to the bright sunshine colour of Andina’s exterior walls to always present a good mood, but the beer feels extra bright as well, with the Colombian flare. Andina is a nod to the owner’s home – Colombia and pushes the boundaries when it comes to serving up unique flavours of quality craft beer. Where | 1507 Powell StreetWebsite"

"If you’ve driven down Powell street, Andina’s is hard to miss. The bright yellow brewery serves up some delicious ceviche, and is generally fairly busy. While they do take some unique risks with their beer, not all of them are successful, but the ones that are tend to resonate very well with drinkers."

"Showing off the classic spirit of beer, family&friends, good music and culture and of course passion. Giving off amazing full bodied, crisp and smooth Ales and Lagers. We would recommend grabbing a few friends and heading down there."

"These guys are trailblazers in North Van’s new brewery scene, so on that alone they deserve a spot on this list. But, they’ve also got fantastic beer selection with rotating taps, fun collaborations, and the best catchphrase. Have a Beere this week, folks!"

"Pizza Garden is pretty dang good for being more of a chain brand of pizza. That being said, they have tons of locations and a large menu. So you can get your favorite pizza pretty much anywhere in metro Vancouver and you gotta love that."

"A post shared by Alana Yee (@yvreats) on Jan 14, 2019 at 8:40pm PST. Located at 631 Commercial Drive, this eatery took the place of one of Vancouver’s oldest restaurants Nick’s Spaghetti House after it closed after 62 years of operation. This classic spaghetti house features traditional Italian dishes like spaghetti and meatballs, veal parm, Caesar salad, shrimp scampi, and piccata along with baskets of white bread."

"To get a taste of the best Italian-style pasta in Vancouver head to Savio Volpe or Pepino’s. At Savio Volpe they make their own pasta in-house, and it’s always fresh and tasty. You’ll stumble upon some wild combinations on the menu such as tortellini with squash, ricotta, brown butter, hazelnuts and sage, or cavatelli with cauliflower, dried tomatoes and garlic."

"Pepino’s is your cozy and casual neighbourhood spot over at Commercial Drive, favoured by locals and anyone looking to enjoy hearty Italian comfort food. They are so popular, they even made it to our Food Bucket List. Pepino’s offers great prices, generous portions, and friendly service, which makes it the perfect place to spend a relaxing evening out."

"Chau Veggie express is a vegetarian eatery serving primarily vegan dishes inspired by their Vietnamese roots. Located outside of the city centre on Victoria Drive, Chau Veggie Express serves up vegan versions of classic Vietnamese dishes. Think bowls of deliciously overflowing noodles served with a variety of vegetables and sauces."

"Lotus Seed is one of the best vegan restaurants in Vancouver thanks to its fresh and healthy menu of local and organic bites. Highlights include meatless ball sandwiches, pho, almond alfredo spaghetti, vegan benedict and vegan sushi. There’s something here for all times of the day, as well as fantastic juices."

"Location: #180 – 3665 Kingsway, Vancouver (Metrotown)Category: Asian FusianDescription: A newer restaurant in Burnaby that features healthy, fresh food. They have a smaller menu (to ensure quality & freshness) that has hearty Pho, baked burritos, sushi, Thai Curry and more.Website: www.lotusseed.ca"

"Lotus Seed Vegan is an unassuming restaurant on West Broadway near Cambie Street. Their food is simple, but homey and comforting. I like ordering their vegan pho when I want a light and healthy broth."

"Here’s a Chinatown treasure, perhaps the most culturally rich of all parks overseen by the Vancouver Parks Board. (Admission to the adjoining Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Garden costs about $15, depending on the season.) With willows, bamboo, craggy rocks, pagodas and a pond dotted with lily pads and filled with koi, this photo-ready site is will make you feel a world away. Both the free and paid portions of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens are currently closed but will reopen July 3"

"It’s a spot rich in history as it’s the first Chinese garden built outside of China. It’s also National Geographic’s “Top City Garden in the World”. This an extremely celestial outdoor space, providing quiet respite from the bustling city and offering dozens of opportunities to photograph 150-year old miniature trees, a jade green pond, and famous koi fish."

"You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"Located just south of Vancouver, Iona Beach Regional Park is the home of one of the most romantic walks in Vancouver. Iona Jetty is a 4-kilometre long jetty that juts out into the Straight of Georgia, right into the Pacific Ocean. The walk is flat and you can often see wildlife and interesting sea creatures."
