Vancouver's Best Breweries
"Even if you hate dark beer (you should stop that) 33 Acres of Darkness is amazing, it’s like a dessert in a glass. Also the brewery itself has the friendliest staff, and tucked away from busy streets it’s like a beer oasis. Sometimes they have eclectic live music, sometimes it’s too loud to tell because it gets pretty busy (Ps- share the big table and make friends!)"

Best Lunch Spots in Vancouver
"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."

9 Breweries Revitalizing Vancouver's Craft Beer Scene
"While Brassneck Brewery makes a range of delicious beers worth checking out at their rustic, industrial space on Main Street, what sets them apart is their experimental small-batch stuff. Check the rotating chalkboard for little-seen styles and taste their latest experiments, like the tart Viognier Changeling made with grape must, for example. Because production is so small, you’ll likely have to head to the tasting room to give yourself a try."

Vancouver's Best Breweries
"On top of the fact that they encourage you to order food truck food from outside and then bring it into the tasting room, this brewery has so many wicked things going on. One Trick Pony is definitely that best 9% beer you’ll get in the city, if you’re into that kind of thing. Also in the summer they usually have really fruity, hibiscus infused beer which is great if you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t be caught dead with a sangria."

"Brassneck Brewery’s small tasting room in Mount Pleasant—just around the corner from Main Street Brewing in fact—is always brimming with loyal fans, no matter the day or season. The brewery began because the owners are truly, madly, deeply in love with beer. Their beer names are a lot of fun too—Bivouac Bitter, Bjørn Again, Passive Aggressive, Klutz!"

"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."

Vancouver Breweries: Best Craft Beer in British Columbia
"R&B Brewing is one of Vancouver’s original microbreweries which has been serving up hoppy, golden froth since 1997. Located just off Main Street, you’ll hear punk rock, ska and folk music blasting out of their doors as you take in the sweet smell of boiling wart and the grinding roar of the mill out back. The team have recently given the space a total makeover, offering thirsty guests a retail growler station, funky fireplace meets book nook and spacious bar."

"When the owners of Howe Sound took over they thought it would be a great spot to brew their beers instead of shipping from Squamish, little did they know the patio and a little sweat equity would turn this into a locals favourite."

"Owned and operated by husband & wife team, David (Brewer) and Nicole (Operations), Powell Brewery opened as a nano (smaller than a micro) brewery in 2012 and the team quickly took home a 2013 Canadian “Beer of the Year” from the Canadian Brewing Awards for their Old Jalopy Pale Ale. Since then the selection has grown to include inventive flavors such as wheat beer with ginger and cardamom, cascara (coffee cherry) brews and gluten-free ciders.

"Owned by a husband-and-wife team, Powell Brewery’s award-winning beer is so popular with locals that they had to move to a bigger premises on Powell Street in 2014. They offer both seasonal and year-round beers, including the Cheeky Session, the Dive Bomb Dark Ale, the Lazy D’Haze IPA, and the Old Jalopy Pale Ale. The latter won Powell Brewery bronze for “Extra Special Bitter” at the World Beer Cup Awards in 2016."

9 Breweries Revitalizing Vancouver's Craft Beer Scene
"This small tasting room found along the Adnac bike route is a must-visit when touring Vancouver’s beer scene, for the beer as much as for the story (but mainly for the beer.) Some guys who played on a hockey team called “the Bombers” convinced one of their teammates who made a bangin’ home brew to open a brewery. Next thing you know, Bomber Brewing was born. Hockey to craft beer?"
Mentioned by Do604
Vancouver's Best Breweries
"Bomber is so tucked away among bagel factories and other industrial buildings that I feel like it could surely be considered a hidden gem. Not only is the beer drool worthy, but they’ve got a bunch of tasty little bar snacks and board games so you can sit there all night and sip and play, or fill a growler and hit the road. Either way, your taste buds will thank you."

"Big Rock Urban Brewery got its start in Calgary but recently flew west to open up a state of the art facility in Vancouver where they prepare craft brews exclusively for the YVR market. It’s a great place to sip with an empty stomach as the breweries urban eatery offers a comfortable lounge featuring floor-to-ceiling glass wall looking into the brewery, and a stage for live bands to play to the boisterous beer crowd. Nibble on the kimchi poutine and fire roasted jalapeno cheddar grilled cheese while sipping through a fancy flight poured fresh out of a choir of casks."

"Sorry Big Rock; perhaps it’s the location being just a little far from the cluster around main street, or the fact the brewery originally hails from Alberta, but whatever the case may be, someone had to end up on the bottom of the list."

"A classic good beer and grub joint, Strange Fellows has it all. You’ve probably picked up a pack of SF tall boys, but if you haven’t checked out their East Van tasting room you’re missing out. Besides being as hip as you’d expect anything to be in East Van, SF also hosts the Charles Clark Gallery where you can admire the work of a bunch of rotating local artists."
