10 Best Breweries in Panorama

"33 Acres Brewing is known for its minimalist approach to its brewery, brunch, Instagram account, and beers. Their most loved beers are 33 Acres of Life, Ocean (West Coast Pale Ale), and Sunshine (French Blanchè). The 33 Acres moniker continues into the selection, with beers such as Echo, Darkness, Euphoria, and Nirvana."

"A post shared by 33 Acres Brewing Company ™ (@33acresbrewing). The family-owned and operated brewery celebrates the good things in life with its beer offerings. Head down to 33 Acres Brewing and have a glass of 33 Acres of Ocean, 33 Acres of Sunshine, 33 Acres of Life, or more on their patio."

"33 Acres Brewing Co. proves that a lengthy brunch menu does not necessarily equal success. Their tiny, super solid, two-item menu creates a lineup at the 11am opening hour. Choose from an Avocado Smash on (Nelson the Seagull's amazing sourdough) and Beer waffles."

"Part of Main Street’s microbrew revitalization (where long-since-paved-over Brewery Creek was the source of a turn-of-the-century brewing scene), Brassneck’s reclaimed-wood tasting room is a rainy-day hideaway (snag the back booth) in which to sip their flagship Passive Aggressive Dry Hopped Pale Ale. Location, location, location makes it the ideal hub for a craft-brewery crawl. Bonus points for the best illustrated growlers for purchase in the city."

"The unique design and minimalistic decor of the Brassneck Brewery complements the classic beers brewed on-site. Owners Nigel Springthorpe and Conrad Gmoser are dedicated to their craft and have successfully created a space where people can stop by for a beer after work, fill up growlers on the go and, of course, enjoy a sampling of tasters. Don’t-miss Drink: Passive Aggressive IPA. Despite the name, the hops in this one are anything but passive."

"If catching up with a friend or two over a cold beer is your idea of the perfect night out, head to Brassneck Brewery. Get comfortable in the laid back atmosphere and cheers with one of their craft beers. The roster of beer changes and on it you'll find familiar styles and some that are lesser known."

"Main Street Brewing Co. resides in one of Vancouver’s few surviving industrial heritage buildings, the “Vancouver Breweries Garage” which dates back to 1913. History fans will get a kick out of walking through the breezy space while shopaholics can enjoy a beer inspired stroll in the retail store where unique items such as beer infused soap make the perfect gift for the handsome man on your hit list. Best Beer: Saison #7"

"Housed inside an industrial heritage brewery garage from 1913, Main Street Brewery is equal parts approachable and satisfying. The perfect place to spend an afternoon with a tasting flight, Main Street offers perfectly executed beers that won’t necessarily challenge your palette, but they will make you realize how delicious a straightforward style, like their Naked Fox IPA, can be when done properly."

"This is a great stop, one of our favorites on our Vancouver brewery tours. Built on the site of the old Vancouver Brewing Company from over 100 years ago. Must try is the Naked Fox IPA."

"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.

"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."

"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."

"Storm is unique because there isn’t a tasting room, and you can’t just pop in for a pint. It’s go big or go home, go fill up your growler, take a tour, pick up a keg and get the heck out (kidding, the staff is lovely). Though you can’t lounge, you can taste a bunch of beer for a cash donation which is pretty sweet, plus it’s right on Commercial and has been brewin’ since ‘94 which is also cool."

"This small, graffiti-covered, cinder-block building off Commercial Drive is strictly about the beer. There are no pints, no flights and no food—just really, really good beer. Led by brewer James Walton, one of Canada’s most renowned, straight-up punk-rock beer makers, Storm’s claim to fame is the over 200 different unfiltered, unpasteurized “brainstorm” brews they’ve made."

"They don’t have a tasting room, but do welcome guest into their workspace to taste their beers. They don’t serve pints or food, or even have chairs. But you can sample up to 6 beers (one at a time, of course)."

"Container Brewing focuses on classic beer styles with a modern twist where needed, the intention to bring a highly drinkable range of beer that will have you asking for another. We recommend you try: All Season - Nitro Dry Stout Forty Footer - West"

"It’s hard to believe Parallel 49 only opened a few years ago; the brewery has really exploded since opening. Their brews embody the fun of craft beer and their flavours showcase a diversity of original flavours. The tasting room acts as a refuge for beer afficiandos and newcomers alike, and allows visitors to enjoy sampler sizes of everything from ales, lagers, malts and popular seasonal brews."

"A massive overhaul to their taproom along with a more dedicated shift in focus to start creating some really inventive beer has Parallel ranking much higher than we would have given them credit for a few years back. They are on fire right now, and having the creative minds of Boombox in-house is just an added bonus."

"This is a local favorite and if you get there after 3pm on a Saturday you will be fighting for a seat after a long wait. Service can be a wild card and staff often looks overwhelmed but the beer is cheap. With the opening of their new tap room your even more likely to find a spot to get in."

"We like the fun branding of this new brewery coming to North Vancouver. And, fingers crossed that we’ll like their beers just as much. Once they open of course, but they’ve already teased their first brews!"

"While the BREWHALL’s magic is in feeling like a massive German brewhall, but there’s a reason they’ve been a multi-award winner for the annual Populist Awards and it’s because there’s also magic in the patio, beer, staff, community, really all of it. They also serve a mean brunch on the weekends and the patio is conveniently covered for when Raincouver is in town."

"While our beer hall is currently closed for dine-in, we're offering 20% off phone-in takeout orders and delivery services through Skip the Dishes (free delivery) and UberEats. Try the Cheeseburger, Crispy Chicken Burger, and BBQ Smokehouse"

"In the former hall that used to be Steel Toad, this European style brew-hall is self service which makes it pretty quick to grab a beer and go. Did we mention there are arcade games and pinball?"

"For a (very) traditional style bakery, head on over to Tartine bread and pies. This is the kinda joint you can count on for more savoury/lunch options if that’s more your thing. Address: 770 Beach AvenuePhone: 604-685-7437Website: www.tartine.ca"

"Located in Chinatown, New Town Bakery opened in 1980 and also has a location in Surrey. It is a Chinese bakery and also has a full service restaurant with fantastic dim sum. If you’re ordering from the bakery you’ll likely only need a bun or two."

"These guys have been serving up classic Chinese street food for close to 40 years. Your best bets are the BBQ Steamed Buns with a couple of apple tarts for dessert. Hours: Daily, 6:30AM-8:30PMWhere: 148 E Pender Street"

"It’s controlled chaos at New Town, so dive right in, grab a number and when it’s your turn, declare your order to the deadly efficient counter staff."

"A post shared by Vancouver Ice Cream 🍦 (@creamylicks) on May 5, 2019 at 6:18pm PDT. Maker of one of the city’s best birthday cakes, Sweet Somethings also has a great selection of ice cream. You can also order cones and pints to take home for a personal dessert party."

"If you’re looking for something a little less traditional and a little more diverse in style for your birthday celebrations, Remi Patisserie is definitely for you. This adorable bakery creates cakes where “you can find a little taste of France, Italy, and Asia in,” as quoted by the owner. We love his Cloud Cake but honestly, the entire menu is a must try and would work for a birthday cake, from rich Mango Sago cakes to elegant Thai Tea flavours, his cakes are almost too beautiful to eat, and the perfect gift for the birthday boy or girl in your life."

"Years ago, when he landed a summer job at a French Bistro, young and enterprising Remi Ho discovered the world of pastry making and was instantly inspired. His love for baking grew into a passion, and eventually resulted in a delightful bakery called Remi Patisserie located in Vancouver. This true success story melts our hearts, and the yummy treats Chef Remi concocts to perfection, keeps us going back for more."

"Melo is a newer entry on this list but they've sprung up as a viable option in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. This almond croissant features a good rise and a slight candied crunch to the top almond layer. The inside leaves much to be desired with only a smidgen of almond paste within."

"What happens when you combine traditional French and modern Vietnamese cooking?. Linh Cafe, of course. This family-style restaurant's atmosphere is cozy and fuss-free, the service is friendly, and the food is excellent."
