40 Best Craft Breweries near Richmond

“great place I will go again next time I'm in Richmond“

“What an amazing addition to the community. They have a great selection of their own beer, amazing cocktails (highly recommend the smashed apple) and a really great assortment of food! My new favourite place! I can’t wait to spend spring and summer days in the huge park area out front!“

“*Special event on...everyone is still kind and quick to help. Retail of any sort isn't easy but they make it look like it is!*

Awesome place with Vancouver's best beer. It's crazy how good round after round of new creations are made. Patio is nice, inside is spacious and bright.“

“I had great service here overall. Vincent’s been great and really knows his stuff with the kegs!

Make sure to check your account is applied before payment, it was disappointing to learn that loyalty points couldn’t be added after the purchase even if the account was made well before the transaction.

I just wanted to mention the gas line fastener might be a bit loose-it clicks and resets when I try to tighten it, so it could be faulty. I’ll give it another try later since I was getting some backsplash from my brew. **UPDATE I had a spare gas line fastener from a home brew setup I got from marketplace which worked when I tightened it. The fasteners from what I googled are meant to be single use, I think I just got unlucky with the faulty fastener but the gas regulator works perfectly!“

“Stopped in here for lunch and a brew today. Really great spot! Excellent food, a good selection of beers. Parking available on both sides of the road. Working farm/brewery and a great vibe. My grilled cheese sandwich was loaded with cheese and a wonderful carmelized onion jam. I chose a potato salad side which was very tasty. Will come back when we're in the neighbourhood. Beer guru (hubby) especially liked the Irish Stout, said it was very creamy and smooth.“

“Some of the best beer i have had, and by far the best in town. The beer is very unique, not like every other brewery. Initially, I thought the beer would be very dark and strong but they’re all smooth while still full bodied. If you want a one of a kind brewery experience, this is the place.“

“Recommend the Oak Stout, Truly spirited“

“Intimate and fun! Great atmosphere with really good beer!“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Very nice place with a great selection of beers. I would definitely try goodbye Vienna for a very smooth creamy drink and a quibbler for a very strong electric taste. I loved the music and how friendly the staff are. Overall very good experience :)“

“always a great place to sit and have a beer with friends. Doggie friendly too.“

“Great beer and such friendly staff!!“

“We visited the Slow Hand Beer Company and were welcomed by both the very friendly and helpful staff as well as the quality and variety of the beers. Based on the top quality and diversity of the beers from Slow Hand, Boom Box, and Temporal, East Vancouver is in for a treat once they open up at their new location down the street as Threefold Brewing Collective. Highly recommended.“

“Awesome! Great view, will be perfect for summer.“

“My favorite brewery in lower mainland. Sketchy yet really cool. Every time I visit, I meet wholesome people here. Staff is so lovely! Super dog friendly. My pupper always has a blast here.

They bravely experiment with their beers.
I'd suggest tasters first if you have doubts.

I can see this not being everyone's cup of tea, I love this place tho!“

“Great beers, friendly staff. Perfect place to grab a beer with friends or relax with a pint and a book.“

“A wonderful experience with great food and really good beer. We like the pizza so much we ended up ordering a second one. We ordered beers from all three different breweries. My wife has always been a boombox fan since day one and she was not disappointed with Final Fantasy. I stayed with lagers and I had to get a Temporal liminal space. Absolutely great to have all of these breweries together and even better for Vancouver to have them. We will go again next time in Vancouver you have to check this place out.“

“Absolutely awesome place!! Great food and drinks, and some good toys for little kids to play. Customer service is excellent too: they helped us get a table on a super busy Saturday night and kindly let us wait inside while we were waiting :)“

“Great atmosphere and staff. And delicious beer 🍺“

“Great brewery, but the bartender poured me a flat radler and insisted there was no carbonated batch, even though I’d enjoyed a properly carbonated one here just the day before.

Solid beer at most times, but this experience wasn’t ideal. Still **one of the best** breweries in the lower mainland though.“

“The indoor space is simple and unpretentious—nothing fancy—but the beer more than makes up for it. Their IPA lineup is one of the best in Metro Vancouver. Each IPA has a clear, distinct flavor profile without going overboard on the hops. If you care more about quality beer than décor, this place delivers.“

“Love this new brew! Nice and smooth like a summer evening. Will be definitely enjoying more of these as we roll into spring and summer!“

“My husband and I came out on Friday evening and were served some tasty drinks by Liam. We enjoyed some great banter along with one of the locals. Between the both of them, we felt so welcomed. He knew he could give us shit for being from Seattle and for heading to the Canucks/Kraken game and we enjoyed every bit of it.
My husband enjoyed their hazy pale ale so much, we came back on Sunday before heading back home. We met Barbara and again, impressed by the kindness we received! We can't recommend this place enough!“

“Great vibes and good beer here. They also have a patio as well. It’s a great location in the Mount Pleasant area.

The place also has a separate retail store next to it, so you can buy their beers to go. I can definitely recommend their no.7 saison. It was very satisfying.

The food is alright, not the best. It’s still good but it could use a little improvement. The nachos ingredients could have been distributed more evenly instead of piled up just on the top. The tacos seemed a bit dry. Perhaps some condiments with it would help? 🤷🏻‍♂️

But regardless the food didn’t discourage me. I was here for the beer and the beer is indeed good 👍“

“A cool place to stop on the classic brewery tour in Vancouver is this fantastic spot with a great selection of beers (with a European flair), house-made wine, and cider. They also host cool events throughout the year—like the unforgettable Dead Fellows Halloween event and Krampusmarkt. It’s worth checking out! Currently, they have an amazing chef Doug Lee who makes the most delicious food. We go several times a week. Run, don’t walk there!“

“I just wanted to stop in and sample the lagers. All three lagers were so well done. Balanced and Nuanced!! I love the Lupollo commitment to a safer space. I think that’s really important and their sign is one of the clearest I have seen in Vancouver. The staff is always accommodating always great and the room was wonderful on a rainy sunday afternoon.“

“I was on one of my spur-of-the-moment long wandering walks on a very warm sunny Friday afternoon for my vitamin D intake. It was just after noon when I was on the False Creek Seawall approaching Science. I needed lunch and a cold drink and I remembered a friend had recommended RTB to me. The GPS on my phone soon promptly took me there.

It was after the lunch rush by the time I got there. It wasn’t very busy and I was able to find a table on the patio after I had placed the order.

I took my Road Trip Classic Lager with me to the table while I waited for my corned beef hash with fried eggs. The lager was crisp, light and refreshing and it went down quickly but I made sure there would be enough left with my lunch.

My over easy eggs on the hash was fried perfectly with brown edges while the yolks were still running to allow the creamy cholesterol goodness seep down to the potatoes and corned beef pieces underneath. The hash was seasoned perfectly with no spices overpowering the potatoes and corned beef pieces.

I had a very nice lunch in a somewhat industrial surroundings. Other than a transport truck backing in to the loading dock next to the patio when I was there, everything else seemed to have come to a standstill affording the patrons a lazy Friday afternoon.“

“I absolutely love Cervecería Astilleros. My favorite is the Grapefruit Lager, it tastes like a Paloma in beer form and it is seriously delicious. Every time I go, I am surprised because there are always new rotating seasonal beers to try. One of my favorites was the Piña Colada beer, truly a treat. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. And you cannot leave without trying the OG Salted Lime Lager, wow. As a Mexican, the first sip took me straight to a beach in Mexico 😍❤️“

“Such a great spot to stop by for a cold beer and some light snacks! 🍻
Love the chill, laid-back atmosphere!! perfect for unwinding after work or catching up with friends. They often have fun events during the week like trivia nights that keep things lively and fun!

Now that they’ve got a food truck on-site, it’s even better! 🙌
Perfect place for mini dates, casual hangouts, or weekend meetups. You can even bring your crew for board games!

Definitely one of my go-to local breweries!“

“Just a can of The Toques of Hazard white IPA 9.2 Alc. Tasted really grest even though it's a strong beer it was very tasty and full of flavor . I think one or maybe two cans is enough as it is as strong . Highly recommended go try it you will love it!!!“

“First time here, before heading to a show at the Wise Hall. Ordered the muffuletta Sando and chips and queso. Excellent portions, we didn’t run out of queso before the chips were finished, which is always a pet peeve of mine. The muffuletta was huge as described in the menu, and was amazing. We’ll be back!“

“friendly… good cocktails and beers“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“Lucky enough to visit this wonderful establishment during our time in Vancouver. Pretty much everything you would expect from a large brewery in a tourist hotspot, meant in the best way! Despite the size, service was warm, friendly and speedy. It was quite loud and busy, a bit too much for our liking but no reason to drop a star“

“Thank you helping me look for my keys“

“A highly recommended brew pub from friends who have visited Vancouver. Great friendly staff and a busy place on a Friday night and I would suspect all the time.
Terrific local brews but, sadly, their kitchen was a bit rushed and my FISH AND CHIPS selection was disappointing. Chips were terrific .....cooked crisp as requested with a lovely flavour but the fish batter wasn't drained properly and fried too thick which overwhelmed the taste and completely lost the fish.“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“A great brewery in South Vancouver. I enjoyed my visit to Dogwood Brewery. Enjoyed the relaxed comfortable environment and enjoyed games and drinks. I enjoyed the food offered that was prepared per order. Plenty of free street parking and a small parking lot. A great place to have an event.“

“Absolutely loved my visit to Yaletown Brewing Company! From the moment I walked in, the host was so welcoming and the service from our server was fantastic — friendly, attentive, and professional. The food and drinks were top-notch, especially the craft beer selection and cocktails. Such a cozy and vibrant atmosphere — perfect for a night out with friends or a casual dinner. I’d definitely come back and highly recommend this place!“

“Life of a transit operator, we see lots of things when we work. My joy is trying new restaurants, coffee shops, dessert shops and curiosity arise to my eyes when there is lots of customers in a place. I try Bells and Whistles today with my daughter. I admit the fish tacos was delicious for appetizer. We order popcorn shrimps and try one of their new feature cheese burger with jalapeños plus fries too. My food was good and I like my food hot not cold. The waitress was very helpful and courteous.“
