25 Best Craft Breweries in Vancouver

“Really fun place to hang out and chill that the surrounding neighborhood meets up. The food is decent, but the rotating beer selection makes things interesting. Servers seem they enjoy working here and crack jokes with you. Highly recommend“

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

“A "must visit" for anyone interested in craft beer brewing, Terminal City sits in the niche between serving the home brew market and being a specialist microbrewery. A wonderful selection of ingredients is complemented by a wide range of beers and wines. The staff are very helpful and friendly, giving advice on how they could tailor production to specific requirements.“

“Recommend the Oak Stout, Truly spirited“

“The service was so nice!!
We were given recommendations on a mystery flight. I was pleasantly surprised with every beer that I had eventhough I really hate beer usually.

Peach is a must try! Hopefully if anyone visits, it'll still be there.“

“Great atmosphere and staff. And delicious beer 🍺“

“Very tasty experimental beer. Went there as a venue to visit on the Yeast Van Passport I purchased. Tried grapefruit radler (really taste the fruit), the red hot ale (very spicy but well blended), Turkish delight ale, and vanilla whiskey stout.
Nice vibe, but standing room only as you're really in the middle of a brewery.“

“**Edit: To the owner, thank you for addressing my comment. I really like Container Brewing. **

I love this place. They have been excellent hosting events for fundraisers, parties and more. But the other night put the sourest of tastes in our mouths.

There were multiple tables still sitting in the bar, and one server was insistent that our group, having just come from the sauna experience (also incredible), "skidaddle". She was drunk herself, and one of the rudest people I have ever met in the industry.“

“Been to the concert series 3 years in a row and will continue to go“

“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.“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“Came in late on a Sunday. Server very gracious. Read all the signs, lots happening here. Specials, happy hour menus, pop ups, cocktail menu.

Bless these intrepid Beer-tenders.

Pro-tip: hit the beer market in the far side and get some heavily discounted beers. EASTVAN CRAFT LAGER FTW“

“Hazy IPA was great. Pale ale was pretty good too. Sadly, no dark beers available. A couple of sour beers. Several lagers and an interesting beer that was mainly foam. They had a special for Monday with 25% off food, so we got pizza and a calzone. Both the cherry pizza and the calzone were very tasty. Five stars because the pizza was so good. Nice outside area was great and our server was wonderful. They allow dogs there, but there are strict rules.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 👍“

“Love R&B for the atmosphere and awesome beer, have been coming to this place for ages. This is just a warning - THE CITY IS RUTHLESS ON PARKING TICKETS HERE! There is only 1hr parking on the entire block, so don't stay for more than a pizza and a pint! Seems unfortunate for the business.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great place on the beautiful Granville Island. I only had beers, but they were all fantastic. The staff was super nice and helped with suggestions. While I haven't tried any food, many tables around did, and everything smelled super good. Highly recommend!“

“Thank you helping me look for my keys“

“Went to Vancouver Brewing Company on Saturday early evening prior to the Whitecaps game. We were sat in the dining area which was very nice, the noise level increased gradually over the time we were there but was not too intrusive. As it was towards the end of the happy hour we chose from the happy hour menu. We shared the nachos and had beer and wine to go with. The nachos were quite tasty and the serving was sufficient for both of us to share. We would return to Yaletown Brewing Company again to enjoy more of the main menu.“

“Came here for dinner in May recently after spending the afternoon exploring the city.
Thought it was just a normal pub and did not expect this place to be so large with multiple storeys.
The atmosphere was nice.

Food was nice and service was good.
There is a large selection of beers but the stout was not available.“

“Super cute little spot off Southwest Marine Drive that is charming, welcoming and has some nice brews and bites. Dog friendly which is super awesome (they have a dog wall!).
Sorry the photo has half eaten and half drank beer, I had to dive in before remembering to take a picture haha“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“
