29 Best Craft Breweries in Vancouver

“Best beer in Canada. Staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. Lots of onsite choices and a few good Togo options. Pretty awesome food choices. The atmosphere was relaxing and their establishment was very clean. Overall if you want a delicious beer and a tasty bite to eat check them out.“

“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!“

“Recommend the Oak Stout, Truly spirited“

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

“Micro brewery with a wide variety of beers just outside of downtown Vancouver.

I enjoyed Old Geezer (English porter), Stockholm Syndrome (conditioned farmhouse saison) and Die Frische (fresh hopped pils). The hazy was very grassy and wasn’t my jam, but I prefer NEIPA.

The meat pie was very delicious. If you’re in the area, check it out!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Attended a private event at container brewing and just loved it. Staff is FANTASTIC. Food truck provided delicious eats- smash burgers, an array of tacos and quesadillas. Love ❤️. Beautiful outside area lit up with Edison lights. Beautiful and unique venue for small wedding. Cons- parking is limited to street parking which is always tight in Vancouver. Outside area is former parking lot and quite uneven. Minimal cons really and thoroughly enjoyed the private event at Container brewing“

“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 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.“

“Great atmosphere and staff. And delicious beer 🍺“

“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!“

“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 👍“

“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.“

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

“Re the most recent reviews. I was apart of the big run group that came in last night and I witnessed a good portion of the situation. The staff were slammed, (it was a bit hard to hear everything exactly) and trying their hardest to get everyone served and the group leaving the ridiculous reviews were being beyond difficult and expecting exclusive treatment when the bar was PACKED. The passive aggressive tone coming from the group was making others uncomfortable and I can only assume the staff. The group was asked to leave rather than order another beer and that’s when they got even worse. Others had to step in to defuse the situation because it was a pure gang up on the staff.
The staff did what any other person in their position would have done. Some people just don’t know how to act in public.“

“It completely slipped my mind to change the reviews but boy do these folks know how to right their wrongs! Had a bad experience not being able to get food after the kitchen closed early, the management team reached out and was very apologetic about the situation and offer a gift card as compensation. Went back to try to food and I am very happy to say I will be back!! The food was so delicious, plus their in house sodas are to die for as a non drinker. 10/10 All the stars 👍✨️ Go eat here“

“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!“

“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“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“Incredibly accommodating staff for my 5mo baby and husband. They seated us in a quieter section near a washroom with a change station. We relocated to a function (that was downstairs) and the staff helped us carry our stroller down. Second year that we've been here for a function and each time has been wonderful.“

“Thank you helping me look for my keys“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“
