28 Best Craft Breweries in Vancouver

“Hotdogs and beer - what else do you need? If you're a fan of hoppy IPAs then they'll have more than enough selection; and I'm always pleased with their rotating cider offerings as a GF choice. Any hotdog can be made vegan/veggie and they also offer a basic kids hotdog for anyone less adventurous. Definitely give them a try!“

“Super helpful and friendly staff, they made it easy for a clueless beginner like me to get some delicious fresh beer brewed and I’ve been making regular visits ever since. The bottling process is strangely quite fun, if you go that route.“

“Recommend the Oak Stout, Truly spirited“

“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!“

“Such a fun and lively spot! This brewery has it all—from numerous taps of delicious craft beer to an impressive bottle shop! Easy to get to, an excellent location, once you are at Brassneck you will it want to go anywhere else for the night!“

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

“Good beer and good pizza! Lots of selection of ales on tap (and in cans/bottles). There are a surprising number of pizza options, including a couple of vegan pizzas and a daily special. Pizzas are thin crust with a good chew and tasty toppings. Like most of the breweries, service is self order the drinks and food.“

“For the first time in my life I took one sip of a beer and immediately knew I needed to find the creators and tell them they have done a good job.

Good job guys

Update:
I went back so I could try them all“

“Fantasic pizza! We tried just one - but oh my god, so good!
Also - check out the right side of the building for the entrance. Advice to management - please add signage on the main road cause the entry is very easy to miss and all you see are two doors. Almost felt like Google mistagged the business before we walked around to see the entry. Phew!“

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

“Great atmosphere and staff. And delicious beer 🍺“

“Love the cozy atmosphere (instead of noisy sports, you get Bob Ross and beer promos!), and the Kingpin Hazy Pale is one of my favourites. Avoid the food though; inedible microwaved garbage. Nothing personal, I love the place, but the food sucks. Just go to Steamworks or Brewhall for good pub grub.“

“Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon for a quick flight and snack. Really enjoyed this spot. Cool, retro vibe, great beer and absolutely fantastic customer service - they were super-friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend checking this place out. We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Red Truck is fantastic beer by fantastic people!“

“As a beer lover I was really happy to come here as they use a unique Czech pour style. Of course as a brewery they also have a great selection but I was more entertained by the special taps they have in place to provide a special foam experience. As someone who thought a lot of foam meant your bartender didn’t know how to pour I’ve learned something new. My server was very knowledgeable in her area and I appreciated her willingness to answer my very interests questions when it came to the specific Czech pouring standards.
When it comes to queer friendly dining I felt very comfortable here and they had all gender bathrooms“

“Nice little spot with great beer. After all, a brewery is only as good as it’s beer, and the brewmaster here is on their game. I like boozy beer, so the Destination New Zealabd IPA at 9.2% was my fave. My wife loved the Force Lager and the Peach Sour. Super friendly and helpful staff too. In a Vancouver sea of craft brewery’s, Container is definitely worth checking out.“

“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!“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“Parallel 49 has it all—from numerous taps of delicious craft beer to an impressive bottle shop and an outstanding wine list. The Aperol bar is such a fun touch, and the DJ music creates a great, upbeat atmosphere adding to patio experience.
There’s a food truck right inside with lots of fantastic vegetarian options, which makes it easy to grab a bite while enjoying your drinks. The whole place has a really fun, social vibe and feels like somewhere you could easily spend a few hours with friends. Definitely a must-visit for great beer, cocktails, wine, food, and music all in one place!“

“Thank you helping me look for my keys“

“Food was great, beer selections were very good. Ashleigh was our server he made the experience so much better by providing excellent service. He was kind, funny and an all around great person. Thank you Ashleigh, it was a pleasure meeting you!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic experience here! The atmosphere had a great vibe—lively and welcoming without being overwhelming—and the music was at just the right level to enjoy while still being able to have a conversation. The service was excellent, and our server was absolutely amazing! He was a tall, dark-haired gentleman—I believe his name was Matthew—and he really made our evening. His joke about “Scotty staying in the corner” was absolutely out-of-this-world hilarious and had us laughing so hard. 😂 It's those spontaneous, memorable moments that really make great service stand out. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and everything came together perfectly for a wonderful evening. An easy 5/5 experience. We would absolutely come back! ⭐️“

“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!!“

“We enjoyed 2 flights of beer in order to try them all! They were distinctly different and delicious! Our server, Brent, was outstanding and helpful! He truly served us in a friendly and professional manner. By the way, we also enjoyed the poutine and the beer pretzels- it made for a perfect light lunch! Cheers!🍻“

“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.“
