10 Best Breweries and Beer Places 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."

"Correct us if we’re wrong, but we also don’t know of any brewery in Canada that doubles as a roastery. Sure, there’s the uber-popular Modern Times in LA, but that’s it. So, knowing that House of Funk has its own roasting program to boot really sets them apart from the rest of the pack."

"A great micro brewery run by three lad's, two brothers and a close friend started off working retail but ended up opening one of Vancouver's best Breweries, coming up with amazing creations such as the Altbier, a delicious Pale Ale that is complex and tasty or the Kolsch, a traditional German Ale hailing form the city of Koln."

"Going complex is all well and good, but sometimes you just need simple finely crafted beer and that's where Green Leaf comes in, giving us a great crisp larger, cold an uncomplicated just the way we like it, or a nice Pie Hole Pale Ale, reminding us of the simpler times."

"Located in Lonsdale Quay Market, Green Leaf brews up both beers and kombucha. That’s a pretty fun mix, plus they let you order whatever you want to the tasting room. Perfect for when the group has about 8 different ideas on what to eat."

"While we will absolutely defend their excellent small batch series beers (the Japanese Biere De Garde was one of the best beers in 2017), it just wasn’t enough to move the needle on the votes. The tap room does enjoy a massive tourist influx, so I don’t think they’ll be hurting anytime soon."

"Granville Island Brewing is Canada's first craft brewery founded in 1984. We strive to deliver the highest quality craft beer to locals and visitors alike from our original brewery at 1441 Cartwright St. We have recently launched our direct"

"One of Canada's first Micro breweries, they have stood the test of time and perfect their art giving us a great selection of unique and delicious beer's fitting the West Coast vibe, each named after an iconic place in Vancouver...."

"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?"

"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."

"A post shared by The Coffee Bar (@coffeebar_gastown) on Mar 19, 2020 at 4:42pm PDT. As it says in the name, this is the coffee bar. Stop by here for a cup of coffee, a nice pastry, and to just hang out in general."

"One of Gastown's most popular cafes serving properly pulled 49th Parallel espresso. Much of their baking is done in-house daily; other high-end items are sourced locally. Enjoy savouring your latte?"

"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."

"This super cozy bar in Kits is a great place to grab a casual or have a bite to eat. The small space always has a great atmosphere making the Corduroy a top spot to head for a relaxed dining experience. Address: 1943 Cornwall Avenue, VancouverPhone: 604-733-0162"

"Residing at the heart of downtown Vancouver’s financial district, the Heritage Asian Eatery is actually a counter-service restaurant. They serve the delicious flavours brought straightaway from the Far-East, it is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Vancouver. Prepared with local ingredients and traditional techniques, getting a taste of these delicious delicacies is indeed blissful."

"Chef Felix Zhou makes Bao buns at the Heritage Asian Eatery in Vancouver. Ben Nelms/The Globe and Mail. Quick-service casual is the fastest-growing dining segment in North America and we're bound to see much more of it."

"Co-founder and Chef Felix Zhou originally hails from southwest China sets the tone at this hip “fast-casual” restaurant, where Edison bulbs hang over a long communal wooden table and diner queue up for counter service."
