10 Best Breweries in Burnaby

"Even if you hate dark beer (you should stop that) 33 Acres of Darkness is amazing, it’s like a dessert in a glass. Also the brewery itself has the friendliest staff, and tucked away from busy streets it’s like a beer oasis. Sometimes they have eclectic live music, sometimes it’s too loud to tell because it gets pretty busy (Ps- share the big table and make friends!)"

"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."

"Our vision was born out of enjoyment for the binding elements of life. The spirit of community sharing; Drink, food, conversation, space, and ideas. We carry a strong appreciation for the boundless limits created by hard work."

"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."

"On top of the fact that they encourage you to order food truck food from outside and then bring it into the tasting room, this brewery has so many wicked things going on. One Trick Pony is definitely that best 9% beer you’ll get in the city, if you’re into that kind of thing. Also in the summer they usually have really fruity, hibiscus infused beer which is great if you’re the kind of person who wouldn’t be caught dead with a sangria."

"Brassneck Brewery’s small tasting room in Mount Pleasant—just around the corner from Main Street Brewing in fact—is always brimming with loyal fans, no matter the day or season. The brewery began because the owners are truly, madly, deeply in love with beer. Their beer names are a lot of fun too—Bivouac Bitter, Bjørn Again, Passive Aggressive, Klutz!"

"Housed in one of Vancouver’s only remaining industrial heritage buildings, Main Street Brewing Co. (261 East 7th Avenue) is located inside the 1913 Vancouver Brewery Garage, which is in the historic Brewery Creek district where the original breweries once stood. Family-friendly and airy, the brewery Tasting Lounge is the best place to head for a filling combination of tacos and tipples. Try the chicken wings or charcuterie board, washed down with an appropriately named Main Street Pilsner, or dig into a plate of Little Mountain nachos with a Number Seven Saison."

"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"

"We’re a sucker for cool branding, so naturally we’re all over Main Street Brewing’s cans. They’re flavours are also unique and experimental, if you’re looking for something different than the typical. They also have a patio, which is why they’re on this list."

"R&B Brewing is one of Vancouver’s original microbreweries which has been serving up hoppy, golden froth since 1997. Located just off Main Street, you’ll hear punk rock, ska and folk music blasting out of their doors as you take in the sweet smell of boiling wart and the grinding roar of the mill out back. The team have recently given the space a total makeover, offering thirsty guests a retail growler station, funky fireplace meets book nook and spacious bar."

"Likened to the “well-loved hoodie” of Vancouver’s brewery scene, R&B’s beloved (and award-winning) brews include Vancouver Special IPA, Dude Chilling Pale Ale and Stolen Bike Lager. (The tongue-in-cheek names alone are award-worthy.) And the ’70s-era rec-room feel and soundtrack of its Ale and Pizza House make it a go-to gathering spot in the East Van ’hood. 1-54 E 4th Ave.,randbbrewing.com"

"A post shared by R&B Brewing Co. (@rbbrewing) on Feb 16, 2018 at 5:20pm PST. There’s something for all ages at this eclectic Mount Pleasant brewery. It’s family-friendly, especially during the day (nighttime gets pretty shoulder-to-shoulder busy)."

"Close to Bomber Brewing, Off the Rail (1351 Adanac Street) started as a way for founder Steve to share his love of craft brewing. His parents owned the famous Vancouver music bar The Railway Club and he introduced patrons to craft brewing there before moving to Mission in BC to grow hops when his parents sold the club. Now the handcrafted brews are available in the Tasting Room, alongside snacks from East Side Beer Food if you’re feeling peckish."

"If you haven’t tried the Raj Mahal India Ale then you’re doing yourself a disservice. The tasting room is bright and cheery, and the staff always seem to be in a positive mood. Another great spot along Adanac."

"South American inspired cuisine with an Andean flare & Colombian influenced - Finger food pub-style items. Individual or sharable portions. We recommend: Platachos (Nachos with Plantain Chips) Empanadas (Beef and Veggie) Ceviches (Fish, Shrimp"

"Showing off the classic spirit of beer, family&friends, good music and culture and of course passion. Giving off amazing full bodied, crisp and smooth Ales and Lagers. We would recommend grabbing a few friends and heading down there."

"Big Rock Urban Brewery got its start in Calgary but recently flew west to open up a state of the art facility in Vancouver where they prepare craft brews exclusively for the YVR market. It’s a great place to sip with an empty stomach as the breweries urban eatery offers a comfortable lounge featuring floor-to-ceiling glass wall looking into the brewery, and a stage for live bands to play to the boisterous beer crowd. Nibble on the kimchi poutine and fire roasted jalapeno cheddar grilled cheese while sipping through a fancy flight poured fresh out of a choir of casks."

"With an open & inviting dining room, a comfortable lounge featuring a floor-to-ceiling glass wall looking into the brewery, and a stage ready for all performers, Big Rock Urban Eatery has something for everyone. Serving beers brewed right here at home"

"We didn’t really consider Dockside Brewing the first few times we were on Granville Island, because it’s located alongside the Dockside Restaurant that is usually swarming with tourists, but that doesn’t take away from the tasty beer, so it’s worth a stop, especially after a long day of walking around the island. Location: 1253 Johnston St. Website: http://docksidevancouver.com/about/. Other tours you may enjoy:"

"Many may not realize that Granville Island is home to two breweries, with the Granville Island Hotel housing its own onsite brewing facility. Dockside earns some good brownie points for having an excellent waterfront patio, but loses some for being fairly pricey."

"Ordered the traditional poutine and it was less than half of the cheese and gravy you would expect and the fries are frozen and very or..."

"3950 Main Street, Vancouver Tel: (604) 873-1172 Web: https://oldbird.ca/ Instagram @oldbirdrestaurant Advice: No reservations, walk-ins only. With it’s focus on Chinese cuisine with attitude, Executive Chef Deseree Lo has put together a wonderful menu of dishes from the places were…"

"A post shared by Jennifer (@jennyh514) on Mar 5, 2018 at 1:24pm PST. The original king of cheap food court eats, Costco is reliable, costs next to nothing, and somehow still overwhelms with massive portions. Their large hot dog plus a bottomless pop for $2 is an iconic pick."

"The famous American fast food started their work back in 1995. They are very reasonable fast food due to their low prices and delicious food. They serve burgers, chicken burgers, and even delicious ice-cream and shakes."

"The famous American fast food started their work back in 1995. They are a very reasonable fast food due to their low prices and delicious food. They sere burgers, chicken burgers and even delicious ice-cream and shakes."

"But locals sometimes grumble about high prices at the more upmarket stands – which makes cash-only Hamburger 2.85 (corner of Granville Street and West Pender Street) a breath of meaty, fresh air. Named after the price of its staple offering, expect peak-time line-ups for its teriyaki-sauced patties, crispy lettuce, thick tomato slices and toasted buns – the kind of burgers that put rubbery fast-food versions to shame."

"Burger $2.85--which rebranded a couple of years ago as Wakwak Burger--is definitely a Vancouver street food gem. From classic burgers with their special sauce to things like crispy chicken burgers and their sides of fries, it’s no wonder Wakwak Burger always ends up on many a local’s guide for the best cheap eats."

"A post shared by Josh Tan (@jkyletan) on Jul 22, 2015 at 6:12pm PDT. Wakwak burger sells not one, not two, but several of the burgers on their menu for $2.85. And we’re not talking about a sad burger that’s a bun and done, no, it’s got all the size, toppings, and flavour to be a serious contender."

"Bennies for brunch 🍳 When eating out I try to stick to proper food combining for meals. Since restaurant food is usually heavier and richer, following a system that makes it easier to digest helps maintain some balance. ⚖️ Ideally, fruit should be eaten alone and meals should be primarily protein and vegetables or carbohydrates, fats and vegetables."

"From the genius crew that bought you KOFFIE, comes Lower Lonsdale’s latest lovely land of lattes and lungos!. Winston looks tiny from the outside but it’s a monster venue when you get in. With vaulted ceilings and a kick-ass mezzanine level, there’s loads of seating to perch your coffee-loving cheeks."

"Mouth-watering brunch and a New York vibe – Winston has set up their patio for the season!. They have a full espresso bar with different coffee roasters featured, as well as beer and wine. 228 Lonsdale Ave.8AM to 2PM – seven days a weekwinston-on-lonsdale.com"

"One of Vancouver’s most popular brunch spots, The Twisted Fork Bistro uses high-quality ingredients for their traditional brunch dishes. Family-friendly and casual, the restaurant draws in early morning crowds looking for a taste of their notable eggs Benedict, spiced up with chorizo sausage. Patrons also love their scones, accompanied by the bistro’s own jams."

"Twisted Fork Bistro is an unlikely gem amongst the sea of bright lights along the Granville Street strip. This restaurant is only open for breakfast and brunch, serving up comforting dishes from 8 am until 3 pm every day. The menu is chock-full of tempting dishes with options like a sweet banana stuffed brioche French toast."
