10 Best Breweries in Coquitlam

"Opened by father-son duo Brian and Josh Michnik in 2013, 33 Acres Brewing Co. has quickly become one of the city’s most popular breweries, inadvertently beginning one of Vancouver’s most famous craft beer districts: Brewery Creek. Housed in a small converted storefront, this beautifully minimalist brewery serves up ice-cold pints, bottles and growlers of small-batch beers like their West Coast-style pale ale, 33 Acres of Ocean, or their beautifully grassy India Session Ale, 33 Acres of Echo. Besides a great menu for brunch and late-night noshing, you can also find rotating food trucks parked outside, depending on the day."

"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."

"What is it: This local brewery also serves pretty solid brunch fare on the weekends. Why go: Waffles with beer?"

"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."

"While Brassneck Brewery makes a range of delicious beers worth checking out at their rustic, industrial space on Main Street, what sets them apart is their experimental small-batch stuff. Check the rotating chalkboard for little-seen styles and taste their latest experiments, like the tart Viognier Changeling made with grape must, for example. Because production is so small, you’ll likely have to head to the tasting room to give yourself a try."

"This didn’t really come as a surprise, Brassneck is much beloved by both the public and the nerdiest of beer nerds out there. With their consistently rotating taps and the generally interesting beers being produced, the question wasn’t whether Brassneck would come out on tops, but just how far ahead of the rest it would be."

"Part of the so-called Yeast Vancouver scene—the appropriately dubbed "Brewery Creek" area of East Vancouver—Main Street Brewing sits in an industrial building from 1913. It’s an impressive spot, with high, slightly peaked, rough wooden ceilings, polished concrete floors, and a plywood filling station where regulars come to top up their growlers. Today, the large operation turns out a full slate of suds: five beers sold year-round and another 30 that rotate."

"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."

"Despite being one of the larger locations off of Main street, Main Street Brewing always seems to have a line outside. That’s a testament to the consistent quality of the beer from both the regular and experimental series."

"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."

"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. Address: 1-54 East 4th Ave, VancouverPhone: 604-336-0275"

"R&B Brewing Co. has become a staple spot for locals to hang out, sip a pint and grab a bite. If you're coming for the beer, you've got plenty of choice at R&B. Throughout the year, they brew all sorts of seasonal, limited releases, ciders, and year-round tipples."

"Tucked along Ontario Street’s busy bike route, this hey-it’s-a-hidden-hole-in-the-wall microbrewery is a cool classroom (with beer names like course numbers: take 408 or 710). And, like a college or university, the open-source brewery is keen to engage and encourage craft-beer education with its public recipes. Try its super-small-batch “pilot” beers released on “Experimental Beer Thursday” or the on-tap kombucha."

"Faculty Brewing Co. is the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Mauricio, the head brewer, and Alicia, the architect behind the brewery’s design. Relax on the patio and enjoy one of Faculty Brewing’s beers, Oddity Kombucha, cider, snacks and R&B Pizza. Faculty has also linked up with other local businesses to start Beervan delivering brews from a collective of small, independent businesses."

"A newbie to Vancouver, Faculty Brewing has been turning heads with their simplistic and laidback approach to the craft and decor. If beer’s not your thing (you probably wouldn’t be reading this, but anyhow), they also serve up Oddity Kombucha so you can fake it with your friends. Where | 1830 Ontario StreetWebsite"

"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."

"Big Rock started in Alberta, before expanding to both Vancouver and two locations in Ontario. Big Rock Urban Brewery & Eatery in Mount Pleasant has both a beer store with a growler fill bar, as well as a full-service restaurant and lounge that hosts live music weekly. Their food menu is very beer inspired, which is evident in dishes such as the Beer Bagel and Salmon Lox, and the stout BBQ-flavoured chicken wings and 16-hour dry ribs."

"We are the lower mainland's only organic brewery and we offer delicious unique and traditional brews that are non gmo, no pesticides, with locally sourced ingredients. Online orders are available through Foodora, Skip The Dishes, and Uber Eats."

"Chances are Dogwood’s location are what hurt them the most on this list, being right near Knight Street bridge off of SE Marine drive. That being said, they get credit for being the only brewery on this list that is 100% organic."

"Always a favorite stop for thirsty cyclists that have been biking on the Adanac and Mosaic routes that intersect here, Bomber Brewing (1488 Adanac Street), is one of several great Vancouver breweries in East Van, clustered around Commercial Drive (a great place to eat, before or after). The vibe here is casual and cozy. Monday nights are Movie Nights with free popcorn and $5 pints and the Tasting Room is open daily from 12pm-11pm."

"Bomber is so tucked away among bagel factories and other industrial buildings that I feel like it could surely be considered a hidden gem. Not only is the beer drool worthy, but they’ve got a bunch of tasty little bar snacks and board games so you can sit there all night and sip and play, or fill a growler and hit the road. Either way, your taste buds will thank you."

"Between the Bomber Russian Imperial Stout and the Parklife Passion Fruit Ale, you’ve got two killer beers. The tap room is small but cozy and that Adanac street beer route is fantastic."

"With its stylish and picturesque street-side patio, The Parlour is another great pick of outdoor dining spots. Serving up craft cocktails, casual fare, and a laid-back atmosphere, this pretty eatery makes for a relaxing dine-out get-a-way. They have a range of well-mixed cocktails and bar menu, and we highly recommend the Blackberry Smash."

"This place normally serves party pizza in its party-centric and very Yaletown venue. Although due to COVID-19 we’re all now partying less. So if you want party pizza at home, give Parlour a try.Options: Takeout or delivery with DoorDash"

"Vancouver has got so many tremendous pizza places that it’s entered a positive feedback loop. That’s right, you’ll be thankful you try the wood-fired deliciousness at this new spot in East Van, not overwhelmed by its appearance on the scene. Swing by for pizza and a glass of wine, or grab takeout for a night in."

"An American fast food with over 100 branches all over the world which serves fresh and healthy ingredients. They make their own beef and vegetables and serves them all fresh. So , you can have different taste of burgers and fast foods here."

"The cool part about Faubourg's almond croissant is the almond paste appears baked right in unlike most of the entrants which have the croissant sliced open to have the almond paste lathered on. The top layer in this almond croissant was sparse, and though the rise was great, the shell thinned out quickly leading to little flakiness. For $5, this looked pretty small and left a lot to be desired relative to other places on this list."

"Le Mont Blanc” is one of the pastries available at Faubourg, the scrumptious French bakery. It’s a spin on a classic, featuring chestnut mousse paired with a cassis gelée and sweet meringue, set over a sable breton.

"From triple chocolate decadence to passion fruit mousse, this bakery/cafe is a must-try for those wishing to be whisked away to Paris, right here in Vancouver."

"Every café sells baked treats, but Their There in the beachside neighborhood of Kitsilano takes its carbs as seriously as its caffeine. After all, the nuanced notes of a single-origin Kenyan coffee deserve the equally sophisticated sweetness of Thai tea cronuts with lemongrass glaze and candied Thai basil. Their There sources beans from roasters like Vancouver’s Luna, while baking kouign-amanns, croissants and donuts in house."

"Their There is brought to us by the same folks behind ultra-cool eatery AnnaLena. Aside from having a killer atmosphere in the heart of Kits, the new spot offers a delicious selection of breakfast sandwiches, lunchtime eats, and baked goods along with amazing coffee.

"Today was my first time eating 'their their 'the donuts are absolutely delicious and amazing, thank you for feeding my soul,the flavors almost ..."

"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?"
