10 Best Breweries in Port Moody

"The all-white, Insta-worthy aesthetic of this abuzz hipster hangout near Brewery Creek/Main Street is tempered by serious beer cred, from new-mainstay 33 Acres of Ocean Pale Ale to black lagers and other seasonals. And for non-imbibing patrons (shout out to designated drivers), there’s also a full-on coffee program. (Here, baristas know their craft coffee and beer.) 15 W 8th Ave.,33acresbrewing.com"

"With its clean, modern lines and white-on-white color scheme, 33 Acres is like the Apple of local craft brewers. Every design detail, from the pristine walls and polished concrete floors to the evocative monochromatic bottle labels, exudes a chill, bleeding-edge sophistication. We love the 33 Acres of Ocean, a West Coast–style IPA that isn’t off-the-charts when it comes to booziness."

"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."

"Brassneck Brewery (2148 Main Street) offers great sample paddles and has knowledgeable staff — the small-scale brewery wants to keep things simple by just offering growlers to go, kegs and tastings on site at the Growler Room & Tasting Room. You won’t find any cans or bottles here. But you will find some ‘dangerously drinkable’ dry hopped sours, hazy IPAs and imperial stouts on tap."

"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."

"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"

"Vancouver’s answer to a beer garden (yes, pretzels are on the menu, as well as free-range chicken wings) with leafy trees and twinkly string lights inside an exposed-brick, 20-foot-ceiling tasting room that’s set within a historic industrial warehouse. Oh, and the cool-graphic beer labels (like Naked Fox IPA) make for merch you actually want. 261 E 7th Ave., mainstreetbeer.ca"

"Offering a casually cool outdoor patio, that is wide, spacious and perfect for some down time, this is another must-visit spot you shouldn’t miss."

"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"

"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"

"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."

"One of the original players in Vancouver’s beer evolution, brewer James Walton (a.k.a. “Mad Scientist”) began making unpasteurized concoctions some 25 years ago, and that gritty aura of ’90s-era East Van lingers here (to wit: the graffiti-style mural outside). Sample gnarly brews (“Brainstorm” beers, like Orange Creamsicle ale) in the “yes, this is a warehouse” tasting room. 310 Commercial Dr.,stormbrewing.org"

"Storm is unique because there isn’t a tasting room, and you can’t just pop in for a pint. It’s go big or go home, go fill up your growler, take a tour, pick up a keg and get the heck out (kidding, the staff is lovely). Though you can’t lounge, you can taste a bunch of beer for a cash donation which is pretty sweet, plus it’s right on Commercial and has been brewin’ since ‘94 which is also cool."

"The complete opposite of 33 Acres brewing, the OG of craft beer in Vancouver is going strong after more than 20 years. Look, Storm may smell weird, something may stick to your shoes, and you may see a rat or two but that’s all the reasons why they are so well beloved. The DGAF attitude translates into the sometimes insane beer options, and they are a can’t miss brewery in Vancouver."

"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."

"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."

"We like the fun branding of this new brewery coming to North Vancouver. And, fingers crossed that we’ll like their beers just as much. Once they open of course, but they’ve already teased their first brews!"

"The Vancouver Art Gallery’s world-class reputation is well earned, not only for its extensive permanent collection of Canadian art, but also for its rotating exhibitions which showcase art from some of the world’s most renowned collections—everything from Renaissance portraiture to interactive contemporary installations."

"The Art gallery at Vancouver will take you to see the power of art. This art gallery is the most interesting and innovative visual art institution. There is no lack of culture in Vancouver."

"A post shared by Chimgee Anderson (@chimgeeanderson) on Oct 28, 2017 at 2:48pm PDT. LeSoleil Gallery offers fine art collections including original paintings and sculptures by French Impressionists such as Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh. The gallery also displays the artwork of established modern artists such as Johanan Herson, Elena Yampolsky and Shai Mandel."

"Housed in the historic Wing Sang building (51 East Pender Street), which is Chinatown’s oldest building (1889), the Rennie Museum is a private collection owned by real estate mogul Bob Rennie. Local and international artists are showcased in the gallery and free tours are available to the public. Continue to 9 of 10 below."

"A private museum that you have to book to get into, but definitely worth the minimal effort required. Make a story out of the exhibition, and take a main page post on the roof, it’s a win-win scenario. Definitely one of the coolest buildings you can check out in Vancouver."

"Make sure to stop off for a drink at Keefer Bar and Fortune Sound Club and check out Rennie Collection at Wing Sang (which offers free entry). You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"Lemongrass chicken in a soft and pillowy bun—now tell me even the sound of that doesn't make you smile and rub your belly."

"Starting off our list is the pair who really need no introduction. Doug and Lindsey are already famous for co-founding the DownLow Chicken Shack, and then exceeding expectations with DownLow Burgers at The American with a menu that will make your mouth water. Right off the bat, their signature burger The Merch presents a classic mix of a juicy beef patty, cheddar, onion, tomato, pickle, and their special Merch Sauce."

"Downlow Burgers specializes in the smash method of making burgers – each patty is smashed firmly into a flat shape to create maximum crust for that extra flavour. All burgers are made with special dry-aged beef grind from Two Rivers Meats and"

"A post shared by Rodney’s Oyster House (@rodneysoysterhouse) on Oct 20, 2018 at 1:13pm PDT. Rodney’s Oyster Bar gives Vancouver an awesome Maritime culinary seafood experience. Both it’s Gastown and Yaletown locations are open daily so there is more than enough time in your day for your mouth to metaphorically take a trip out to the East Coast for a meal."

"If your idea of a date night leans more towards something a little casual, Rodney's Oyster Bar does the trick. While the atmosphere is laid back, the romance comes to play in the form of some tasty bi-valves, known for their aphrodisiac properties. They offer a simple menu made with fresh ingredients, mainly from the sea."

"Sometimes you just need a plate of oysters, a glass of wine filled--literally--to the brim, and a little escape from the day. Rodney's always has a celebratory vibe, even if all you're celebrating is Wednesday. It's like a free show watching them greet guests, and make the chowder to order at the counter."

"A post shared by Bridges Restaurant (@bridgesvancouver) on Aug 26, 2018 at 8:36am PDT. This is one of the largest patios in the Vancouver area with one of the best views. Not to mention, Bridges also has two patios, which means double the opportunity to soak up some sunshine."
