1. Alibi Room
I wish there was a sixth barley soaked, hoppy scented star that I could add to my review. I truly love the Alibi Room!
The best of the best, pints down.
Check out their wintry beer menu right now. I had a couple brilliant Winter Ales the other night.…More »

I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Shabeen Room. I had a flank steak with bone marrow jus that literally filled my plate high. Maybe it was the yummy mashed potato base it was on, but who cares. It was so frikkin good. Plus, plenty of left…More »

Best burger in Vancouver!
My Storm Black Plague Stout was fandiddly, thanks Rose.
The moment I sank my teeth in the Whip Burger I knew this was a five star kinda night. Next time I would take the option of splitting the sides (fries and a salad) as…More »

3 stars for Steamworks:
1* You can always get in on a Friday night for one last pint before passing out
2* You can get a couple free samples of their draft before finally deciding on a pricey brewski
3* They fill Growlers for about $10 if you have your…More »
5. Howe Sound Inn & Brewing Co
How can you go wrong with a taster tray of 12 different beers?
Well... a designated driver is a pretty good idea for starters.
Or, wait a sec, there's Inn in the name for a reason. Not sure what the rooms are like here, but I can imagine after a couple…More »
6. Yukon Brewing Company
"Beer Worth Freezin For"
Best slogan ever!
Everytime I go home to Whitehorse I make it a priority to stop in at the Brewery for a quick visit. They offer free tours, ya, FREE. And they always have a few extra special brews on tap to taste along with…More »
7. Bard and Banker
How can I not at least give them four hoppy stars!
They serve Caffrey's on tap.
The grub was as good as it gets for pub fare. And they happily changed the channel away from the NFL to the Canucks.
I know this is smack dab right in the middle of tourist…More »

Stopped in for a few pints after our Robbie Burns Day Scotch tasting.
I have been here a few times over the years when visiting friends on the "other side" of Vancouver.
Never really impressed me that much. But this time, I was happy to see Howe Sound…More »

I have avoided Rogue like the plague.
It's in a train station... right?
Well... serves me right for being so judgmental. I have missed a great place for pints and grub. All those times waiting to get into The Alibi Room or just giving up and heading…More »

Neighbourhood: Point Grey
Their beer selection just gets better and better.
I stopped in to pick up a birthday gift (an '05 Pinotage) and quickly found myself chatting with their beer ninja next to the fridges.
They may need to reno this store soon, as space is running out…More »

Kerrisdale, the new mecca for Craft Beer!
Say what?
I discovered this newly opened gem last week, so new they were furiously stocking the beer fridges with everything hoppy.
I'm not intending to come across as an alchy here, but I have to admit that I…More »
12. Brewery Creek Liquor Store
Vancouver, BC V5T 3G6
(604) 872-3373
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Mount Pleasant
Another case of too much hype? Or the legend not living up to the hoppy reality?
I walked in expecting to be floating on frothy beer foam clouds, with barley angels greeting at the door, and malty aromas wafting about. But... sadly beer heaven was…More »

Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Fairview Slopes
Not really sure why it has taken me so long to pay Firefly a visit?
This five star review of their beer selection was a no-brainer.
They've got an even better beer selection than Brewery Creek!
A massive walk-in cooler full of hoppy awesome-ness.
So…More »

Category:
Local Flavor
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
I foolishly tried to keep up with The Don on the Thursday and subsequently drank my Canadian self into a hoppy stupor. Two dinners later and I was still as loaded as a 15 year old in their Dad's open liquor cabinet.
I must have uttered this to myself…More »
15. Walking Man Brewing
I felt at home the moment I stepped into this bar.
The loud chatter,clanging pint glasses, and hoppy air wafting about. Little did I realize that my hometown brewery graced the walls. Yukon Brewing (Cheechako/Chilkoot).
On my stool I settled into a…More »
16. Boneyard Beer
Why is is so difficult to review Boneyard?
The best I can come up with a month later is that words can't do this place justice. It's just perfect!
The coolest owners and staff in the business. Their beer is the best in Bend pints down. And…More »

I have been to the Cascade Room a handful of times.
Whether meeting up with a Craft beer rep for some sampling or a good friend when it's been "ages since we've met up"... I always love it here.
Last week they had a killer…More »
