15 kinds of Rogue Beer? Holy hops man. I didn't even know there were that many flavours made.
This is by far my favorite-ist store in all of Vancouver. Mmm Heavenly Beer.
Both times I have been here I have had awesome service from their staff. They…More »
2. 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 »

Oh, where for art thou wicked micro beer for this Canuck to haul back home?
There is a bad stereotype up here that American beer sucks! WRONG. While wandering around yesterday before my dreaded flight home, I thankfully and miraculously discovered…More »

Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Looks can be deceiving!
To say this place is a little rough around the edges is an understatement. I think it would be a downright shit-show late on a Friday night. Heck, they were tossing a thief out on the street the other night and it was only a…More »

They're open on Labour Day!
Great, cause I needed an unoaked Chardonnay stat for a marinade in progress.
I found a decent bottle of BC vino for about $15 (not much more than BCL) and so far I think my marinade is pretty stellar.
They have a really…More »

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 »

Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
It's a liquor store!
Why only three stars?
Well, their beer section is as weak as a watered down draft on East Hastings.
I stood staring at the small barley wall for eons as if at Blockbuster trying to figure out what the hell I needed. Why do they have…More »

COLD BEER!
Holy Barley Vancouver. They've got fridges with cold beer in em.
Oh glorious cold beer at non off-sales prices.
I stopped in to this new location (uh, it opened in July apparently) to buy a bottle of Scotch for a Robbie Burns themed tasting…More »

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 »

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 »
11. The Honest Butcher
Face Bacon.
You had me at hello Piggy!
This has got to be a new low/high for scandalous breakfast side options in Vancouver.
No no no, I don't just want to eat pig fat in the morning. I want you to cut it off its face first and then slap it down on…More »
