I enjoyed the beer tour at Granville Island Brewery. I’ve done that one twice with different people. A few friends created our own beer tour one summer. I also want to visit Dead Frog Brewery. This tour is a great idea.

I love Dead Frog too. Glad that they got some help from the Big Decision. My favourite beer from them is their Nut Brown Ale but they are all good.
Obvious choices notwithstanding (and b/c I have high expectations for this set-up), I’ll mention Parallel 49 Brewing.

My latest favorite (aren’t they all favorites) is “R & B Brewing”. They are in East Van just off Main Street, and at the Naam they serve their Raven Cream Ale in a frosty mug. Its dark and chocolaty – order a pint because a glass is just not enough.
Red Truck Ale. It has a good body and flavour, and pairs nicely with all food. But I really want to try the R & B Raspberry.
Stanley Park Brewing is a great little microbrewery that the rest of Canada should really have access to. Or not 🙂
Mhmmm… Granville Island’s Winter Ale all the way. There’s something about that sweet, vanilla flavor that gets me with every sip! Thanks again for this opportunity @Miss604, and also for being a strong supporter of HootSuite 😉
I really enjoy Tree Brewing’s Raspberry Porter
storm brewing!
