Granville Island Brewing

Stopped by Granville Island Brewing while on the Granville Island tourist trail and enjoyed some great beers. They have a variety of beers on tap year-round as well as some seasonal flavours, a good option is to try one of the flights. I got the flight of four and tried the Kitsilano Juicy IPA, the English Bay Ale, the Island Lager and the limited edition Aces-Hi Japanese style lager. All were very nice and came with tasting notes.

Service from Chelsea and the team was great, all the staff were happy to go through the beer menu and offer suggestions.

Would recommend for an enjoyable afternoon of beer tasting!

Really cool brewery right by the Public Market. Walked over after dinner to grab a can of mango hibiscus sour to go. The combination of fruit and flower sounded awesome, but the actual sour left a bit more to be desired in terms of flavor. Definitely worth a visit, and if I do return, I might stay and get something on tap instead. 🥭

The chicken burger was one of the best I have ever had. The core range of beers were also very enjoyable.

Many beer and non-alcoholic options with decent grub. Love their patio area for a beer on nice sunny day and people watching. Dogs allowed on patio

Went on a Monday evening, not busy, visiting from Alberta. Very nice display of the retail shop side as that is the only side I went to. Asked for a recommendation on a more of a fruity beer. Aaron was extremely helpful and gave his recommendation. Very friendly guy, had a nice chat with him. I do agree with his recommendation of the Flamingo Mango Hibiscus Sour Beer. Excellent service from Aaron and great place to visit!!

At Granville Island Brewery, I picked up four small glasses of their fantastic brews. The Juicy IPA is a hop lover's dream. Bursting with tropical fruit flavors and a citrusy punch, it's a refreshing and bold choice. The English Bay Ale offers a smooth and balanced experience with its caramel maltiness and subtle hop bitterness. It's a classic that never disappoints.

The Island Lager is a crisp and clean option, perfect for those seeking a light and refreshing beer. Its subtle malt sweetness and delicate hop presence make it a crowd-pleaser. For a unique twist, the Honey Lager adds a touch of sweetness with hints of honey, creating a smooth and mellow drinking experience.

To complement the beers, I also ordered a side of sea salt French fries. The fries were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of seasoning. They were a perfect accompaniment, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the brewery experience.

Decent food and beer. Large crowds are usually outside but the line seems to more fast. Inside you’ll find friendly staff and quick service. There’s a place to purchase beer and other items on site. The beer was decent, but nothing I would take back home. I still recommended going to Granville Island Brewer It’s a nice experience while in Vancouver.
