Nano Brewery Crawl March 22nd 2014

Me and some mates decided to visit some of the micro\nano breweries popping up all over Vancouver and sample some of the tastiest brews in town.  I've always been a"nothing snooty" kind of beer drinker, often choosing a basic lager when quenching my beerly thirst.  But after being introduced to the many fine hand crafted local suds in our great city, the beer bar has been raised and I crave something more exotic and fulfilling than the mass market lagers.

The plan was to visit five breweries in five hours.  Keep in mind that all these nano breweries are indeed small and seating is limited.  The first stop was Powell Street Craft Brewery, and the place is about as big as my walk in closet.  Although the beer is fantastic.

 

2nd stop Parallel 49 Brewing Co. This place had seating, but was much busier. Ended up ordering a paddle of beer for $4.00 and seized a small table, cramping the style of the one guy currently sitting there.

3rd stop Bomber Brewing. This was actually the last stop of the night. They only allow 25 people inside, and we made it. A line up started to form outside soon after. After figuring out that leaving for the next brewery most likely meant all of us standing in line in desperate need of a WC, we decided to stay here a little longer. I remember all the craft beers being good and I was tempted to buy their crowler, basically a huge jug of beer with straps so that it can easily attach to the back of a bike.

Crisp and refreshing.  Oh indeed.

 We didn't make it to Brasneck or 33 Acres due to the inevitable line ups that awaited, so we headed off to Fire Pizza on Commercial and 3rd area.
