Description
Well guys, we just make beer. That’s it.
The public space at Brassneck, i.e. the Growler Shop & Tasting Room are designed to have you, our customers feel as though you are part of our process. The brew house & cellar wrap around the tasting room & growler shop putting you in the very heart of the Brewery.
We have a special type of liquor license. A Brewery Lounge. Patrons do not have to be seated as in many other Food Primary locations in Vancouver. This combined with our communal tables makes for a pleasant social environment.
We have a really tiny 10 Hec system, with an even smaller Nano system for batches of around 4 Hecs.
Even though our system is small, we have lots of different fermenters. 14 in total (including a beautiful oak fermenter called a Foudre). This allows us to brew lots of different beers on a constantly rotating basis.
We are ALWAYS experimenting with different beer styles. We are three & a half years old & we’ve already brewed about 120 different beers. From Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts to Corn Lagers, Sour beers to English Milds, Brett Primary Fermented Wheat Ales to Traditional Saisons, the scope of beer styles is endless & we intend to cover them all!
Our beer comes to you direct from the conditioning tanks in our cellar & sells out quickly, so it’s always fresh.
Conrad Gmoser is our Head Brewer & partner, aided by Jeff Leake & Scott Wannop.
We’re always evolving so get ready for more great beers as time goes by & we expand production & have greater capacity for experimentation.

Draft at brewery. Chartreuse color. White cap. Oaky fruit aroma. Flavor is tart cherry and a hint of vanilla. Some oakiness, thigh it is minimal. Light in body and flavor. Some leafy, herbal notes on backend. Very approachable for the style.

Pajiza nebulosa. Espuma muy abundante, jabonosa. Duración correcta. Aroma a levadura, notas lacteas. En boca es ligeramente punzante. Ligera de cuerpo. Sabor a plátano, notas de miel. Algo cansina.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg 2025/11/05 - JJ Bean coffee bean variant). Medium dark brown with dissipating off white head. Soured coffee nose with a hint of wood, taste is quite bland and watery with a mild boozy soured drip coffee note and a hint of wood character. Super disappointing.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a cloudy dull blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a totally jumbled mix of lychee, passionfruit, and coconut, along with lacto. Flavour is more of the same: lots of jagged citrusy passionfruit that is ruined by weird coconut; lacto-y base. This mix of adjuncts doesn’t work at all, at least in this beer. Lame.

473 ml can. Pours a dull amber with little head. Aromas of grape skins, citrus, stoned fruit, a bit of Belgian yeast and soft toasty malts. Flavors follow same with gooseberry tartnesss. Spruce tips coming in Kate after things warm up. Seems more a kettle sour than any type of saison.
