About
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.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours somewhat clear brown with white head. Aroma has bourbon barrels, coffee, and malts. Flavour has tons of bourbon barrels and coffee beans, solid malty base. Not particularly sweet, just a good combination of bourbon, coffee, and malts. Fantastic.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma has a gentle malty quality, but is generally understated. Flavour has tons of woody pine and a solid malt base. Body is a bit thicker than I expected from a pale ale. Nothing too exciting, but still decent.

5oz pour at brewery. Pours clear blonde with white head. Aroma is pretty meek, gentle earthy/leafy quality. Flavour is tart, a bit of citrus, woody, low acidity, reasonably high carbonation. Pretty solid stuff, the quince contributes without overpowering.

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
473mL can, pours a clear deep dark brown with a red tinge and a tiny head. Aroma is dominated by the coffee upfront, with a touch of the oak coming out, and a lightly sweet caramel malt base. Flavour has a big bourbon barrel character upfront that combines well with the coffee. Not too sweet or boozy; the coffee and bourbon are integrated real well. Complex and warming. Excellent.
