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.

Retrofuturism from Brassneck Brewery
2 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Seems this one is not out of production, and the can doesn’t spec a specific hop. Anyway… 473 ml can. Pours a bright amber with moderate head. Aromas of tropical fruit, candied citrus, a bit of pine, and bready malts. Flavors of pine, dull melons, bitter citrus, a bit of pineapple, and dry toasty malts. Very bitter finish. Nice on the nose, but doesn’t really deliver.

Imposter Syndrome from Brassneck Brewery

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
473mL can, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Nose has some bugs, rustic saison yeast, and toasted grains — low-level spruce tips. Flavour has a nice complex wild yeast character, some rustic notes, and a touch of woody fruitiness from the spruce. Very well-constructed and quite tasty.
