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.

Draught at the brewery
Muddy blond color with creamy head. Light spicy aroma, manure. Smooth, not too dry, with decent spicy profile, light fruitiness, but also quite yeasty, with some final astringency. The bitterness is stronger than in the average Saison.
Good but unrefined.

Draught at the brewery, as The Geezer
Black color with brownish head. Roasted malts and burnt bread, some ashes, same for the aroma an flavor; very dry; with strong bitterness.
With all that burnt character and no chocolate, this is a decent but monodimensional Stout.

473mL growler, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out piney and floral hoppy goodness, with some dry biscuity malt to back. Flavour brings out piney hops, juicy resin, and biscuity malt, with a very slight / subtle sweetness to balance the heavy hops. The sweetness becomes more pronounced with each additional sip, not the point of it being cloying, but there is definitely a bit too much. Still, good stuff.
