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.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear pale yellow with a big head. Nose is clean, with lots of straw, dry biscuity malt, low level grassiness. Flavour is likewise very clean, with straw, biscuity malt and a hint of grassy bitterness. Clean and very drinkable. Good for the style.

Slight haze. Thin head. Sharp phenols, botanicals, sweet malt. This one is cutting eoth that acidity. A bit all over the place.

473mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is very restrained, with subtle earthy hops and bready malt. Flavour is clean and crisp, with lightly spicy hops, a hint of pine, and a gently bitter, crisp finish. Nothing particularly interesting, but competently made.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; 10 Apr 2024, 1 month old
Blond colour, chill haze, medium sized head. Intense aroma of fruits, tropical mainly. Dry mouthfeel; the malt base is convincing, plenty of crusty bread, with a touch of toast; balanced bitterness, giving more hop oils and pine than fruit; some bitter citrus peel.
Very good.

Changeling - Raspberry from Brassneck Brewery

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8.5
Flight at brewery. Pours ruby red. Aroma is freshly mashed raspberries, pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing. Flavour is a bit more balanced. Tart initially, followed by moderate raspberries, a bit of funk. Fruity and dry. Really well constructed beer.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some tangy hops, a little pine, and what seems like traces of bitter but I may be hallucinating. Flavour is bright, with tangy hops, light pine, and some gentle citrus bitterness. Nice NZ hop expression. Not the brightest or best structured, but reasonably done. Better than the original version.
