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.

473mL growler, pours an opaque filthy orange-tinted dark murky brown with a small off-white head. Nose brings out clove, banana, and light cocoa notes from the extra malt. Flavour is basically the same, bringing out dry bitter cocoa, banana, clove and wheat. Very dry on the palate, with an astringency on the finish. The cocoa and banana work well together, making this medium bodied and fairly creamy. Good stuff.

473mL growler, pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is all roasted espresso beans - very nice on the nose. Flavour brings out delicious coffee notes, some dry bready caramel malts, and just enough very light sweetness to balance the coffee. Fairly light on the palate, but with loads of flavour. Really great stuff.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear copper with a small head. Nose brings out lots of traditional English malts upfront, balanced by just enough English hops. Flavour is very similar, on the malty side, with a very authentic English quality to it - coppery notes, bready English malts, and just enough hops. Easy drinking and delicious.

473mL growler, pours a clear copper / amber with a small beige head. Nose brings out Belgian yeast, light fruitiness, and some floral qualities. Flavour brings out a mix of all the elements that harmonize together very well, leaving a floral, Belgian-esque finish. Solid stuff, but nothing very interesting.
