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.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma of loads of English hops on the nose and some soft bready malt. Flavour brings out the same, really showcasing the wakatu hops. Very refreshing and flavourful, especially for the style. Great stuff for a usually boring style.

Draft - Light malts and earthy hops. Clear reddish gold with a thin white head. Malty and bitter with no real flavors of either malts or hops to enjoy. This one was a miss for me.

Draft - Aroma of bitterness and malts. Clear amber with a thin white head. Very bitter up front with a burnt sugar flavor with some grains. Finish is also very bitter. Too unbalanced with the bitterness overwhelming any malts.

Draft - Sweet Belgian yeast. Clear amber with a thin head. Malty caramel with Belgian yeasts. I like this but I don't get any of the hop profile I was hoping for. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
