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.

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

On tap at Brassneck Brewery, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out loads of roasted malt, some chocolate, and some oats - on the sweeter side. Flavour brings out loads of roasted malt, bitter dry chocolate, some oatmeal, and bitter hops. Very roasted, dry and bitter. Finishes on those notes with powdery notes.

On tap at Brassneck Brewery, pours a cloudy opaque dirty yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, some spicy notes, and some Belgian yeast. Flavour is very spicy, with loads of Belgian ale spices and dry piney hops. Quite a harsh astringency on the finish, with lots of lingering spiciness. Very good stuff.
