About
At Luppolo our beer is equally as important as the atmosphere we create in our lounge. Enjoy our selection of craft beers and delicious food in a warm and welcoming environment, your home away from home located in the “Yeast Van” Brewery District in Vancouver, BC.
Luppolo (pronounced loop-o-lo) means hops in Italian. We chose an Italian name due to the Italian heritage of two of our owners and because the values associated with Italian culture–quality, craftsmanship, community and family–are central to our vision.

Amber, hazy. Weizen yeast evident in the phenolic, floral aroma. On the palate, the yeast is again the main character. It’s good - the first batch was full of bubblegum but clearly they have a better handle on the yeast now.

Medium brown. Nutty, light caramel. Pretty good - light, toasty, just a touch of sweetness.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a deep dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma brings out lots of earthy notes from the rye, with toasted malt, dry cocoa and some farmhouse yeast. Flavour is rather tart upfront, with lots of earthy farmhouse yeast and tart dried fruits. Unusual for the style, with much more depth than typical roggenbiers. Very nice.

Draught at the brewery
Brown color, creamy beige head. Sour aroma, stale dirty water smell. Undercarbonated mouthfeel, soft; earthy character from the rye, banana from the yeast probably, which in my opinion clashes; moderate sweetness; light sweet liquorice in the final.
Not very good. Fairly brewed, but it’s just a bad idea.

Draught at the brewery; 12oz
Hazy to cloudy, orange-blond color with small head. The aroma is intensely fruity, tropical, a bit citrusy, mandarin. The mouthfeel is lean and the residual sweetness very limited, but there could be a more crackery flavor from the malt; high level of bitterness, pinch of piney resins, then citrus peel, hints of jam and tropical.
Less juicy fruitiness than Superflux and Boombox, but cleaner and drier mouthfeel. Highly drinkable.
Excellent!
