About
We have been best friends of over 30 years, and Container has been our dream for many years. We have been literally building this thing with our barehands, shedding blood, tears and sweat while sharing laughs on the daily. There's never a dull moment here at Container.
The dream is now a reality that is taking shape. We look forward to sharing the results of our hard work with you!
As outdoor enthusiasts we like to get out and experience the world; this is the thinking behind Container Brewing. We want to give people the ability to enjoy good beer anywhere by providing you with only cans of our best products.
We’re building a lounge where you can sit and drink your beer, have a bite to eat, while enjoying good conversation. Our unique space will have you thinking about where to sit before you even arrive.
Our Head Brewer, Tim Juul, comes to Vancouver with a different perspective. His brewing techniques, and recipe styles, come from his experience in the New England area. We love what he's done for us so far and we know you will too.

On tap at Container, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out soft cocoa, a hint of coffee, and bready malt. Flavour has a nice body for a low ABV lager, with coffee, cocoa and a touch of sugars. Not all that interesting but competently made.

Draft pour enjoyed at Container, Vancouver. Cloudy golden pour, with a full coat of cream lacing. Tart front, massive wheat finish. Pretty off balanced, and hops don't really come through as expected. Lemon like sourness throughout. Intense wheat long lasting palate.

On tap at Container, pours a hazy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is milky as hell, with tons of lacto and subdued floral hops. Flavour is like soft cream of wheat with tons of yogurt — barley any hops. Lame yogurty kettle sour.

Draft pour enjoyed at Container, Vancouver. Clean copper appearance, again, odd for the brown ale style, but it can be a masterbof disguise if it wants. Smooth taste with lots of vanilla notes and a dry oak finish. Smooth body. Nice.

Draft pour enjoyed at Container. Light appearance as far as brown standards go. Sticky lacing. Nutty grain bill. Some toasty notes. Metallic late lingernon the palate. Cool finish as well. Verybunique but enjoyable brown.

On cask at Container, pours a clear amber with a tiny white head. Aroma brings out bready malt and a touch of the oak. Flavour is rather metallic, bringing out oak, bready malt and a hint of vanilla. More metallic than the base beer, probably due to the casking. The oak has some nice vanillins but the cask treatment doesn't help it. Okay.

On tap at Container, pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma brings out bready malt, toasted nuts, and a touch of toffee. Flavour is smooth, with bready malt, toasted caramel, and even a bit of hops. Medium-bodied, more aggressive than your standard brown. Solid.

Poured from the tap. Clear amber with small off white head. Caramel malt, candi sugar, very subtle Belgian spices, lacks depth, but it’s decent, surprisingly okay from Container.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Pale yellow colour, murky. Mild fruity aroma, some wet paper, sweat. Dry mouthfeel, no malt or oats flavour, almost; low bitterness, apart from some pith, and little hop quality; there is some faint acidity, it's almost like a so-called 'sour IPA' (whatever that means). Useless Hazy.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg Oct 4, 2022). Dull gold with dissipating white head. Dank earthy hops, a touch creamy and oily, mild pine. A little rough, but okay.
