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 clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light grass, some herbal notes and biscuity malt. Flavour is clean, with light grassy hops and crisp biscuity malt. Clean and gently bitter, but not exactly crisp. Decent enough, but there's not much here to appreciate.

Weak dark copper body and no foam. Aroma is weak wood and maybe brandy, but comes across like my great uncle's bathroom deodorizer. Taste is weak caramel, possible wood, and ends way too watery. Nothing going on here, very tepid.

Weak darker clear brown body and no foam. Aroma is soft caramel and bitter molasses. Taste is okay molasses, soft biscuit, ends full with good carbonation. An adequate doppel but rather boring.

Nice solid creamy foam on a dark brown body. Smells of not bad coffee, smooth chocolate syrup. Taste is okay biscuit and coffee, ends smooth but there's lingering dog hair - amazing. How do you do that in a porter? Vaguely drinkable, but only sorta.

Swampy dark brown body and no foam. Smells of not a bad tart plum, though a little wet. Taste is okay tart plum, sweet fruitiness, thin with okay carbonation. Boring and pretty middling.

473ml can. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, long lasting, tan head that leaves curtains of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, licorice, earth and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, licorice, dark chocolate, date and coffee in a dry, mild bitter, warming booze finish. Full body with a creamy, smooth, soft, oily texture and soft carbonation. Tasty and enjoyable. Would love to try an aged version.

Sweet fruity flavour of dark malt, black currant, plum, cherry and prune in a dry, sour finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Pretty solid.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Beautiful red amber colour with red lights; generous beige head, compact. The arom ais too light, just some caramel. Moderately sweet, with quite good body strength, caramel flavour, there is enough depth, it's balanced, and clean (7.5).
Pretty good.

Light clear gold body and okay foam. Soft weedy hops on the nose, vague sweetness, minimal funk. Taste is okay sweet hops, slight candy, ending refreshing but a little wet. Not bad but a little underwhelming, if that's a word.

Clear light gold body and okay chewy foam. Very vague sweet pilsnery hops aroma, all too soft. Taste is good sweet pilsner hops, soft grain, smooth with some nice crispness. Flawed but still very drinkable.
