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.

5.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6
Flight pour at brewery. Pours cloudy yellow with white nitro head. Aroma has fresh pine and light tropical fruit. Flavour has pine and orange citrus. Mouthfeel is pretty smooth. Profile is a bit muddled on account of the style, but the underlying hop expression seems pretty decent. Hop burn on the finish. Booo.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear blonde with white head. Aroma has very light minerals and fibres. Flavour has straw, minerals. Pretty boring, but I also don't have a great measure for the style.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear amber brown with light beige head. Furniture oak, some dried fruit and bourbon with a hint of vanilla. The oak overpowers here and is inferior quality, unbalanced, but each of the individual flavours are fine. Room for improvement.

473mL can. Pours clear amber with a beige head. Aroma has dried fruit, vanilla, oak, and bourbon. Flavour has charred oak, dried fruit, burnt toffee, bourbon. Quite dry and has a lot of the bourbon barrel; needs a bit of work, but still pretty good.

473mL can, pours a clear dark reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma has a nice toasted/charred oak character upfront, with light vanillin, lots of toasted chestnuts, some caramel, toffee, and bready malt. Flavour is quite dry, with toasted chestnuts, dry caramel, bready malt, plenty of charred oak, plenty of vanilla, and finishing dry and somewhat boozy. The palate is on the thinner side, and there's pretty low residual sweetness for a barley wine. But there's some nice flavours here, and everything is fairly well-integrated. Not bad really.

473 ml can. Pours a mahogany color with moderate tannish head. Aromas of doughy malts, fruity raisins, soft oak and caramel sugars. Flavors of harsh oak, toasted malts and a bit of postage stamp. Acrid and bitter. Unfortunately flavor does follow the nice aromas. Maybe needs to sit awhile, but I think it maybe oak overkill.

Flight pour at brewery. Pours clear yellow with white head. Aroma is floral with sweet esters. Flavour has some esters, partially restrained, floral notes, chewy malts. Shows better restraint than some North American Belgian styles, but still needs a lot of work.
