Description
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 golden with a small white head. Nose has some unfermented wort character, light tangy hops, and some earthiness. Flavour is very restrained, with light tangy hops and crisp biscuity malt. Not as bright or white wine-y as I hoped but clean enough. A bit minerally on the finish. Meh.

473 ml can. Pours dull hazy amber with moderate head. Aromas of earthy passionfruit, mashed pineapple, a bit of sulphur and a bit of wheaty malts. Flavors of dry earthy passionfruit and some bitter pineapple. Quite heavy for the ABV and style. Must be lots of passionfruit.

Cask at brewery. Pours light murky brown. Aroma has sticky sweet malts, maybe some light smoke. Flavour has caramel and bready malts, a touch of bourbon. A bit flat overall, but drinkable.

473mL can. Pours clear golden with white head. Aroma has banana, esters, some pale malts. Flavour leans heavily into the Belgian yeast; pale malts and chemicals. Very little carbonation, a bit slippery on the palate. Too sweet with very little to balance the yeast flavours.

Can from The Gull, North VancouverCloudy blond colour, pale. Fresh aroma, tropical fruits. The body is quite light, within the style, and dry, which means the starch is creeping up, and the generous hopping doesn't have the sugars it would require to shine; bitter orange juice; moderate hopburn in the finish.
This is really only for Hazies lovers, but not bad overall.
