About
Beer with all the qualities of August: full sun, long days and filled with possibility. Before Brewing August had a name, we knew we wanted to build a craft beer brand around the feeling of community. Good people, good places and good times inspired our sun-drenched name, our picnic table logo and our beautiful packaging. We brew beer with all the qualities of August: full sun, long days, and filled with possibility. Our beer contains only the best ingredients needed for a great taste and a better feeling. That’s why we believe Brewing August is one of the best good-vibes beer pouring in Vancouver.

On tap at Brewing August, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out gently dank hops, pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is bright and crisp, with a decent piney hop character, gentle dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Crisp and nicely hopped for a pale ale. Solid.

Pale and just a slight haze. Nice bready malt and a herbaceous hop character that doesn't present as citra (thankfully). It's not bad.

Slight haze. Darkish golden colour. Bubbly head. Bright fruity hop aroma, fairly bitter, a nice grapefruit bitterness. Clean pale malt base lets the hops shine.

Slight haze, pale, kind of mushroomy type nose. Again a decent malt base, some lemony type notes, finishing more in cannabis country but muted. Seems like it's well made but not really my pocket of hop expression.

Poured from 355mL can (pkg Aug 2021). Cloudy orangey pink with small white head. Raspberry, mild dry hopping, touch of lacto. A bit subdued, but better than expected.

Slight haze, pale colour. On the nose, not too bad, with a bit of fruitiness. Light, pale, limited bitterness. Vague fruitiness but something isn't hitting.

473mL can, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose brings out earthy and piney hops, and some old cardboardy notes (despite this being fresh). Flavour has a strange hop character, with herbal hops, some cardboard, and bready malt. That's not a pleasant hop expression. Weak and amateur. Not good.

Can from High Point, Vancouver
Hazy blond colour. Very light peach aroma. Weak body, mild flavour, quite watery for an IPA of any kind, timid fruity hop, and almost no bitterness. Refreshing, but too shy.
