Vancouverites take beer seriously, and it's evident through the city's wide selection of craft breweries, cranking out unique, in-house creations that are bound to appeal to a variety of tastes.

• Postmark

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Vancouver's newest craft brewery, Postmark offers growler fills (of course) as well as great food. It helps that they're located in the same building at Urban Winery and Belgard Kitchen.

• Bomber Brewing

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Started by three friends with dreams of beer, Bomber is conveniently located on one of Vancouver's busiest bike paths. They focus on staying true to their roots and serving up fine beers.

• Main Street Brewing

  With a love for handcrafted beer, Main Street Brewing focuses on one 'main' thing: beer! Check out their retail store and tasting lounge.

• Brassneck Brewery

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  With simplicity at the forefront, Brassneck serves up beer to the Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood. But this doesn't mean their beer is boring—they're always experimenting.

• R&B Brewing

  Lover of stout and pale ale? Then R&B's award winning Dark Oatmeal Stout and Red Devil & English Style Pale Ales should definitely make your list of must try brews.

• Granville Island Brewing

• Coal Harbour Brewing Co.

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  These brewers certainly take their work seriously. Though new (ish) to the scene, they've already made waves on the competition circuit. They don't offer tastings but look for their beers around town.

• 33 Acres Brewing Co.

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Come to 33 Acres for their artfully crafted beers, and take your taste buds on a journey. With various brews to try, you'll never be short of options (including brunch!)

• Yaletown Brewing Co.

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Located in the heart of Yaletown, this is one brewery that will put as much emphasis on the food as they do on the beer. If you're looking for a laid-back atmosphere, then this is definitely it.

• Powell Street Craft Brewery

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Though under construction, Powell Street Craft Brewery is proof that a small, but well executed selection will win out against a large one. They'll be opening up their new space this fall.

• Central City Brewers & Distillers

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Although Central City's Surrey location may make it an out of the way destination for Vancouverites, it's well worth the trip, especially when you factor in the gourmet food and beer menu.

• Parallel 49 Brewing Co.

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  If you're looking for value for your money, then look no further than Parallel 49. Where else can you get a paddle of 4 beer samplers for $4 and a glass for $3?

• Steamworks Brewing Co.

  By Vancouver Is Awesome

  Right next to Waterfront Station lies Steamworks Brewing Company, which is probably one of the best known places of its kind in the city, with food and drinks that speak for themselves.
