Brassneck Brewery

Great staff, great brews and an awesome venue. I go all the time and I’ve never been let down.

If you want a really great Craft Beer experience then I highly recommend Brassneck. One smallish brewery that has many more than one awesome beer on it’s board. Main St: home of the Hipster. (Lots drink at Brassneck) has tons of great places to eat, drink, thrift, vintage, gifts, antiques. Brassneck is one of my faves. Hipsters are awesome too!

Brass neck ale was amazing!
The aesthetics, service, and offerings all made this a pleasant experience. Thoroughly enjoyed my time at Brassneck!

Went at about 12:30 on a Saturday and it was pretty packed.
Ordered a flight of beer. All the beers we tried were great!
Staff was friendly and the décor in the brewery is really hip and fun.

Visited this place while on holiday in Vancouver and I wish there was one here in California. Great atmosphere lots of seating up the st from McDonalds and great beer. Would recommend. Had the hibiscus saison loved it!

Great beer and service. Their rotating selection is varied and changes often.
Good food trucks and other options nearby.
P. S. The beer is way better than Big Crock Urban!

What I would do for some good craft beers! Dragging my luggage all the way uphill from Pacific Central Station was not easy. But for the beers at Brassneck Brewery, it is worth the hike!
Flight of 4 x 6oz for $ 8 or $ 2.50 each with 11 beers on taps
Ambiguation (Tart Belgian Wheat)
Sticks & Stones (Rye Saison)
The Geezer (Dry English Porter)
Magic Beans (Coffee Beer)
All the beers we sampled has great character and true to style. Some of the best ones I sampled during my Weekend in Vancouver.
Since we were here during a weekday afternoon, the place were not too busy and the atmosphere really relaxing.
After some drinking, I happily roll down the hill. Life is good!

Brassneck is great. There are very few negative things I have to say about this place. Yes, it is a small seating area, but this is all part of the charm and should come to be expected when visiting here on any day of the week.
The beer I had last night was one I hadn’t tried before: «Gooseberry Changeling» It had a wonderfully-​crafted fruity-​sour taste and a lovely light reddish hue. The others were repeats from my past experiences: People Person, Passive Aggressive and another corn-​derived beer that was surprisingly delicious.
Service is on point here. Another patron crashed from his stool (broken) and two staff were on him immediately to check that he was ok right before offering him a replacement stool. Everyone was greeted with a smile — in fact I had a laugh at how automatic the charming smiles had become for the bar staff.
I purchased a couple of growlers on the way out and was chatted up by the two front-​of-​house staff in a comfortable way.
Will definitely return, this place merits a stop on your brewery tour.

Great beer selection and friendly attentive staff. Love the Passive Aggressive. Brassneck is very popular so be prepared to wait. Growler fill area. Limited food options and nice to have a food truck out front. While I like the beers, I find the tasting room a little dark in need of natural light.

The beer is decent but the seating capacity is limited to say the least. The beer tasters were a decent price and there Brassneck was decent as well.
For me, I would’ve liked if they had some sort of half decent food or a small kitchen. They have a few sandwiches that they warm up in a microwave and some jerky. ideally, it would be great even just to have some half decent snacks.
If you have a Growler and want to getit refilled before the party, this is the place to be! Although, if you are looking to have a meet a few friends and have a bite to eat, I would pass on this place.

Leave it up to Canada to have a taproom where there’s hosted seating. Normally you go to a brewery and hang out wherever you can. Not at Brassneck. There’s an actual process and you have to put your name down and be called to find somewhere to sit. I kinda liked this but I can see how it would be annoying to someone that just came for a pint and has to wait for a while. Here, you literally have to get in where you fit in and that just might mean standing near the toilets.
But enough of that because you probably want to know about the beer since it’s a brewery and all. Well, it wasn’t the best beer I’ve had but there were some notables. The Sticks & Stones was good. I’ve never had a Rye Saison before but I definitely liked this. The Changeling started off being really good but the overly sweet flavor started to wear on me. It was almost muscat sweet.
I didn’t eat anything there but we sat next to the cheese-​bagel looking things and they smelled delicious. Yes, they had some vegetarian options as well.
I think this is a cool place and you should add it to your list of local breweries to check out.

I don’t like the seating or the room but I love the beer.
These guy consistently have 1 – 2 dark beers on tap– very flavourful, full of depth.
I would just go for the growler fills.
The room is kind of awkward and not the nicest place to drink.

Brassneck has got some of the best beer in the city! They have a nice variety and a rotating keg. The seasonal corn ale is definately my favourite. It’s light and has a sweet after taste. Check it out before they run out!

Brassneck Brewery was our second stop at a brewery before hitting the Whitecaps match. Brassneck divides its growler fill up area from the tasting room. Definitely a good idea. Got a tasting flight and loved three out of four tasters. The corn lager really stood out for me but hubby did not like it. The only beer I didn’t like much was the Wingman and of course that was the one hubby liked best.

Brassneck has a nice vibe. The tasting room is always lively and welcoming, the staff are friends, and its one of those rare breweries where the beer is very inspired. Some of the t-​shirts are also of particularly noteworthy quality. The 1 litre swing top growlers are wonderful as well.
If you’re touring breweries in the Vancouver era Brassneck is one of the ones that really can’t be missed.

Because their growlers are bling blang with gold!
First visit we couldn’t get it. Props to the ‘bouncer’ for being super honest by saying wait is likely too long and to check out other places.
As these guys only supply their tasting room, they continually have experimental beers joining the rank. Personal favourites are Passive Aggressive and Brassneck Ale.
Tasting room is one of the nicest in town though I’ve only been able to get in once. Usually I only stop by to get growler fills.
Staff is great and food trucks are usually out front.
Come early or don’t try. Hipsters park their butts long term.

I absolutely adore Brassneck. The space and décor scream hip and industrial, the music and animated patrons bring the energy, and the fact that it’s a craft brewery gives the atmosphere a blanket of chill vibes. As is the case with many the newer craft breweries in Vancouver, you’ll probably hate Brassneck if you avoid yuppies and/​or hipsters like the plague. But really, don’t let your prejudices get in the way of great beer.
There’s always a long line of people waiting to get their growlers filled, and another mass of waiting hopefuls who want to imbibe at the brewery. Having always come here in a small group, I’ve never had to wait more than 10 – 15 minutes. Do be prepared to share a table, though – all the seating is communal, and it is pretty much impossible to get a table to yourselves with the constant throng Brassneck attracts.
And finally, for the main attraction: the brews. Man, they’re good. The stout is delicious, the farmhouse ale/​saison is perfect if you want a more interesting light beer than the standards, and the dry-​hopped pale ale is quite the standout. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t get a flight (or two). Mmm.

This is my go-​to-​spot for growler fills nowadays.
They always have an awesome selection of 6+ beers to choose from.
1L growler fills start from $ 6 and 2L growlers are typically start from $ 10.50.
I advise you to check what’s being offered in the tasting room and for growler fills prior to arrival.
They have a short blurb on each beer on their website.
Metered street parking is offered on Main and on any of the side streets.
If you’re down for more beer, Mainstreet brewery is just around the corner and 33 acres is located couple blocks away.

I adore Brassneck, oh how I adore it! Their beer has had me waxing poetic to anyone who’ll listen since I first set foot inside. I’ve never had a beer that was even just «good» here — everything has been mind-​bogglingly, lip-​smackingly delicious!
In the summer their Changeling didn’t just rock my socks, it straight up destroyed them! Whether it was viognier, sour cherry, or raspberry, each time it was like drinking angel nectar — unique, flavourful, transcendent!
The Passive Agressive is an instant classic — hoppy, smooth, rich, and altogether too drinkable! It’s my go-​to when I’m overwhelmed with choice!
The space is rustic, cosy, and homey, and I always feel like I’m stepping into a badass log cabin when I visit. Yes, it’s hipster heaven, but if this is what hipster heaven is like, I’m converting to hipsterdom immediately, if not sooner! The staff are always, always busy, but I’ve also found them to be friendly and polite in their speediness — no mean feat!
The growler fill area is a little calmer than the tasting room, and most times I’ve been in I’ve had a nice chat with the growler-​filler, and sampled a couple of beers before making my decision. Occasionally there’s been a significant line up, but everyone is relaxed and chirpy, excited to fill their growlers, and the line moves quickly and cheerfully along.
The tasting room is definitely a bit more chaotic — it’s always jam packed, and the clustered line up around the register can get a bit crazy, especially as it’s also right by the entrance, so you’re wending your way between folks coming in and out. The tables can get fairly communal, so be prepared to cosy up to some new friends!
Come in with a relaxed attitude, and you won’t be disappointed! The beer is out of this world good, the snacks are to die for (jerky and pepperoni? Yesss!), the service is great, and the atmosphere is fun and casual. What’s not to love?

What do you do after a long walk at Stanley Park? You enjoy a great beer! We found this place on Unilocal and noticed the 4 stars. Yep we had to come here. We came here ago and I believe it was three days after they open. I had never been to one of the breweries. When we got there, you could see people waiting to get in! There were people waiting from outside as well. While we were in line, we could see people bringing in their bottles to refill their beer. There were people bringing in their kids. I thought it was cool to see that especially at a brewery. We finally made it inside and seated. We had to share a table with other people because it was just the two of us. I thought it was cool to drink with other people.
Their drinks were great. They have beer flights with interesting names. One was Passive Aggressive and I thought that was pretty tasty. They do not serve food but there is a Filipino food truck outside. I didn’t order any food although I tried their sausage links. It was ok but kind of expensive.
Overall it was a great experience. It is small inside and worth the wait. Staff was very nice and friendly. Mostly guys working. Bathroom was clean. I don’t think there’s a parking lot so just look for meters. Btw, no coat check.
