  •  3.3 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - English | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    18 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    The English know a thing or two about pale ale. West Coasters know a thing or two about having a good time. Naturally, we kept these facts in mind when we perfected the recipe for English Bay Pale Ale. Tradition is served in the smooth, mild flavour and caramel malt aroma, and that distinctive West Coast character comes through thanks to natural carbonation and careful maturing. The result? A real pale ale with will rise to any occasion.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, August 21, 2010

    Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. |

    IPA - American | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    55 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Granville Island wasn't always pretty parks and public markets. This place has a tough, gritty past: firetrap factories, shadowy characters, dark dockside tales. A bitter start, and a bright finish - sound familiar? Our well-hopped IPA is a homage to this patchy history, with plenty of Pacific Northwest personality. Get UNDER THE BRIDGE.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, December 18, 2014 
  •  3.3 on Untappd.
    Lager - Pale | 
    4.7% Alcohol/Vol. |

    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, August 21, 2010 
  •  3.4 on Untappd.
    Cream Ale | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    15 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    This malty, smooth maple cream ale has a hint of maple syrup, with a mild hop bitterness. It’s a tribute to both Quebec’s legendary sugar shacks, and the tin roofs that littered this island back in the day. Big saps welcome. Get Under the Bridge. Tastes of caramel malt with light hop bitterness, balances the malt flavours with hints of maple without being sweet. Caramel malt flavours go well with all kinds of roasted meat flavours. This beer's perfect pairings are roast beef or BBQ ribs.

    Very nice, small brewery. There were three of us there and we each drank 2 different beers. All the beers were quite tasty and tasted good. The brewery itself is also very nice and modern and the service is excellent.

    This was a nice brewery. They had a pretty good selection of different types of beers. Great place to have a nice beer and rest your feet before going back in the markets.

    We were in from Winnipeg for Grey Cup and decided to come to the brewery the day after the game. We carry some of the Granville lineup at our restaurant back home. The server was great - knowledgable and friendly. Tried both the Guava and Black Mass - amazing (Black Mass has my vote to be carried in Manitoba). And the burger was the best one I've had in quite a while. Will definitely be back on my next trip to BC!

    Great food and great beer! My first time in Vancouver I went to a few different places but this one was my favorite. Will definitely be coming back here whenever I'm in the city.

    I came for a beer and I got a really good one. Went classic with their Island Lager. We just had a drink, no food. There's a small terrace outside where you can eat in the sun. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Place is clean
