Since we're from Van we don't get to go here as often as we'd like but wow what a knockout brewery! The interior has gotten even better since the first time we went! The ferns from the hanging baskets above are beautiful, the plants throughout the space give it such an earthy BC forest vibe it's gorgeous. The patio too! What a great spot to post up and enjoy a delicious lunch and some beers. This time I got a non alcoholic Cesar to drink and I loved the garnish of jerky, bean and pickle. My husband got a beer which he loved. For eats we ordered the chowder of course with the side bannock (a must) and the shrimp and lobster lettuce wrap and the broccolini - everything was delish. Service was excellent as always and we will of course be back in a few years I hope if not sooner!

We were pleasantly surprised by a small, but nice brewpub with board games to boot. They didn't have any tables for four because of reservations, but we were able to sit at the bar and set our kids up with a game of Battleship while we had some beer and food. The beer wasn't world class, but also didn't disappoint. The unicycle sour IPA, was my standout, but the porter and monster mash IPA were also good. The rest were fine, but not amazing. The food was (if anything) better than the beer. The plain cheese pizza my son got was good and had nicely browned cheese all over. The sauce was a bit on the sweet side, but not unpleasantly so. I'd probably lean more into pizza next time even if it's a bit too carb heavy. The spuds (potato wedges) were only OK. I got the Thai chicken salad, which was spicy with great greens and good chicken. Nice and fresh. My wife seemed to be less enamored of her bahn mi burger, but still said it was good. The service was attentive and happy to accommodate us and our kids. Would definitely come again.

We managed to snag a bar table outside in the sunshine and got down to business. It is so rare to see a pickle dip on a menu and being a pickle obsessed connoisseur (yes I've been to pickle fest) I had to order it as an appy. My husband and I devoured it in about 5 mins. Great choice to pair with a salty ripple chip! For our mains, I got the oven baked chicken wings which I give full props on the crunch factor for an oven baked wing. My only qualm was the hot sauce was more like a sweet salsa. Totally fine if that's your vibe but I would maybe rebrand it as abit like a sweet salsa over a hot sauce. When I think wings and hot sauce, I'm thinking something more like a Franks. I also was thrilled when our server asked if I wanted it on the side as the wings stay even crispier if you put the sauce on after and I was so happy she shared this as it was a great reco. My husband ordered the corn nachos and holy moly these were delicious. Amazing amount of toppings and great melted cheese ratio to chip. Slam dunk on these! I would go back simply for these! On the beer side we both loved the Foeder Vienna Lager - so delish. And I loved that they carry Nonnys as I love a good non alc option!

Dave Paul (the Owner) is easy to spot as he is quite tall. But even if he wasn't tall, you'd meet him eventually. He's a guy with a career in hospitality and he intuitively works a room with a laid-back fun-loving style and easy laugh. He started with kit home brew years ago, but really began making awesome beer when he went all-grain. The beers are delicious. The merch is high quality (we bought 2 tshirts, we loved it that much). Make sure they're open before you make the trip. But if you do go, don't let the exterior fool you. Dive into the rabbit hole head first. There's a jovial party inside that you don't want to miss.

The beer we tried were great, the food was quite well done - highly recommend soup and bahn mi, the pretzel was nice but the cheese sauce could use some improvements / might be better off with mustard / the salad was average but fresh. Lots of locals, great staff - order & pay at counter and they'll bring it to you. Warning; Some of the skinny picnic benches may not be suitable for young, old or overindulged folks. Would definitely stop again.
