Was working across the street and usually the wife makes me lunch. She was I'll last night and didn't have the energy but what a blessing for me! I walked literally 15 feet across the street to sit and enjoy a masterclass burger and caeaser salad combo for 20$. The caeaser was my side option instead of fries this time and it's pretty solid but this smash burger is next level. Perfect cook of the patty, crispy lettuce and tomato, spicy yet subtle chipotle mayo, bitnkf bacon to suit. The guru is please with this one. Such an unassuming place but food is absolutely fire. They just set up their summer patio and I can only assume beers are as good if not better than food. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND. smash burger for the win!!! read more

Good chill spot for happy hour after work with ample interior & patio seating. The happy hour food menu has gone a bit downhill in my opinion. Great selection of beers to choose from for the drinker, but their ginger beer is my all time favourite. read more

Parallel 49 Brewing - hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

we have been planning to visit for a while now and finally went on father's day. Lots of drat beer selection and they have happy hour food as well. we sat in their patio which was a perfect place for a nice weather. Lots of families came with their pets and kids to enjoy the afternoon. we got the chicken burger, pretzel and wings. Pretzel was awesome, right texture and came warm. salt and pepper wings were a bit to the dry side which is the way i prefer. However the chicken in the spicy burger was abit too dry. read more

It's been a few years since my last visit to Parallell 49 Brewing. They've been around for more than a decade. There's an-in-house food truck, Street Kitchen, along with a massive outdoor sitting area. We dropped in on an early Friday afternoon (around 1:45pm). Order at the bar. 28 beers on tap along with a couple muddlers, seltzers, soda pops, Oddity Kombucha and a radler. There's a small happy hour menu from 2:00pm to 5:00pm (daily) and 10:00pm to close (Sunday to Thursday). Food menu is a small one pager. - Flight (~$12.00) - old boy (brown ale), mango jelly monster (sour ale), bodhisattva (hopped sour) and cosmic soup (juicy IPA). Favourite was the sour ale, although light on the fruit flavour. The hopped sour wasn't too hoppy and grapefruit came through. The juicy IPA was very light. Brown ale had a strange finish. - Czech dark lager ($7.75) - R went with a Czech pilsner. Not much going on taste wise. P49 is popular but the beers are run of the mill. read more

They have a stout in bcl (canned nitrogen) that is close to (and, in some ways, better than) Guinness! So many stouts are nothing but sweet, caramelized, dark lagers. This is a fantastic beer that is IMO worthy of the name (finally!) read more

Came to this neighborhood brewery for an afternoon stop and was surprised to find some very good food options. The poutine came with green onions on top, which was a nice and delectable touch. We also tried the Eggplant Bao, which was excellent. We had two beers which were okay but not something I would re-order, but our third choice, the Salt Caramel Scot -- was a great choice. Nice flavor and distinctive. That beer alone would be worth returning for!~ read more

Been here twice since moving here - will definitely come again Love that they always have A LOT of selections. Wish they had more sours for the sour fans, but their IPAs are awesome too. One that stuck out for me was Casino Royale - pretty unique with a spicy kick to it read more

you have some problems with your packaging system. I buy my beer by the 24 flat, twice I have had leaking cans of lager and, today, a leaking can of IPA. The leakers have been in the middle of the 24, one lager had a pin hole 1 inch below the top, the other lager and the IPA leaked it the lid top seal to the can. Just saying you need to check this out. Hedley Crowther, Port Alberni, 250 723 4751 read more

Parallel 49 is one of my favorite breweries in Vancouver, as they always have such a vast array of beers to choose from. It's really nice to sit in their beer garden in the summer and they also offer beer flights! They also have a great annual Oktoberfest event with live music that's really fun and festive! The food options are pretty decent as well. There's plenty of seating and they even have a small store where you can buy beer to go! read more

Great brewery, lots of options and food on deck which is a plus. Would definitely recommend!

We visited here based on a friend's recommendation. We order a cranberry radler (I'm not a big beer drinker so wanted something easy to drink) and it was a great beer as I'm more a g&t guy. We had the spicy chicken burger with waffle fries. Burger was solid and had a good kick. The picked jalapeños with cole slaw was a great combo. Waffle fries with cilantro mayo was a nice touch. Ran out of donuts so had a ginger beer to finish off the meal. Was a solid beverage and lots of ginger flavour (wish I had some gin)... and yes, I understand I went to a brewery for dinner! All in all, good meal and would recommend a visit. read more

Friday date night and ventured to East Vancouver Parallel 49 Brewing. We arrived at 7:20pm and it was really busy. We looked for seats before ordering and none available. We proceeded to order first. We ordered: - spicy chicken with waffles fries - husband loved it. Ate it so fast. I went to wash my hands and when I returned he finished the burger. - bacon cheeseburger - it was really tasty and good. The meat paddy was super juicy. It was a bit messy to eat for my liking. - 2 cranberry radler beer - light and flavourful - poutine - good tasting poutine - carnival mix - paired nicely with the beer The ambiance on a Friday night, high energy for sure. We ended up finding our seats when we finished ordering as a party was leaving. score! Beer is served at pick up section (like Starbucks). If you ordered food they will give you a number paddle to find you once food is ready to be served. Pretty cool to see their kitchen is in a food truck. Great selection of beer if you like beer, you'd like it here. Food was tasty with good quality. Great times at Parallel 49! read more

This is a review for one of their brews! I pick up Parallel 49 at my local liquor Warehouse and I am really diggin this new one, well new to me anyway Holy Salty Scot! It's a Sea Salted Caramel Scotch Ale. It's really a Killer Brew!!! A strong beer at 7.2% Has a lot going on from the aromas as you put your glass to your mouth, the bite and the flavour as you take the first chug, then the wonderful after taste. The tingling of alcohol, lingering caramel flavour and the salty finish is exactly what I am looking for in a beer drinking experience!!! I think I found my new fave. If you drink Budweiser or Corona and that's your go to then this is not for you but for flavour flavour flavour it's a must in your beer fridge. read more

49 is always packed everytime I come here. Even with the safety measures in place, many people forgo restaurants and eat at home instead. But people really like beer, I guess! They're willing to come out to 49 even on rainy days! I am not actually a beer fan, so I had a cocktail. I came here with a group of colleagues after work for drinks and this was a great place to be. I enjoyed my Pink Lemonade cocktail, and my colleagues loved their beer. Some had seconds. 49 can get filled up pretty quickly in the evening. I'll come back again. read more

Normally a 5 star(love the beer), but lately some menu items not available I mean if you don't have it, remove it from the menu (at least remove it from your website menu). I mean its not that extensive a menu. Who doesn't have their grilled chicken sandwich? (That's twice now).Today it was burgers or nothing. C'mon Parallel 49, you used to be better. read more

First of all and forgive my shouting but I get pretty excited about coming here: - GET A FLIGHT. This will allow you to try 4 smaller sizes of the many beers P49 has on tap. You can also choose one from their "infuser" where P49 pops some random food item/spice into an infuser with one of their beers on tap. **be warned - don't slide your paddle/flight. Your drinks will tip! Always lift! - If you've been to P49 pre-reno, you'll remember they had a food cart outside but since, they're added a "food cart" inside that operates as their kitchen AND they're really stepped up their food game. TO DIE FOR? WAFFLE FRIES -- the cilantro mayo is crack, CHICKEN WINGS (rosemary sage and sweet and spicy are the only ones I've tried). Cons: The wait. This place is bumpin'.. While the wait to get into the brewery is normal, the line ups for ordering are a little longer than other breweries. read more

Came here on a Sunday and it was packed inside. We were able to find seats pretty fast. I like how there are a variety of beers available to choose from. I decided to get a flight of beer to try a few different beers. I think they make good Hazy IPAs based on what I ordered. I mostly gave 3 stars based on the service coming in. On Yelp, it states that dogs are allowed but I was unable to bring my dog in. When one of the ladies working told me dogs aren't allowed in, I was going to take my dog back out and she followed us and repeated again "the dog can't be in here". I don't remember the exact phrase now, but I do remember the way she approached us was rude. I have no problem with places that are not dog-friendly, but it is all in the approach. read more

My favourite local craft beer spot and I must say there are at least 40 choices of beer...what else can you ask for and the food - every single one of them taste so good!! Amazing and pleasant staff, even when is so packed, all the staff is engaged, helpful and get the line moving! I highly recommens this place if you feel like "finger food" kinda food or even just for a good glass of beer! The flight is awesome coz you get a good enough amount of beer and you get to try 4 different flavors! Isn't that awesome?! Go hangout after work and check it out for yourself!!! read more

I mean, the number of beers they have on tap is jaw-dropping. I've been to probably 50+ breweries now and this probably hasn't the largest selection of them all. Props to Parallel 49 for running such a solid establishment that offers food as delicious as their beers! I've enjoyed every beer on tap and their food just hits the spot. I remember loving their mac n cheese on my second (late night) visit. They have an ample amount of seating and the modern vibe of the place is perfect at any time of day. read more

These guys have been around for a while now. They started with only a small selection of beers, served in a small tasting room (at the same location). They've since completely remodeled and grown, built a growler fill and merch area, and have food in house. The beer selection has grown to a healthy selection of 20 or more brews. They make some staples like the Filthy Dirty IPA and Gypsy Tears, but I'm a huge fan of their more experimental or niche beers. Their "infusion" tap is a glass chamber through which they pour beer. The chamber is filled with anything from orange peels and tea, to gummy bears. This allows them to serve some really interesting combinations of flavour. Parking is on the street and generally available within a block or 2. Several other breweries are within easy walking g distance, making this a fantastic stop on any brewery crawl. read more

Parallel 49 is a huge brewery with a food truck inside. Street parking. Large inside, ton of seating. Connecting outside patio. Menu is airport style, very hard to read. They have paper menus with all the drafts. Brewmaster Paddle - 9.50 CAD - Great mix of drinks, light to strong with a sour. 4 drinks included in the paddle. Menu shows it is 8 for the paddle but I was charged 9.50, that was annoying. Gave them 3.5 for this so I rounded down. read more

A very happening place. The row of taps is really impressive... especially as I'm used to smaller breweries. I was suffering from serious FOMO as I tried to pick 4 out of the whole line up for a flight... Of the ones I tried, I enjoyed Trash Panda, a NE IPA, but was rather disappointed with the Lemon Square Ale - which I thought would be a bit sweet but turned out was just sour and bitter... The place is rather big, most of the seats are at the large communal tables with tall chairs. My friends ordered snacks such as wings and burgers, but I was saving room for dinner so I didn't try. Personally I prefer a quieter, smaller brewery, so I can't say I am a fan, especially since I didn't enjoy the beers too much. But that's all just personal preference, and I can see how this place is popular. With the snacks and range of beer and the energetic vibe, it is a good place with a group of friends. read more

Went here for a afternoon drink and got the grapefruit raddler, waffle fries and jackfruit tacos. All were amazing. I am not a big fan of bbq sauce on the tacos, so I might not get that again but it was an interesting taste. Looking forward to trying something else next time. read more

#500 goes out to one of my favourite breweries in Vancity. I'm just going to bullet point a few of my favourite things: + Their creative branding. I mean, just look at their beer labels. They're so well designed, funky, and out there. Kudos to the artist who designs all their labels. Even their beer names are cool. + Their beer. I usually switch between their Filthy Dirty IPA and Trash Panda Hazy IPA. Before I switched to IPAs, I drank quite a bit of their Ruby Tears Red Ale. They also come up with really great seasonals, so keep an eye out at your local liqour stores or visit the brewery to get your hands on one of them. They once had an Imperial White IPA that I LOVED. P49, if you could bring that back, that would be a dreaaaam. + Their street kitchen. This is a nice recent little addition to the brewery, but has quickly become one of my favourite parts about visiting P49. When I'm brewery hopping around Mount Pleasant/East Van, I always make sure to end at P49 because they have the best food out of all the breweries in this area, in my opinion. A couple of my faves: hawaiian jackfruit taco, crispy cod taco, pesto mac and cheese, sweet and spicy chicken wings, korean fried broccoli, and spicy crispy chicken sandwich. Realistically you can get anything from their menu and leave with a happy belly. I got some serious love for you, Parallel 49. Thanks for the good vibes, good beers, and good food. read more

Lots of beers on tap, lots of *good* beer, good variety of beer styles, big spacious place, some outdoor seating, fun atmosphere. Music is a bit loud inside and makes it hard to talk because the structure has reflective surfaces. If the weather is nice, I prefer to site closer to the patio area. It's too bad that's not going to be an option in the winter Decent food options on-site too, although I'd give this place a 5 if it was a _little_ better. I had the crispy cod taco and pork belly taco. The tortilla is an important part of a taco and it was the most generic, shit store bought flour tortilla served cold and honestly it detracted from the decent fillings. Chicken wings were good - the bbq flavor went well with beer, but it was a little cold by the time it got to us, and it wasn't a particularly busy night. Poutine Wass good pub grub though! Overall, I like this place a lot and will be back hopefully in many occasions! read more

We came here before they closed for renovation. They had great beer, great Canadians around and great funky hipster interior design that fitted the environment in East Vancouver. We came here many times. If we came earlier in the evening, there were always seats and tables but if we came here later at night, oh man! It could be packed and we had to wait in line. We look forward to going here again once they have finished renovation. We look forward to seeing their new look and of course enjoy their beer! read more

If you drink, then you must come here. It's got flights for about $4.00. This is the place to get drunk on the cheap. Sure, it's not really a bar. It's a tasting room. It's a small space and usually so crowded that you cannot even get a seat. But the beer is cheap! Downsides: -Not much...it only has one washroom....and there's not enough seating....but then, none of the other tasting rooms have enough either so...really, it's just mostly upside if you like to drink. To me, it's not a bar, but a place to drink. It's not a place to meet people (unless of course it's to meet your friends) but a place to drink. It somewhat reminds me of the cambie, except newer. But it's not a place to meet people...it's literally a place just to get drunk really cheap in a clean establishment. read more

Parallel 49 has a great vibe and a great big patio. Unlike most breweries, they actually serve food in a food truck that sits inside the actual brewery! With a lot of beers, you can probably do a few flights without repeating. Lots to try and lots on tap... I was brought here for a class and ended up liking the place so much that I just hanged around afterwards. It is in the middle of a commercial industrial zone but the brewery is filled with so many people enjoying the sun and beer that you forget of the dull box buildings just piled up around you. With the sun shining brightly into the brewery, you just lean back and enjoy the many different sips you can have in your flights. The staff here works pretty hard cleaning and clearing all the glasses. So there always seem to be space to sit since they glasses never pile up. Usual flights here are 4 smaller glasses and they're a reasonable $8. There is a huge selection you can pick and choose from... you got your radlers, trendy IPAs, red ales, and darker dopplebock. I know some people have complained about their recent change but this is still a very good spot that most cities wished they had. We tried a fair bit but I only strongly remember 2. Filthy Dirty - This one was brightly citrus when it first hits your tongue and stays that way till the last notes of bitterness takes over. If I really think about it ... it tastes like sour orange pith. A bit sweet, definitely tarty, and hits you with that mild bitter end. It's a patio drink for the summer. Boombox IPA - Another citrus IPA but this one is a bit different as it's more mellow and sweeter than the Filthy dirty. It almost has a creamier finish too. Not saying this is dessert but definitely a good one to have after dinner. Overall, I like it here for the vibe but also how it has a lot of food options and seating. Maybe that's the norm on the west coast but that's more the rare case in Toronto. I would definitely come back if I'm in the city. read more

- More root beer and chicken wings please! - Friends + good food + beer = a chill week Parallel 49 Brewing is located in East Vancouver. My husband said they make nice wings and I am a big fried chicken fan. Perfect match! Root beer: I am not that into beer so I chose root beer. It looked darker than other root beer I've seen. The flavor of spice made it extraordinary and was strong in a good way. Best root beer I've ever had. Beer: a huge selection. I like their electronic tap list. I didn't try but my husband said it's nice. Wings: we tried 3 different flavors. - herbs: flavor was too weak and not salty enough. - bbq rub: superb, finger licking, well flavored. - sweet and spicy: it's very spicy but you can't help eating it. Their fries were yummy too. Tips: good to go with friends so that you can share a few pounds of wings with different flavor. Oh, I want their root beer again. read more

This brewery has really improved on its service, beer selection and food options. Also, the atmosphere after the renovations is far more inviting & pleasurable than before. It can be a little overwhelming as there is a very large selection of beer to choose from on their computerized menu board. However, you're bound to find that exact beer you're looking for. I also happened to stop by when they had guest taps, beer from other breweries, which allowed for the opportunity to sample beer I otherwise may not have come across. I recommend getting a taster set if you haven't been here before. That way you get to maximize your tasting experience. It's not super cheap but it's quality local beer. I also appreciate the food truck they have placed in the tasting room. You can order donuts, fried chicken, etc. They also have some snacking options. I really like the charcuterie board. If you enjoyed the beer, you can pick some up on your way out from the on-site liquor sales room. Good work, Parallel 49; I'm impressed. read more

Great sélection for a flight or two. Didn't have food. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere.

Like many of the East Van craft breweries, Parallel 49 is set in an industrial area of East Van. Everyone we ran into in that area of Triumph were only there to hit the tasting room/retail area/growler fill station. Nice to have the food truck out front each time we stopped by as like many craft breweries, the food options are very limited. The Parallel 49 beers are very popular in and around the Lower Mainland with many establishments carrying one or two of their products. Gypsy Tears (Ruby Ale) is a very popular beer (understandable as it is a very drinkable beer) but I am more of a fan of the Filthy Dirty IPA (7.2% and 76 IBU). The staff are pleasant and knowledgeable and each experience at Parallel 49 has been positive...it is worth the drive. read more

We were so happy we found this place amongst some not-so-great breweries in Vancouver (I'm talking about you, Yaletown). We actually started at the nano-brewery Powell Street (really enjoyed that place) and walked over to Parallel 49. The space is large, bright and airy. There is plenty of seating and plenty of beers on tap. The servers were great about giving samples and the prices were reasonable. I liked the watermelon beer as well as a lager they had on tap. We ended up buying a bottle of their Black Hop to bring home. What else is cool about this joint? They have several of those nifty growler fillers! People were coming in and out and buying growlers like crazy. On a side note, we told a TX friend to check this place out when he was there on a work trip... and guess who he saw? Jensen Ackles from Supernatural (they film in Vancouver). So yeah, Jensen Ackles likes it, therefore you should like it. read more

The poutine was also delicious. Great fries. Lots of seating. Open and comfortable area to enjoy drinks. Very nice staff. read more

After being closed for a few months, it looks like they completely renovated the place. While the place is still popular, it is disappointing to see that the original character has all but vanished. How have things changed for the worse? Let me count the ways. - No more 3rd party food trucks in front. There is now a food truck looking kitchen (they took a trailer and cut it in half, then permanently mounted it inside) that makes in-house food. I didn't try the food this time, but I would assume there is no way they can match the variety that was available before. - The place went quite a bit upscale but the theme is now out of whack. For example, the drinks menu board behind the counter board now looks something out of an airport or ferry terminal. - The place is squeaky clean, to the point it has a strange artificial and sterile feeling. The feeling of authenticity is gone. It almost feels like a museum exhibit. - The chairs have been replaced with rigid clanky aluminum ones. These ones look and feel like they're from a prison. I'm sure this makes them easy to clean, but they're absolutely awful to sit on. - Flights used to be $4 (ie best deal in town). Now they're $8. The beer selection also seems to have doubled overnight, but a bunch of the original brews also seemed to be missing. - The staff used to know me by name since I was a regular. Now I don't recognize a single person. Where did they all go? I guess the good that came out of this situation is that there are more beers available before as mentioned, and that there's now an outdoor sidewalk patio. Too bad it's not covered though. My buddy and I got drenched when it suddenly began to rain. I came back a couple of times to try to get over the points listed above, but the place just feels weird now. I really have trouble recommending this place. Guess I'll have to reminisce over the good times I had over the years here, while drinking craft beer elsewhere. Such a shame. read more
