Popped in here to refill my growler on the weekend. The place was packed, and there was no place to sit, so I didn't have a chance to sample any other beers. The growler is cheap. $10 will get you a refill - and I think it was around $7 for the deposit. It's about as much beer as a six-pack. I recommend not sticking around. The room at Parallel 49 is shockingly ugly. Tiled, cafeteria-like. Instead, take your bounty and enjoy it in the sunshine! Plenty of parking around, food truck in the front. read more

Killer brewery and tasting room. Great selection of beers and 'fizzlers' - basically fruit flavored beers that are pure deliciousness. I loved the scene here, they were playing funky music and there was a good buzz in the room. We ordered a flight of beers, and loved them all. It was cheap to sample a few, and I will be sure to get a growler next time for just over $10. The hard part will be deciding which of their amazing brews to choose from! Would recommend hitting this up on a little bike brewery tour, maybe grab a pizza at Nicly's after if you get hungry afterwards. I might just have to do this next weekend... read more

Great prices and great beer! Bacon cheesy bread was pretty great too. I'd recommend making this a stop on your brewery tour. The seasonal fruity beers are awesome, the classics are as expected. Lots of seating room, good for small or large groups read more

Parallel 49 Brewing - Worth a visit! - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

39 bees on tap all from this brewery?!! My first flight was absolutely delicious. I experimented a bit with the second flight and wasn't disappointed. Food was good too. Service was top-notch. Great place overall. read more

Coming here for beer on a rainy day is a Vancouver pastime for me. I've tried many craft brews in the Pacific Northwest, but few exceed expectations as much as Parallel 49 does. Their rotating brews are always creative and definitely worth trying....a few times. The only downside is the lack of space here. Everyone who likes good beer wants a piece of this place, so fingers crossed that they can one day host more patrons. read more

Brought some friends by from kamloops. The new Russian imperial stout is amazing! Watch it though it's almost 12% !! It's a beatiful smooth malty glass of bloody lovely creaminess . Umm. Had a bunch of other stuff too! !!! I can't leave without a Salty Scot so I didn't. My friend was blown away by the grapefruit Radler. Beer and grapefruit. You need to taste it to believe it. I will spend the summer with one of these in my hand ! Place was packed at 2:00 ! read more

Parallel 49 Brewing - Their only wee - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Good food, better beer. This place was hopping on a Thursday night. I like the quick service by ordering at the counter - no waiting on a server. The location was easy to get to, and the family style seating made it even more friendly. The food was quick to come by and the burger I ordered was very good. I would get it again. Stop here if you want some good beer and a nice crowd. read more

The best brewery in Eastvan. Great beer, ambience and food. Don't think twice about coming here.

GREAT beer, GREAT food, Neighborhood favorite. Their burgers are amazing, the chef Aubrey is extremely talented. Also that Korean fried broccoli is wild, definitely a must have if you're just sharing some snacks and a flight of beer read more

The staff are very knowledgeable and informative. No attitude or "beer snobbery" whatsoever! There is always something new to try. Can't complain about a $10 growler refill!! Be warned the weekends are busy so you might have to wait 20-40 minutes for your refill, but heck that gives you a chance to taste the new stuff on tap! read more

The bartenders were rad and spent a lot of time answering our questions and gave us great beer recommendations. My dining partner and I each had a 4 beer taster paddle and enjoyed all 8 beers. For lunch we had the spicy chicken sandwich and vegan burger with one side of fries. It was Sunday so we split a brunch doughnut for dessert, the day's flavor was vanilla doughnut with strawberry butter cream frosting and sprinkles. We washed all that down with full beers. And took advantage of the 10% discount in the tasting room with our receipt from the dining room to get a 4 pack of cans and tshirt to go. read more

Has this place ever heard of service ? Should be embarrassed to open your doors. All 4 of the staff we interacted with were rude, unprofessional and arrogant, started to get aggressive too! I Can't remember ever feeling so uncomfortable being served. Not a single staff member offered any help or advice on crafts, or even how to order food/drinks. Instead they just stare at you awkwardly and get annoyed while you browse the menus. If you're in the Hospitality business and you hire people that don't know what that word means, you should probably get out of the business. If you put a FOOD TRUCK in the centre of your pub, maybe hire people who know how to sell food? Terrible atmosphere, doesn't matter how good your beer is, 200 other places also have good beer. Your service is disgusting. Will never be back, I recommend any other craft pub in the area over this one. read more

Typically with breweries you either get amazing beer & ok food. Parallel 49 gives you the best of both worlds, they even have vegan options. My favourite beer is the Seth Rogan & favourite food is the veggie burger with added avocado. The sprouted potato bun is delicious! I wish I could just buy the buns by themselves for sandwiches during the week. The staff are friendly and chill. They let you take a moment to process the menu if you need, fast service and accepting environment. I was very impressed with being able to make a same day reservation for a party of 8. They also let me bring my own cake for the party. A lot of the times it's hard to be involved in beer culture due to being a queer femme however everyone is really accepting & I have never had any issues with the staff members. Thank you guys so much and keep up the good work! read more

Thanks to fabricator Dave for showing us the brewery. We came from Orange,CA and had heard good things about your beers. You definitely lived up to the hype. Right flavors, right price, nice people. Keep up the good work and thanks read more

I've been coming here since there was only a TV, the bars stools and your crew might be the only patrons all night. It's the brewery I have the most fond memories of. Especially back when the tasters were a free for all. Nowadays it's crazy packed and so festive. There's always a diverse group of people. The staff recognize regulars and suggest things you might want to try. Every visit, even if I'm just doing refills, I will get a glass of whatever is in the infuser. It's such a great idea! The beers are great. Hits and misses for me but when I dislike a beer it's just because I'm biased against the type usually. Love the seasonals and collaborations with other breweries. read more

Plenty of options for beer and food! We had the Korean ribs with a few beers! So good! Good vibes, great service! Will definitely return!

Beer was good but honestly the food was way overpriced. We ordered fish tacos and a seared tuna salad .. both of which were entre $$ but appetizer size. This was our 4th brewery today and was the most expensive and lacked any unique feel. Disappointed! read more

Okay, if your ranch dressing is going to be coconut based that should be totally clear on the menu. This combined with the blandest chicken wings I've ever had (well cooked but bland) made it a real weird meal experience. Broccoli is still good, missing the Mac and cheese, room is still great in the summer. read more

I had a few friends visiting from England and wanted to impress them with some of our brewery scene out in Vancouver. I chose Parallel 49 as the place we would eat on our little "tour", and it definitely did not disappoint. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. We weren't exactly sure what type of beers we wanted from their vast selection, and the server was great at choosing ones we enjoyed. We each did a flight and were fans of every beer she chose. The food was the big surprise though. I don't have super high expectations for food at breweries, but I got the chicken sandwich and it was AMAZING. One of the best I've ever had. Chicken was very juicy, and it had a little kick from some jalapenos. Topped off with some red cabbage and a tasty mayo, it was a real highlight. The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars was that the atmosphere left a LITTLE to be desired. I understand that breweries are not going to be like restaurants, but the layout of the brewery somehow managed to amplify a lot of the noise and made it difficult to talk. All in all, I would recommend Parallel 49 very highly. If you are doing a brewery tour in Vancouver make sure you make this your stop for food - you won't be disappointed! read more

Amazing beer, I had their apricot summer brew and can easily brag that it is the best/most delicious beer have ever tried anywhere in the world. read more

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

Is now re opened, looks completely different, kinda lost the vibe it use to have, now is just another cool brewery being cool. Tons of tap selection seems like they have there entire line of beers on tap. Prices have doubled if not more, it's now minimum $7 for a flight more for some beers, .45l used to be $3 now they are $5-$7 Food was Interesting and not really in a good way, fried cauliflower was great, tuna and kale salad was ok not a lot of tuna for the price, the burger was weird it had this weird Mumi sauce I can not remember exactly what it was called, but was really bad, kinda tasted like spicy kimchi sauce, really spoilt the burger, plus I found a massive hair in my meal, kinda spoilt the whole thing, the were only offered $20 gift card but still had to pay $16 plus tax and tip for the burger, so what was the point of the gift why not just take the burger off the bill. Overall the food is defiantly over priced, read more

The beer is always fresh and new ones added often. The staff is friendly. The tasting room is cozy. The food trucks bring your food inside. The beers is amazing! read more

Parallel 49 Brewing - Loved this place since I was a kid :-) - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

You can't beat the price and the beers are excellent, but could you dim the damn lights a little bit? I felt like I was sitting in my fluorescent-lighted office at night. How does an ugly person have a chance of getting picked up in this bar? No amount of beer could wash away the ugly in that light. read more

Really cool establishment. Beer was great and the food was also on point. Lots of seating inside and the layout is neat as they've got garage doors that open up to the outside in warmer weather. Fun place to check out! read more

My wife and I stayed at an Airbnb right across the street and came here 3 times (only place we came to that many times our whole trip). I really liked it here! Really big (some what overwhelming) beer selections that cover all the bases in terms of tastes and preferences, staff is really nice and knowledgeable, the food is really tasty too! I would be here a lot if we lived here. read more

Loved that they used to allow dogs. Now - No! Assuming it must be a liquor/food license thing. Vancouver!

Oh man Parallel makes me want winter to come around because I really miss their salty scotch! that salty caramel taste and beer, oh yea!! oh... what's this? you have a black currant saison sour now? maybe I'll just get used to this tasty tasty black currant instead. Ribena is the black currant drink for kids. Adults drink Parallel 49's black currant sour! P49 is always a good place to hang out and enjoy a beer. Their staff is friendly, there is plenty of bike parking around and there's usually a foodtruck outside! Besides the 2 beers mentioned I also tried the apricot saison which was really good (and i'm not an apricot guy... more oranges). Definately going back! read more

I squeed. I squeed good and loud and I'm proud to admit it. For the discerning beer snob, I always must visit and live vicariously in a city though its beer, wine, and liquor. Vancouver, being a city on the west coast, I had high expectations for the beer scene, and Parallel 49 did not disappoint. Sahti-Claws, Lord of the Hops, Gypsy Tears so good. Seasonal and regularly release alike, Parallel 49 delivers. If you're looking for a good spot to try some unique beer, this is a great starting point. read more

sat outside was great. friendly staff, large selection of tasty beers and the food smelt good but didn't partake. bought a growl to go. was a excellent afternoon. definitely going back soon. read more

5 stars - High praise for a brand new brewery (just opened in May - 3 months ago) but they are undoubtedly going to rise to the top of Vancouver's microbrew scene in a very short period of time. Already unable to keep up with demand (hence no private sales of kegs yet) they have 4 beers available with one being seasonal (Hopparazi (Self explanatory) / Old Boy (Classic) / Gypsy Tears Ruby Ale (Red Ale with some hoppiness) / Seedspitter (seasonal Watermelon). All are available in 6 pack bottles or in a 12 pack called the "Unparalleled" mixer pack. OR even better if you're not too far away: their growler fill. It's like buying a giant 7-11 slurpee mug and coming back for discounted refills! $5 for a 1.89L growler and $10 for the fill. Their seasonal beer is so darn good it is selling like hot cakes accounting for 50% of sales! And it's only available until the end of August so you better hurry down there or a liquor store. It's IMHO the best summer beer - WATERMELON. So incredibly refreshing and tasty I'd be afraid how much I would drink without knowing. Their tasting bar is open Monday to Friday until 7pm. Tours are offered on Fridays throughout the day. This past Friday groups of 30 were taken at a time while the tasting bar was jam packed. read more

After seeing and trying the popular Gypsy Tears in cans at the White Caps match, we looked up Parallel 49 and discovered it was very close to our AirBNB, so we stopped there to try some more of their beer. $4 for four tasters = we tried ALL of them, so I can definitively say, they have good beer! Great variety! Loved that they have food and had a food truck outside so you can just settle in and enjoy. Ambiance is like that of any other brewery, mostly friendly people and the fun of the experience is who you're with! read more

I love that this brewery exists in my neighourhood. I think other craft breweries have a lot to learn from this tasting room/bar. How fun is it to go to a brewery and start tasting away as seasonal beers? In my humble opinion a lot! A 4 not a 5. I really like this place, and with honesty I can't really think of anything bad per se. I visited not liking any of the beer i have tasted, and left liking them all even a little bit. I give this place a 4 out of 5 mostly because I don't absolutely LOVE their beer. I feel like the rating is a reflection of their product as much as the establishment. Try Oktoberfest Pumpkin (always wanted a little pumpkin in the Oktoberfest). read more

This is my favourite local brewery. Unlike most other craft brewers who over hop their beers, they take it easy. The staff who fill the growlers and serve beers in-house are very friendly and efficient. The weak point is that the tasting room is sort of sparse and sterile. I love that they take a photo of their beer menu every day and upload it to their website so that you know exactly what is available for growler fills and tasting. read more

A little dissapointed. New Reno is pretty cool. But the prices are surprising. (16$ burger) Everything else seems to be double or triple price from the previous also. I feel what made this place stand out for me has been lost a little. read more

Best beers period - The new Snap, Crackle, Hop is killer - 9.3% IPA. Just wish we could get the limited releases in the Shuswap. I'm sure that will come with time. read more

WHAT HIPSTER FUCKERY IS THIS? Drive by this place everyday on my way home from work, I've always been meaning to go in. Today I finally did and wish I hadn't. It was around noon, there were 3 other tables besides mine. Had no clue how to order or anything because it was our first time there. Ordered, it took over 40 min (remember there were only 3 other tables) for my friend's food and another 10 for the rest. Have no clue how it took so long to make such little food. Oh, the food. The mac and cheese was an SNL skit. Whipped shitty velveeta (not even real cheese?) is piled high on dry, burnt pasta with breadcrumbs. If my head hadn't exploded when I saw it I would have taken a pic. Waitress finally comes over and when I tell her I don't like it then she asked for details which I gave her then acted like I was rude for telling her. No offer of a refund, I had to go stand in line for 10 min to get my money back. Fucking ridiculous, rude waitstaff who are too concerned with looking cool than doing their jobs and pretentious food. Never again. read more

This is the best craft brewery in east van, hands down. The beer selection is off the hook, with exceptional quality. The service was equally impressive, with attentive and knowledgeable staff. Melissa served us and offered some great suggestions on their menu! Their experimental IPA's are so good, but the food was amazing too! We had their fish tacos, and mac n' cheese, both were so delicious and can't wait to go back again! read more

ooooh went back and forth between 4 and 5 stars but i haven't actually hung out too long at this locale so will be a tad conservative. i have done pickups and really i am commenting on the quality of the beer more than anything. actually now that i think of the last pick up, service was really odd, so a firm 4 stars it is. back to the beer...i am a fan. of all the local nanos (minus driftwood and phillips which will have my heart forever) this is tops in Vancouver. no, i haven't tried all but i've tried many/most. i find P49 one of the more interesting ones. not just going for the typical brews but trying new and distinct ones all the time. i picked up the Braggot this year and while mine has yet to be popped open i have heard many good things. Gypsy tears is a fav and the only one i question is the salty scot which just sounds wrong on so many levels. keep it up P49 read more

Avoid the food truck! I went in hungry and ordered the fish taco. DO NOT DO THIS! For 12$ you get two flaccid cold tiny tiny blobs with no fish in them. If there was fish...I could not find it. On the side cower a few cold fried chips with some cut up tomato thrown on them. Biting into these is horrible. Dry, boring tasteless. Nothing that would satisfy or fill you up. The burger is the most expensive burger in the city, and nothing to look at. Not even good beef. The beer is great, but the food is trash. read more

The Best! I have been visiting P49 for about a year now. From what I recall, they were pioneers of the now trendy tasting rooms. The beer is awesome, so many new ones to try all the time. I have filled growler after growler. There seems to be a flavor for everyone! The beer flights are the lowest rates in the city. Damn, they are so cool here, that at one point I remember the tasters were free! So nice to have the best local brewery in my 'hood! Love the staff too! read more
