10 Best Craft Beer Spots in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"When it opened in 1995, Steamworks, a huge and handsome brew pub, was one of the first to really carry the craft beer torch. Ever since, it has become a Vancouver destination for beer lovers of all stripes, including those who have recently caught onto the trend. You’ll find lots of original beers, including an easy-drinking Czech-style pilsner to the very sturdy Black Angel India Pale Ale, which offers a strong, hoppy taste that’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Steamworks is a full-service restaurant with a menu that generally hews toward hearty, pub-style staples like burgers, wings, and pasta. But if you’re in the mood for something more, there are plenty of other options, including an Expense Account Steak, a 12-ounce strip accompanied by a prawn skewer, mushrooms, and garlic toast for CDN$50 ($38)." - Guy Saddy
