"Callister Brewery, Hastings Sunrise Grandview Woodland by WoodType. The new kid on the block. Callister’s space is incredible—industrial and windowless from the outside, but naturally lit and bright on the inside. Though it’s a little out of the way, the beer is just as good as more centrally located competitors’. This is a great place to begin (or end) a brewery bike tour."

You should experience this place. I recently had the pleasure of visiting Callister Brewing Co., and it was hands-down one of the best brewery experiences I have ever had. Not only did they have a great selection of beers, but they also had truly incredible craft beers that were uniquely flavorful and tasteful. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a great outdoor patio that provided the perfect setting for socializing and enjoying a cold brew. The staff were super knowledgeable and passionate about beer and eager to discuss the different brews and answer any questions. They were also very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend checking out Callister Brewing Co. – it’s sure to be an experience you won’t forget.

The interior looks quite abstract which has a nice feel. It’s quite homely too. Their drinks are really good the blueberry lemongrass I got has a sharp taste and feels fresh. They also have barrels that kind of look like they are topped with beer which adds a nice touch to the interior appearance. It is small, but definitely worth the visit.

They have a good variety but I enjoyed a pint from 1 of their 3 cask beers (Scottish 80) and I will be back for more. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The walls are covered in art and the space is open and bright. If you toured a dozen craft breweries in 1 afternoon (admittedly that's too many but if you did) you would remember Callister.

Nice place for small batch craft, lots of variety for beer lovers of all stripes. Go check it out, and then go back, they're sure to have something different. update: They have reduced the shared brewing space options and now have mostly their own beers exclusively. Still excellent and cask options are available. Highly recommend. updated update: this place is becoming my regular whenever I'm in town. Don't let a Californian drink more of their beer than you. 😉

Lovely little tasting room in East Van! Highly recommend that you try their IPAs as well as their sodas (we tried the Raspberry Earl Grey one and it was delicious!) We also tried one of their Landjäger sausages, which was so so tasty! There’s lots of cool art spread around the room and brewery!

We stopped in for a quick beer and discovered they had beer engines! It was surprising to see out side of the UK and the beers on them taste amazing! My favorites were the stout and the porter that are on regular tap! Can't wait to go back

This place has some great beers, I highly recommend it. Right in the heart of Yeast Van, so you don’t have far to stumble to the next brewery.

Really loved the atmosphere of this place and the employees/owners. The 4-brewery collab space was an amazing concept. A lot of the taps are experimental, and a few 4-oz pours went unfinished, but we'd definitely come back again.
