Yaletown Brewing Company

On the Grid : Yaletown Brewing Company

"Yaletown's iconic brew pub is still going strong, recently adding a liqour store, micro distillery and a new distillery pub to its flagship pub / restaurant. At the original location, the casual atmosphere is inviting to all, as evidenced by the diverse crowd at all times of day. It is brighter and more open than your typical pub, reliably blasts classic guitar rock, and boasts one of the best patios in town. The beer is great, of course, but so is the food. Featuring a long list of pub faves, including a fantastic chicken schnitzel sandwich, gooey mac and cheese (add the bacon) and a great assortment of pizzas (our picks are the Johnny Mac and grilled shrimp). Sunday lunch is a great deal - $10 thin-crust pizza and $4.50 pint. Can't beat that." - Becki Chan & Milos Begovic

10 Best Craft Beer Spots in Vancouver | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located on Mainland Street, one of Yaletown’s two main north-south arteries, Yaletown Brewing Company has been an after-work, lunch, and evening mainstay in Vancouver’s converted warehouse district since 1994. The brew pub—which also includes a 160-seat restaurant—is classic Yaletown, with exposed brick walls and rough-hewn timber cross beams. At the back of the pub, behind a wall of glass, is the guts of the operation: massive vats full of fresh beer. It’s owned by Mark James Group, which also owns The Distillery, a restaurant and distillery a few doors down. The excellent craft suds are all made on the premises. Try an easy-drinking 604 Lager or the Loading Bay IPA, a more challenging 6.2% ABV with a 48 IBU rating—slightly bitter and a bit more boozy. This place has a much larger menu than most brew pubs. Whether you’re in the mood to graze on beer pretzels or the tempura-battered fried pickles by Granville Island’s Kaylin & Hobb, or if you’re hankering for something more substantial—duck confit, say, or a bone-in ribeye—there’s a serious assortment of options." - Guy Saddy
