Welcome to the home of Canada’s microbrewing revolution
As a Canadian living abroad, when most people ask me about Canadian beer, the same joke usually follows: “Molson, eh?”
In the years following the first world war and repeal of prohibition, the majority of Canada’s breweries were consolidated under three major producers, Molson, Labatt and Carling O’Keefe, whose beers were largely the same in style: mass-produced lager lacking in flavour. Consumers weren’t especially well served, and in the late 1970s a series of long labour strikes among brewery workers meant that they regularly weren’t served at all.

That’s not to say 33 Acres doesn’t try anything new. In 2018, it acquired the space next door, and rather than expand its already popular operation, opened 33 Acres Brewing Experiment, which does exactly what it says on the tin. “Experiment is kind of on the other side where we have a small number of core beers — just two, which are the Fluffy Cloud hazy IPA and our Mezcal Gose,” says Munroe.
The slick, modern tasting room at Strange Fellows brewery is something of a hub for the city’s craft-beer cognoscenti. Iain Hill, who opened the brewery with business partner Aaron Jonckheere in 2014, brought decades of industry knowledge to the operation — and it shows. Strange Fellows offers some of the most diverse, experimental and reliably good beer in Vancouver, from hop-forward IPAs to traditional Pilsners, stouts and Belgian wits, and seasonal fruit beers and sours.
The Italian ethos also extends to the product line, particularly Luppolo’s approach to artisanship and quality, as evidenced by its top-selling beer: a pure and precise Italian Pilsner. “It seems like a very simple beer,” Ross says, “but there’s no hiding there. It needs to be a beautiful, crisp product, which takes a lot of craftsmanship.
