Yelp's Pint Runneth Over


This Weekly Yelp brought to you by Velopalooza
"Howe" does a beer sampling "Sound"?

Vancouverites aren't exactly shy about their suds. But alas, a good micro can be hard to find at your average Cold Beer and Wine Store. So your Weekly Yelp is here to hop you up on the freshest spots to find a frosted barley pop worth drinking. You betta beer-lieve it!

“With over 40 craft beers on tap,” St. Augustine’s is a “must for anyone who likes craft beer,” promises Brad T. He considers himself quite the cicerone and recs "pairing their Flintstones-sized ribs with a pale ale and the oysters with a wheat beer." Kat S gives The Whip and its collection of all the "great microbrews our province has to offer” a crack. The "specialty cask openings on Sunday afternoons" also sound like the perfect cure for what ales us! Andy Y prefers to fill up his beer belly with Three Lions' "European beer and English-style comfort food.” They do a bang-up job of offering all the classics — from pints of Tetley's to Bangers And Mash.

Prefer to get your brewed awakening right at the source? Monique B stocks up on some of Whistler Brewing Company’s “less-readily-available options” at their home base and considers it “the best brewery tour in BC.” Or follow in Jeff S's footsteps and head over to Howe Sound Inn & Brewing. Named after a treacherous grade four rapid on the Elaho River, he considers their signature The Devil's Elbow "to be one of the best IPAs anywhere.” And Darcy C is a fan of R & B's modus hop-erandi: “These guys make delicious beer and they're active on the charity scene.” They’re truly “making the world a better place. With beer.“ Pouring for the poor? That's Yelp's kind of philanthropy.

Firefly helpfully subdivide their brews into flavours like bitter roasted and caramel for the take-away crowd. Michael C swoons, "The selection is astounding and the staff is helpful and passionate.” Meanwhile, Peter S proclaims that “Kerrisdale is the new Mecca for craft beer," thanks to West Coast Liquor. It may be the new kid, but “with each passing day its beer selection grows like a frothy ale." And while the bar itself may get mixed reviews, Malloreigh M points out there’s one common theme to Central City’s reviews: “They make incredible beer,” which you can score from their on-site liquor store. Stay thirsty, my friends!
