Monkey 9 Brewing Company

April 11, 2018/in Places /by Ben McRae

Craft beer, big screen tv’s, wood fired pizzas, and a bowling alley?!? Monkey 9 Brewing Co has all the ingredients for an awesome night! Located on Richmond’s Entertainment Boulevard, Monkey 9 Brewing takes advantage of the vast amount of land our suburbs provide and utilizes every square foot! Ever found yourself roaming the streets of Vancouver with a group of friends only to find every bar is at capacity? You’ll never have that problem at Monkey 9 Brewing. It boast a spacious layout with ample seating and viewing areas. But what about all this craft beer I’ve been hearing about? Tucked in the background are giant vats of delicious craft beer brewed on site by local Brew Master Travis Lang.

Travis rolled out the red carpet with a behind the scenes tour and even let me try some of his pet projects like the Belgian Waffle Ale and the Banana Hef! After two minutes with Travis you understand how passionate he is about locally sourcing high quality ingredients to make the best beer he can. I love his grass roots approach to brewing craft beer and I’m satisfied to know that Vancouver has gained another passionate brewer! Monkey 9 Brewing Co. is a brew-pub with an excellent menu featuring wood fired pizza’s and a craft beer list with 6 beers brewed right on location! If you thought the fun stopped their you’ll be pleasantly surprised that the brew-pub is attached to a massive bowling alley where you can sip on a beer and go for the coveted Turkey XXX!

I had such a blast at Monkey 9 Brewing I’m seriously considering having my birthday party there. They can accommodate large groups and I like the idea of having an activity to enjoy besides guzzling craft beer! You have to check this place out and if you’re looking for a sweet deal hit it for happy hour 2-5pm daily and indulge in $3.50 craft beers!

I’m always stoked when bars push the boundaries and provide a unique and lasting experience. Monkey 9 Brewing Co. is a great addition to Vancouver’s growing craft beer scene! Born from opportunity, in the year of the monkey, Monkey 9 Brewing is a passionate group people who love good beer and a good time. The number nine represents positivity, gratification, togetherness, magic and wisdom. After sipping on a flight of locally sourced craft beer and soaking in the atmosphere you’ll see why the name is so appropriate. Until next time my fellow beer enthusiasts.

East Vancouver Brewing Company

January 11, 2018/in Places /by Bella Tang-Graham

Living just a couple blocks away from East Vancouver Brewing Company’s Commercial and Venables location, I’ve been eagerly waiting for a chance to check out the newest addition to East Vancouver’s abundant craft breweries. Watching their progress since early last spring has built up the suspense: finally, on one of these twilight-zone foggy nights we’ve been getting in Vancouver recently, I stopped in for a beer.

East Vancouver Brewing Co.

East Van Brewing Company opened its doors in early November, boasting a spacious tasting room, industrial-chic décor, an ACDC pinball machine and a wide variety of indulgences like local pickles from Kaylin and Hobbs, calzones from Bianca Maria Italian Foods and of course, many hoppy, yeasty libations. We were especially intrigued by the Humble Hive English Brown Ale, brewed in collaboration with local company EastVan Bees, who manages hives all over East Vancouver, producing what their website identifies as “hyper-local neighbourhood honey”– “taste the flavor-hoods”! The Humble Hive Ale is imbued with a sweet, honeyed undertone courtesy of East Vancouver’s bees, chocolate malt, and English hops. Other stand-outs include the Jive House Ale, brewed with Norwegian Farmhouse yeast strains and Pacific Northwest Hops to produce a fruity, tart, unconventional brew, and the crisp, easy-drinking Community Lager (also available in six-packs if you’re the take-home type).

Community Roots

The brewery is a tribute to the community from which it draws its name. You’ll find East Vancouver roots everywhere: the flights of six are arranged in a cross shape, reflexive of the iconic East Van sign at Clark and Great Northern Way. A couple of beers deep, I can confidently attest that East-Vancouverites like myself will immediately feel at home and embrace East Van Brewing with open arms: eagerly riding in on our road bikes for a beer, a growler fill, and a hipster-aesthetic fulfilling East Van Brewing Company hoodie (available for 39$ for those of you who want to look like “that craft beer guy”).
