Sometimes the best craft beer experience is about more than just great brews; it’s about the culinary delights that can elevate a visit from memorable to extraordinary. While cities across the United States are celebrated for their craft beer and incredible brewery scenes, let’s take a journey to Vancouver for a taste of craft breweries that spotlight not only excellent beer but also inventive food offerings. These spots redefine what it means to pair a pint with a plate, offering a true feast for the senses.
Superflux Beer Company
Superflux Beer Company stands out with its modern ambiance and an impressive lineup of IPAs that has beer lovers flocking to its East Vancouver location. However, this brewery is building a reputation for more than its carefully crafted beers—it’s the culinary offerings that add a unique twist to the experience. For instance, you can indulge in a reinterpretation of the classic beer and hot dog combo. The brewery offers a creative selection of Two Rivers dogs, such as The Steak Frite, combining dry-aged beef and decadent béarnaise sauce with crushed chips and sautéed oyster mushrooms, or The Brat Dog, featuring pork and beef bratwurst topped with house-made beer mustard and sauerkraut. And let’s not overlook their standout chicken sandwich, layered with arugula, provolone cheese, roasted tomato mayonnaise, pepperoncini, and pumpkin seed pesto on a perfectly soft baguette.
As craft beer enthusiasts explore the local scene, BreweriesNearMe.us highlights spots like Superflux for their dedication to not just beer, but a complete gastronomic experience that satisfies both foodies and craft beer aficionados alike.
Strathcona Beer Company
Head over to East Hastings and you’ll land at Strathcona Beer Company, a staple beloved for its inventive approach to pub fare and exceptional beers. Known for a pizza menu that captures the attention of visitors near and far, they offer delicious options like the Honey Swine, which features a delightful combination of pepperoni, roasted red onions, and perfectly spicy hot honey. If you prefer something lighter but equally tasty, their ‘Not Your Average’ Kale Salad is packed with a mix of vibrant flavors, including baby kale, dried cranberries, and a citrus miso dressing. And, of course, their Garlic Bites—pizza dough chunks drenched in garlic butter and Parmesan—are a must-try side dish perfect for pairing with their refreshing brews.
