Red Truck Beer Company Vancouver

Brewpub!

""Red Truck Beer Company" in Vancouver makes my favorite beer to drink at home. How nice that their brewery has become one my faves for hanging out, too!"

Red Truck Lager is my favourite beer to drink at home. So, one day I decided to check out their brewery. It has become one of my favourite place to hang out with my friends.

The brewery is big compared to others and they even have a brewery tour on certain times. Red Truck beer has won a number of awards and is one of the best craft brewery in town.

On Fridays and Saturdays they have live music playing which makes the place very lively! Surprisingly, I never had to wait in queue here.

It is located just few minutes from downtown. You can take a sky train for two stops.

In summer, they have a truck stop concert series with lots of beer and lots of music -- good to check out if you are here during summertime. 

My favourite beer is the dark lager. For food, I go for the regular pub food, which is nothing spectacular, but their beers are fresh and tasty!
