A couple of weeks ago, my friend and wine writer, Karl Kliparchuk joined me on our own tour of three fairly new craft breweries in Port Moody.
Our first stop was at Yellow Dog Brewing
Art Wall
The tasting room is themed all about dogs and is well thought out where the blackboard indicated which beers are available. We sat at the tasting bar that over looked the wall of dog designs made by schoolkids, there is also table seating. Established in 2014, this is a family-run brewery focused on producing high quality locally crafted beer for everyone to enjoy.

This bus adventure and the neighborhood walking tour was a lot of fun and it was great to explore more of the neighborhood and experience more of the local craft beer scene in Port Moody. Most of the tasting rooms are open daily, so put on your walking shoes then find a friend or two to join you.
