Craft Brew Touring in Port Moody

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

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.

A two block walk West from Twin Sails Brewing to Moody Ales, this brewery had a beautiful and spacious tasting room. The Craft brewery features a tasting room, growler fills, retail and also does wholesale to restaurants and bars around the city.

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.
