The Craft Beer business in Vancouver is booming and at this time of year we get treated to some extra special recipes to suit the Winter season, from tasty Beers such as Winter and Pumpkin Ales to scintillate the taste buds for your pleasure!

Vancouver may not have as many Craft Beers as the city of Portland does – this may be partly to do with the difference in Liquor laws over the border, but, none the less there has certainly been an explosion in the micro-breweries cropping up in Vancouver as people are looking towards this kind of style, here you will come across Beers with more daring recipes and flavours than ever before, also as the market widens there is now an increase in demand for Organic beers, Gluten Free and kosher beers such is the popularity of this business.
