BierCraft Tap & Tapas

Vancouver


Originally founded with a huge, hangover-triggering Belgian beer menu – it still has lots of rare international ales – BierCraft has since shifted its boozy focus to incorporate the surging BC microbrew scene, including dozens of choice drafts from the likes of Four Winds and Strange Fellows. On sunny days, snag a patio seat and keep drinking until you find your favorite tipple.

They're equally serious about their food here, with a gastropub menu studded with tempting tapas plates and brothy bowls of fresh BC mussels (go for the miso-ginger version). This is also one of the Drive's most popular weekend-only brunch spots.
