Sometimes the best craft brewery experience isn\u2019t about the beer at all.<\/p>\n
There are some spots in Vancouver that throw the typical pepperoni sticks and bags of chips (nothing wrong with those, though!) out the window in favour of fun, fresh-made, and altogether delicious food menus. Here are some of the best craft breweries in Vancouver at which to grab a tasty bite.<\/p>\n
Superflux Beer Company<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nSuperflux might have originally become known for its sleek interior and its even sleeker IPAs, but the East Van brewery\u2019s food shouldn\u2019t be missed, either. A beer and a hot dog is a classic combination, and Superflux pays homage to it with a selection of Two Rivers<\/a> dogs that range from The Steak Frite (dry-aged beef, bearnaise sauce, crushed chips, sauteed oyster mushroom) to The Brat Dog (pork and beef bratwurst, house-made beer mustard, sauerkraut). Also consider the chicken sandwich, made with arugula, provolone, roasted tomato mayonnaise, pepperoncini, and chicken covered in pumpkin seed pesto, all served on a soft, chewy baguette.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bc.thegrowler.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Strathcona_pizza-and-salad.jpg\")
You can never go wrong with Strathcona Beer Company\u2019s pizza, but don\u2019t miss the Garlic Bites with your choice of dipping sauce. Supplied photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nStrathcona Beer Company<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nAn East Hastings staple named for the neighbourhood it was born in, Strathcona boasts an extensive pizza menu with flavours such as the Honey Swine (pepperoni, roasted red onions, hot honey) and the Garden of Strath (arugula pesto, charred broccoli, preserved lemon, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese). For something lighter, there\u2019s the \u2018Not Your Average\u2019 Kale Salad with baby kale, dried cranberries, Parmesan, green onion, orange, apple, toasted pistachio, and a citrus miso dressing. Don\u2019t miss the Garlic Bites, either: pizza dough chunks are tossed in garlic butter and Parmesan, and served with your choice of dipping sauce. Carby perfection.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bc.thegrowler.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/33-Acres_pretzel.jpg\")
Try the warm pretzel with mustard paired with a glass of 33 Acres of Ocean.

Enjoy a pint of Darkness or Ocean with the Mount Pleasant brewery\u2019s ever-evolving food menu\u2014which may feature items such as the forever-favourite popcorn smothered in nutritional yeast and garlic oil, meaty castelvetrano olives with lemon zest, or the warm pretzel and mustard (add chorizo if you know what\u2019s good). The Italian Deli Sandwich is worth a look, too, featuring provolone, a trio of Italian meats, shaved onion, banana peppers, and red wine vinaigrette.<\/p>\n
Brassneck Brewery<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nMain Street\u2019s Brassneck has somehow made snacking sophisticated. There\u2019s the warm baguette with herbed butter (tres chic), the Sesame Squash Miso Hummus with homemade crackers (just the right amount of umami), and the Whipped Feta With Green Olive & Za\u2019atar (salty, creamy, addicting). There\u2019s also a rotating flavour of hot and savoury pie, served warm with grainy mustard and pickles. It\u2019s all the perfect fodder to be washed down with a glass of Passive Aggressive or the aptly-named No Brainer. Finish things off with the not-too-sweet miso chocolate chunk cookie by local bakeshop Scarlito\u2019s Way<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/bc.thegrowler.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Smashed-Potatoes.jpg\")
At The Growler, we\u2019ve never met a potato we didn\u2019t love, and Main Street Brewing\u2019s Smashed Potatoes are no exception. Supplied photo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMain Street Brewing<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\nFor its newly revamped food program, Mount Pleasant\u2019s Main Street Brewing phoned a friend: Karl Gregg of Rosie\u2019s Hospitality<\/a>. Known for its Texas-style BBQ, Rosie\u2019s took the opportunity to pair Main Street\u2019s easy-drinking beers with a menu of elevated yet accessible bar classics. The scotch egg is three-bite comfort, with a local hard-boiled farm egg wrapped in pork and beef sausage and served alongside beer mustard and pickles. Or there\u2019s smoked brisket sausage roll, which sees house-made sausage wrapped in flaky golden pastry. The smoked olives are nothing to shy away from; and same goes for the banh mi, which can be made with pulled pork for the meat eaters or smoked tofu and braised mushrooms for the vegetarians. A sweet and spicy chili sauce brings it all together.<\/p>\nGo for the beer, stay for the food\u2014these places know that it takes two to tango.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
