Jeanette and I crossed the river yesterday to try the Brew Pubs of downtown Vancouver. We visited four different places and at each did a sample tray. First stop was Old Ivy that had a neighborhood pub feel and overall a very pleasant place – a place I am glad is not in my neighborhood as I would spend way to much time there. Next was Trusty Brewing. They had the best beer but acoustics were so bad we were quickly driven out of the place by the noise. A few blocks away was Loowit Brewing our next stop. They were doing the brewery being the tap thing. We agreed this was a place we did not need to return to. Last stop was Heathen Brewing where we sampled some beer and had some items off of there happy hour menu. The place is a restaurant style and another one we do not need to return to. So a fun afternoon exploring some new places but no reason to cross the river any time soon.
