Parallel 49 Brewing Co, located near Hastings St. and Victoria Dr.
1946 Triumph St, Vancouver, BC V5L 1K5, Canada
Looks like Vancouver is changing it's trend when comes to beer drinking and beer shopping.
Instead of the usual pubs, clubs and restaurants, people are moving on to filling "Growlers": much like filling your home drinking water with distilled water from grocery stores, but only it's BEER....
There are quite a number of craft beer places that you can "fill it up", and Parallel 49 shouldn't sound too unfamiliar since you see them on tap in many pubs and restaurants...
Tried 7 types of beer from this places: Old Boy Classic Ale, Hayfever Saison, Salty Caramel Scotch Ale, Belgian Strong, Russian Imperial Stout, Nitro Milk Stout, and Gypsy Tears w/ Juniper
Quite frankly I don't recall some of the beer, since I didn't plan to start this blog until few days after, but there are few comments to be made on few beer.
Hayfever: A hoppy beer that is not on my favorite list, I never liked hoppy beer anyway, not the beer's fault
Salty Caramel Scotch Ale: Favorite out of the 7, esp in winter. Smooth and soothing much like drinking hot chocolate in cold, easy drinking!!
Belgian Strong: STRONG....10% beer, that's why it tastes sweet, extra sugar must be added to boost up the alcohol level
Nitro Milk Stout: My buddy told me it's "suppose" to taste like Guinness, but totally failed. Tastes like watered down beer, very flat and plain...
Gypsy Tears w/ Juniper: in case you don't know what juniper is, here you go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper_berry
Another good beer good for winter, you can definitely taste the ginger and juniper in the beer, another fruity (is ginger a "fruit"?!) beer good for winter, spicy food lovers must try...
From closest to farthest: Nitro Milk Stout, Belgian Strong, Salty Caramel Scotch Ale, Hayfever
Location & Ambience: Little surprised of how hidden it is, almost at the end of Victoria Dr, with lots of autobody shops in the neighborhood, but inside it's trendy and simply like most other growlers
Service: Pass
Inner voice: SERIOUSLY?? $3.5 to try 4 testers??
Final Say: 4 / 5 mugs.... With that many beers to choose from, with that price tag, it's hard not to love them
