Hollywood North. Gateway to Whistler. Matchless Asian cuisine. The Winter Games. Legal drinking at age 19. Hockey, hockey, hockey. All of these things define Vancouver, British Columbia. With so much to offer, just six hours north of Portland and three hours north of Seattle by car, Vancouver is a craft beer lover’s destination just waiting to be discovered.
Picture yourself tucked away in a corner pub in the middle of London on a late afternoon. Locals have taken their positions on the well-worn wooden barstools and are buying rounds to toast the conclusion of another work day. It's a common scene in hundreds of English pubs, but what you might not expect to see there, too, are plates of innovative, gourmet cuisine to go with classic English ales.
With a handful of brewpubs, more than a couple worthy beer bars, and one of the best bottle shops in Washington, this unassuming beer city is definitely worth a visit. Follow us while we journey through Southwest Washington’s version of Beervana. Who knows? It may just become your new favorite beer city.
Our “church” may not offer a long-term plan for the hereafter, but we guarantee you'll find the post-Saturday-night-here-and-now a heck of a lot more tolerable.
