The best brewery patios in North Vancouver

While the summer weather got off to a bit of a slow start in 2022, it's finally warm enough to start heading out to patios.

And we know there's nothing better than hitting up the local brewery in your neighbourhood.

To celebrate the summer patio season, we're bringing together the best brewery patios in North Vancouver.

North Point Brewing

North Point Brewing has super chill vibes with a beautiful contemporary cabin feel inside its double-decker lounge. That vibe extends out to the dual patio. The patio adjacent to the brewery is covered and comfortable when the weather isn't ideal and is designed for laid back sessions with friends. The second patio is on the other side of the sidewalk with picnic tables and optional umbrellas.

🍺 What to drink: Go on a hot sunny day and order the Lite Lager. It's brewed true to the style and is exceptionally quenchable. A laid back beer for a laid back experience.

Beere Brewing Co.

This family-run brewery—the family's name is actually Beere!—has a cozy patio with a chill atmosphere. Dog owners love it for its dog-friendly vibe and others love the friendly staff, unpretentious atmosphere, and inclusive feel.

🍺 What to drink: Pinky Tuscadero is a raspberry lemonade sour packed with Fraser Valley raspberries. It's not too sour, and the use of oats in the grain bill gives it a smooth mouthfeel.

• Food options: Basic snacks. If you need food, you might want to start here and then walk to one of the other breweries in the area for part two of your session.
