Brewery Creek, Vancouver - part 4 (33 Acres Brewing Co)

33 Acres Brewing Co is located at 15 West 8th Avenue. There is a Mobi bike sharing station nearby and bicycle parking stands on the pavement in front of the building.

The walk from Broadway - City Hall, via tree-lined West 8th Avenue, is fairly level and passes Jonathan Rogers Park, with open views towards the mountains of North Vancouver, just before reaching 33 Acres Brewing Co.

Earlier, on the evening of Sunday 2 October, I met Lucinda off the 99 / B Line express bus from the University of British Columbia (UBC) at the Broadway - City Hall stop, just outside the entrance to the Skytrain station with the same name. This point is marked with a blue box near the base of the map above.

The 33 Acres tasting room was busy when we arrived. A high table with no stools was the only option at first but luckily we were soon able to find another table with seating. The room has a capacity of 60 and no reservations are possible.
We admired the minimalistic style of the room which is painted white and has big windows at the front. Some plants relieve the industrial style.
Coffee, from a sleek machine on the bar cournter, as well as beer are served here.
The beer I enjoyed here was 33 Acres of Ocean (5.6% ABV) in a style described as 'evolutionary from a typical IPA with an assertive hop, lower alcohol content, and a slight pine aroma.' It is brewed with hops, harvested near the Pacific Ocean, including Galena, Cascade and Citra.
Different food trucks provide food at most lunchtime and evening sessions except Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
With Lucinda to talk to, there was no opportunity to take more photos at 33 Acres.
From here it would be easy to walk to Brassneck, R&B Brewing or Big Rock. Blog posts, with rather more photos from my solo visits, are also available for these brewery taprooms in the Brewery Creek / Mount Pleasant area.

Footnote:

Two days later, I would catch a bus to UBC to visit the Museum of Anthropology at UBC (MOA) with its superb collection that includes items from the Haida Nation including decorative pipes made from argillite.

Afterwards I met up with Lucinda, at her college, and she kindly offered me a bottle of Grapefruit Ale brewed in British Columbia by Whistler Brewing Co, a 5% ABV seasonal beer that is her favourite and has now become one of mine! Cheers!
