The Parkside Brewery — Restaurant in Port Moody

This is definitely my kind of brewery. If you are into pale ales and IPAs, you can't go wrong with the Parkside Brewery. I think I'm over the hazy IPA craze at this point, but it looks like most breweries in the Lower Mainland, including Parkside, are still very much into it. I guess that's what clients demand. I can live with that. But there are some very appealing brews on tap. I tried a few of their products before from liquor stores and taphouses, so I had an idea what to expect. I should say that I liked their beers more that are not available canned in the liquor stores. Nevertheless, I liked most of the brews I've tried. Maybe Graffiti, not that much since it reminds me a lot of one of my homebrews. Nothing wrong with it, still a good beer. It was five stars service, and the social distancing precautions they take are second to none. I'm very impressed. Unfortunately, no kitchen on site, but there are two taco trucks outside. However, go with Tofino themed tacos since the second one down the block is absolutely awful, just save your time and money. All in all, it was an amazing experience, and I would love to...

There's a lot of good to be said about the lifestyle surrounding Port Moody's relatively new brewery Avenue, and Parkside Brewery accommodates this lifestyle perfectly.

First we have the service. Friendly, talkative staff are happy to welcome you in, and have no problem answering questions about their own products and apparel. Their attitude towards their job reflects a passion that is very much welcomed and appreciated.

Next, the beer. This will always be a subjective area of focus. Some may love it (like myself) and some may not. Many flavors are rather intense and some, such as the Graffiti IPA are VERY flavored.

The location as well is fantastic. The charm in the patio is fantastically lively with the sound of both traffic, park, and boats and general chatter adding to the active charm of the establishment. Trying the chair-modelled flights is a great way to find out what beer suits you best. (I personally recommend the Dusk Pale Ale.)

I Plan on making many more trips out this way from Burnaby and can see this brewery increasing in popularity as time goes on.

Absolutely a must, if...

Love the Brewery itself but, had a terrible experience with a server named Alex (Australian accent). I was there last night and he was extremely rude and didn’t seem to come by our table much. Then I called today to ask about Canada Day hours and he told me rudely “he has no idea, check the website”. I hung up and checked the website to see that you guys closed at 9pm on almost everyday... I was still curious about if holiday hours were different or if maybe you extend hours for Canada day however I was iffy about calling back to confirm because of how I was treated on the phone already. I got a friend of mine to call back and try and confirm the 9pm closing and she was treated even more rudely. He cut her off while she was talking saying “I have no idea at all” then she asked to speak to someone who would know and he cut her off again in a very rude tone “there’s nobody available here we are extremely busy”. Long story short we won’t be going to Parkside on Canada Day and might not come again until Alex...
