Heathen Brewing & Kitchen — Restaurant in Vancouver

I have been returning to heathen brewing (open thurs-sat afternoons) whenever I am in Vancouver. They have absolutely mastered the art of creating a fantastic variety of beers. Usually it seems a brewery will dominate at one genre and surround it with some average supporting cast members. Heathen on the other hand have range. The Transcend IPA is one of the best beers I will ever enjoy (though make sure it's crystal clear ) it is balanced and full. Their RIP porter is similarly full flavored without being heavy, very easy to session which is hard to find. The barrel aged stout is also one of my repeat favorite buys.

Food came out quick and service for both beer and food was great. Large and open outdoor space. With plenty of seating. Tables are spaced really far apart so plenty of room. Parking is tight in the paved lot but they have a gravel area behind that has plenty. I would recommend stopping by and...
