Company Profile

ABOUT GRANVILLE ISLAND BREWING:

Started in Vancouver in 1984, Granville Island Brewing is one of a handful of breweries at the forefront of the better beer movement known today as craft.

Our founders believed consumers deserve more real choice than the available mainstream lagers that essentially look and taste the same.

Quality and authentic styles have always been at the core of the Granville philosophy.

While the craft beer movement continues to explode around us, our philosophy has not changed.

As a leader in craft, we seek to bring in mainstream drinkers and further this craft movement with our flavourful variety of high-quality beers.

Our original small batch brewery is still on Granvil
