In 1995, when we first took hold of our historic Gastown brewpub location, we discovered that the building had a rare steam heat system. A remnant from forward thinkers of a century past.
Our brewmaster had only read of steam powered brewing, but had never seen a functional steam brewery. These are very rare indeed. We ventured forth, experimented, and created a one-of-a-kind steam generated brewery. The only one in Canada.
To our pleasure, we found our test brews to be distinctively fresh and flavourful.
For nearly 20 years, beer aficionados have been migrating to our Steamworks brewpub for a taste of these unconventional beers. Now, with the advent of our bottled beers, you can take the brewpub experience home with you.
“Thank you again for everything! We were super impressed with everyone involved. You are so welcome for the card and our gift of gratitude! You truly deserve it. We also wish you all the best for the future! “
"Sherry and I had a wonderful time last night. The food was excellent, very tasty, nice proportions and very nicely prepared. The beer was excellent, especially the first glass which came from a cask. We were seated with a couple who was a real beer person. He knew all about cask beers and micro breweries and we got a real education on types of beers and events like Steamworks put on. They were really great people. We were very surprised at the number of people at the event. We were also extremely surprised at how busy Steamworks was on a Wednesday night." Gary Sutherland
Our lion’s Gate® lager has a light body, a very crisp palate and a soft, hop finish, imparted by the exquisitely gentle Czech saaz hop variety. The lions would approve.
This ale’s golden amber colour only hints at its full-bodied flavour. Its sumptuous maltiness is tempered by a goodly amount of bitterness and a mouth-filling hop flavour. In order to finish our I.P.A. with a truly fresh hop bouquet, we dry hop this ale in the conditioning tank with both East Kent Goldings and Mount Hood hops.
This northwest style pale ale is a confident beer with citrusy character,balanced with layers of malty goodness.
An homage to the original Pilsners of the Czech Republic. This full bodied beer has a spicy, herbal finish with hints of lemon. Prosst!
*Awarded Best BC Craft Beer by BC Craft Beer Awards 2011 & 2012!
This German style lagered ale uses German malts and is dryhopped for a full, bready malt body and a floral, slighty fruity nose. Authentic kölsch yeast and extended maturation time in our cellar gives this unfiltered, quaffable beer a clean, lager like finish.
Our new Flagship IPA is generously hopped with a trio of Southern-Hemisphere hops: Mosaic, Galaxy & Citra. It pours with a cloudy glow and an intense juicy, tropical fruit aroma and flavour giving way to a balanced bitterness. Our meticulously crafted Flagship IPA is an unfiltered and unique steam-brew, 4 years in the making and truly worth the wait.
Curl up closer to the steam pipes, and warm up to the festive season. This Winter Ale is an ode to Belgian Tripel. It shows apple, and citrus aromas, along with a toasted malt character.
A malty spiced ale brewed with pumpkin pie spices & 100 lbs of local pumpkin mash. Our most popular seasonal ale. Winner of a Gold Medal (Fruit Beer) at the 2013 Canadian Brewing Awards.

“It was exceptional! The staff was outstanding, the food was outstanding (quality, timing of it all, and quantity was perfect for group size), and the space was beautiful. We heard many great comments through the evening and next day. Thank you for everything.”
“It was perfect. We will be writing you guys a letter about that soon. The venue, the food, the staff... all above our expectations.”
“I wanted to thank you earlier but have been in Seattle with Cindy's parents. The wedding went better than we could have imagined and many guests said that it was one of, if not the most enjoyable weddings they had ever been to. Thanks for all the work you did in such little time; the rooms looked great and everything transpired without a hitch. The food and service were both excellent as well. Thank Mike and the service staff for us. It was a fantastic night that we will never forget. “
