Our Beer Wonderfully Crafted
Pale Ale
Years ago, the battle against big beer began with well hopped, North West style pale ales. This beer is still out there, fighting the good fight. Powered by a hefty dose of classic ‘C’ hops, the grapefruit citrus, floral lemon, and bright pine are backed up by just enough malt to keep it drinkable and balanced. It’s undeniably classic and decades later remains a go to style for millions of craft fans.

Pilsner
There is nothing more satisfying than an expertly crafted pilsner. The convergence of light bready malt, continental noble hops, and subtle yet expressive yeast transform four simple ingredients into something truly remarkable. With so little to hide behind, the quality of the raw materials and the technique of the brewer are front and center in this beer. The simplicity of the final product belies its fastidious creation. Pilsner is versatile; it has enough oomph that it can be paired with a decadent meal, but its simple enough you can reach for one at the beach.

Lions Gate Lager
Craft brewing tends to overcomplicate things – often with delicious results. But in a world of triple dry hopping and lactose laden kettle sours, sometimes it’s nice to have something simple and straight forward. Our Lions Gate Lager is exactly that: uncomplicated. Made from premium PNW malt and European hops, it is fermented cold, and aged even colder. This one is sure to satisfy macro lovers and craft fans alike.

Flagship Hazy IPA
This award-winning hazy IPA was one of the first of its kind to be released in the BC market. Since then, the style has exploded and grown with a ferocity never seen in craft before. Across the country and back, the super fluctuations of these beers are a force to be reckoned with.
To keep up with the haze craze, the following changes have been made since its initial release: none. Why mess with a good thing? The hops are still big, tropical, and pungent. The malt is still a pillowy cloud of delicate sweetness. It’s a tried-and-true staple, our biggest brand, a perennial favourite, and worthy of the name Flagship.

Heroica Red Ale
When folks get off shift at Steamworks, more than any other beer, Heroica is the go-to. It’s the perfect balance of enticing hop character, drinkability, and malt – yeah, malt. Remember that ingredient? The red headed stepchild of brewing – and it comes out swinging in this beer. Biscuity sweetness, caramelized fruit, and the slightest hint of roast make for a compelling colour and an even more compelling pint. It’s a full flavoured ale that says “I’m Malty and I’m proud!”. Oh yeah, and there’s some nice hops in it.

Hazy Pale Ale
The haze isn’t just a craze, it’s here to stay…ze. This sessionable Hazy Pale is designed to show off the unique profile of several New Zealand hops. Big, bright flavours and aromas of lychee, gooseberry, Sauvignon Blanc, and stone fruit are backed up by a simple, multi-grain malt bill. It’s hazy, it’s pillowy, it’s delightfully fruity, and deliciously drinkable.

Kölsch Lagered Ale
Kölsch Lagered Ale is a simple beer made in a hybrid style: fermented like an ale and conditioned like a lager. Giving it a long, cold rest allows the flavours to meld and for it to mellow into a beautifully crisp beer. The light citrusy esters and fresh, bready character make it eminently drinkable. It may be the lightest beer in the Steamworks lineup, but it’s no slouch in the flavour department.

North By Northwest IPA
Remember when hoppy beers were clear? When a high number of IBUs was something to get excited about? This IPA sure does. This beer is a curmudgeon in all the right ways. Unabashedly classic with more dankness than fruitiness, more clarity than haze, and more IBUs than most. It fits perfectly in all the cliches: this is your dad’s IPA; 2010 called – it wants its beer back; it’s the old dog that absolutely refuses to learn any new tricks.

Nitro Stout
A cascading stout is one of the most mesmerizing things out there. The ripples of nitrogen flowing slowly up the dark liquid and condensing into a thick foam. It’s so nice that it’s almost a shame to drink it – almost. The creamy texture combined with the inviting roasty flavours make for a unique and compelling beer. When pouring, invert the can a couple times and then pour it hard, directly down into your favourite pint glass. For finer bubbles, keep the can as close to the rising liquid level as possible.

Black Angel IPA
Black IPA? Still? Really? Absolutely! This style is part of the foundation upon which the West Coast craft movement was built. It is everything those pale macro lagers aren’t: dark, strong, and hoppy as all get out.
This beer is a nostalgia bomb for when you didn’t have to think about craft, micro, macro-craft, craft collectives, or anything like that. It is the spirit of the rebellion against yellow fizz distilled down into a big, no holds barred hop bomb. Piney, resinous hops punch through the dark malt and give way to a crisp, toasty finish.

John Oliver Lager
Under Premier John Oliver’s leadership, Prohibition in British Columbia was repealed in 1921. To commemorate the man who helped responsibly bring liquor back to our province, Steamworks has created a commemorative lager. As Premier Oliver himself would say, “doff your broadcloth and don your overalls” and enjoy some fine John Oliver Lager. Cheers to another 100 years of beer in BC!
