Granville Island Brewery
After lunch, I kicked off the afternoon by visiting Granville Island Brewing, which I’d first heard of in Whistler. I hied myself there in time for the 2:00 PM tour and tasting to discover that both the 2:00 and 4:00 tours were full! Argh! In fact, the taproom itself was packed, and there was nowhere to sit. The brewery itself isn’t that large, so if you plan on going, I suggest getting that early or going on a less busy day. (This is a three-day weekend here due to BC Day.) A half hour or so later, though, the tap room had emptied out a bit, and I managed to sit down at the bar with my four samples.
With the sun beating down on me in mid-afternoon, it’s time for some beer!

That’s the entire bar in the GIB taproom, though there are plenty of tables.

The beers on tap today: pale ale, lager, maple cream, and the limited release. The limited release’s name escapes me, but it had a raspberry taste to it.
