Vancouverites love Stanley Park—it’s where we have
picnics, play tennis and walk our dogs. It’s also where
Stanley Park Brewing’s original brewery was located,
way back in 1897. Over a century later, the hops-and-
malt experts are still producing bold beers inspired by
the park’s history. Try the Windstorm West Coast Pale
Ale, a rebellious brew named for the wild storms that
ravaged the park in 2006, or the SunSetter Summer
Ale, bursting with peachy memories of sun-soaked eve-
nings on the seawall. At local liquor stores (page 36).
