Hearthstone Brewing now open
Hearthstone added to the North Vancouver Craft Brewery Route
All right North Van, you are pushing for the best brewery route in BC. With fantastic breweries like Bridge, Black Kettle & Deep Cove all ready on our routes you've just added a great one to the North Vancouver Craft Brewery Route.
Hearthstone Brewery Tour
Hearthstone is actually in a building that used to be the old Red Truck site a bunch of years ago. This is the perfect building for a new brewery and restaurant. With a brewer who obviously loves brewing beer, hearthstone has put out 11+ beers for their launch party. Oh and we tasted them all, just for you.
The Hearthstone Beer Lineup
Starting with one of our favorites:
Wyld Raspberry - This beer has the perfect balance between sweetness and bitter. You can even taste a tinge of sour in it. We took a growler to go and I didn't realize there was half a beer left in it 3 days later. Obviously when I went back it was a little flat but I got an idea from the Brewmaster at Off the Rail - Add a little carbonation back in to bring it to life. I added about 1/5 pillsner and it brought the beer right back to life. Big win, as this is one of my favorate beers in the Hearthstone lineup and I would have been sad to loose the bottom of my growler.
BC Beer Tip - Add a little Pilsner to your 3 day old growlers to bring beers back to life.
Graham Cracker Ale - With just the perfect amount of sweetness, this Christmas seasonal is will get you feeling like the holidays are fast approaching.
Chocolate Milk Stout - Yes you read it right - CHOCOLATE. With over 650 ratings on untapped thus far it's quickly becoming a fan favorite. We had a friend put this on tap at his startup in gas town and apparently it only lasted a couple of days. That's a great sigh.
McCool's Hazelnut Porter - It does taste as good as it sounds.
Fresh hopped English IPA - Ok, this might be done for the season but if it's back and anything like this next season grab a 4 pack of tall cans. Well worth the trip out to grab this beer.
Hearthstone Food Menu
This is the place you want to try if your a foodie. Everything from the Pizza's from the brick oven pizza to the deep fried motza balls are first in class. Our recommendation? Take a cab there and have someone pick you up with a wheel barrel on the way home. You will be stuffed and won't want to risk any driving afterwards.
