    I come here for beers and for brunch Cute spot to go on dates or with a group of friends. Love their patio in the summers because it's so casually tucked away from the busy streets of broadway. Big fan of their beers. Brunch will have limited options but it hits the spot. Might be a good gem if you're looking for a place on a busy weekend

    Flight of four for $9!

    BEER NERDS, WE HAVE FOUND THE MOTHERSHIP. Yoooooo, I had no idea Vancouver had a beer scene!! I don't think there's anything like 33 brewing experiment elsewhere...at least not in the States. You know it's brew-nerd-run when "test brews" are being marketed and promoted. I'm actually surprised the demand isn't higher. If this was in another big city filled with brew nerds, they'd definitely have difficulty meeting the high demand. I found out about this place after doing some research. We only had time to visit one or two breweries during our short time in Vancity, and this minimalist and clean/clear-cut vibes brewery stood out. Both of us were glad we came. I went with a flight of four for $9. YUP, nine humble Canadian dollars! It doesn't beat that. Sure, the seating inside is limited...and it feels like you're in a showroom in a curated living room of a house that's on sale. BUT it's got those muted, eggshell and stone grey palettes that millennials love. I was stoked about their menu. I had no idea what to pick because everything sounded delicious. PLENTY of hazy IPA's await you, but there are also unique picks like a rice lager, berry sour, berliner! I loved all of the beers, but the Fluffy Cloud IPA takes the medal. It was the perfect amount of juice, mouthfeel and summer-y flavor. The gents working behind the tap are super friendly and very kind. I love that their restrooms are clean and wifi is strong. There's plenty of street parking that's free after 6pm! 100% will be back.

    Had the samplers, beers were good. Food was snack food so good for what it was. Service is fine, order at the counter. Chill vibe as usual.

    Nirvana and mezcal

    We enjoyed Nirvana IPA and a lemony mezcal beer at 33 Acres outdoor picnic tables. We bought the beers at the counter and carried them out ourselves. Afterwards, we bought a mezcal 6-pack. I was surprised I liked the mezcal beer, but it didn't taste like mezcal.

    We kicked off a beer crawl here and wanted to go to a brewery with good food to get brunch in our stomachs. This was a great decision, and everyone who'd been here before (and often, because a lot of them had worked nearby!) agreed. Their food is incredibly reasonably price too. The space is bright and quite Instagram-worthy with white walls and a big tub full of growing cacti. The food was probably the best quality brunch I've had in Vancouver, and the beer was loved by all (they even make a cider for non-beer-lovers like me!). THE WAIT: About 3/4 full when we arrived at noon on a Saturday. It only got more and more crowded by the time we left around 3pm; people were waiting for seats by then! But the turnover is high so I don't think people had to wait long. The line at the counter comes and goes in waves throughout. THE SERVICE: Friendly, and your food/drink comes out fast. THE FOOD: * Avocado Smash ($10) - 4.5 stars Delicious, as many agreed, the best avocado toast in town. The avocado was perfectly ripe, and the fresh ingredients on top were perfect. The edges of the toast were a bit too crispy for my taste, but I still enjoyed this overall. * Poached Eggs & Toast ($10) - 4 stars A simple recipe, but the ingredients and cooking were of superb quality. * Side of potatoes - 2 stars I saw someone else order this and thought it looked delicious, but looks can be deceiving. While these had an excellent crisp, they were disappointingly dry and starchy on the inside.

    Nice "chill" to 33 Acres. Their Sunshine beer it a good compliment to the vibe. Had a deli sandwich which was very tasty. With coffee as an option it is a great neighborhood spot.

    Looks like 33 Acres has now expanded. This location is right next door to the original brewery, and serves their latest test batches. Parking is available on the side streets. The interior has some couches, as well as a corner with "steps" and cushions. To be honest, there aren't enough seats in here. The place is jam packed with hipsters. Staff were friendly. As everything is experimental, I imagine most of the batches are limited time only, until they tweak the recipe. To be honest the beers here weren't that good. Maybe I just got unlucky. Flights here are noticeable more expensive than the competition, at some $11 a flight. Yikes. Something to keep in mind. Overall it's a neat idea, but I think I'll stick to the non experimental side.

    Our second brewery stop for the afternoon was at 33 Brewing Experiment. It's been awhile since I've been to 33 Acres and noticed they have a whole new space next door that specializes in their experimental flavours. Heck, they even have their own pizza food truck outside. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 4:30pm) and the place was bumping. There's multiple tables but in one corner, they have the oddest tiered/layered seating I've ever seen. It's completely cramped and uncomfortable but people sat there anyways. There was 15 beers on tap along with a house cider. I was surprised to see they've started to make their own cider. Their merchandise is cool but easily the most EXPENSIVE I've seen at a brewery. $60.00 for hats and $95.00 for a crewneck sweater?!? Whose buying these? - 3x Flights ($12.00) - we went with the orange oat pale ale, cranberry session saison, Brett pale ale with apricot and cider. None of these were good. All the experimental beers had so little flavour; I can't comprehend how bland and unflavourful they were. The cider was okay but it's dry and again I found little flavour. My friend's flight had a pacific hazy pale ale (the lightest hazy I've tasted), Belgian table biere (meh) and sea salt IPA. The group felt the same way and no one really enjoyed their beers. I can't even say what one buddy's true feelings were on them. Honestly, I've never understood the hype on 33 Acres and their experimental room has confirmed my feelings on them. Not my type of beer.

    Awesome place for beer in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. They have a patio with a decent amount of seating given the current covid restrictions. We came here on a Sunday afternoon, had 3 groups ahead of us, and still were seated within 30 minutes so there is a quick turnaround time. I am a big fan of 33 Acres Brewing especially given the fact that they have a lot of experiments on tap that rotate often. People are friendly, good food, even better beer which means we will definitely be back!

    Bircher $7 it's teeny tiny but filling

    Been here a bunch of times for brunch and once in the evening. Pros: - abundance of beer options - brunch - beautiful presentation - plenty of parking on the streets (free!) - can sit forever Cons: - lack of seating during peak times and then you're awkwardly standing w your beer/food and staring at the seated ppl w envy - pricier side for food as there are other avo toast and waffle options close by too (pros of mt. Pleasant)

    Bartender - 5 stars Beer - 4 stars…read moreFood - didn't try Ambiance - 4 stars - average noise Nice place to hang out. Enjoyed chatting g with the bartender.

    The food and atmosphere here are excellent, but be cautious of the wait staff…read more My friend and I initially planned to order one beer each with our meal. Our server suggested that, because it was happy hour, a pitcher would be cheaper and save us money. I specifically asked how many ounces the pitcher was and was told 32 oz, which sounded reasonable since we planned to get 15 oz beers. When the pitcher arrived, it was clearly 64 oz. The server apologized for the mistake, and I let it go, thinking we didn't have to drink it all. However, when the bill arrived, the price didn't match the quote. We were charged $25, not the $20 we were originally told when the 64-oz pitcher showed up, with the explanation that the regular price was $35 and that we had "saved" money. In the end, we were served twice the beer we wanted and paid twice what we intended, based on information that kept changing. Whether this was incompetence or intentional, it left me feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. The food and atmosphere really were great -- but the experience was overshadowed by feeling manipulated. Enjoy the food and beer, but pay close attention to what the wait staff tells you and what ends up on the bill.
