2 minutes away, Brothers Cascadia Brewery is a hidden gem. Just go try their burgers, fries, beers and you will get what I mean. Consistently great food, top notch service, no matter the day or time. Honestly, just make the simple decision to keep your hard earned money and skip Goon Burger / Irrelevant Beer. This "goon" burger only qualifies as a burger in some chaotic South Park fantasy. It looks like they really dropped it on the floor and called it a concept. The fries? Sad, soggy, barely seasoned, and completely forgettable. Now the best part: the hipster staff at both places. They take themselves very seriously. One of their newer employees, clearly aiming for Employee of the Month, decided to stop me while I was literally grabbing my food and leaving, just to tell me, in a smug tone, that next time I can't bring my dog. The funny part. I was already outside waited for my food away from patrons, then I grabbed my food, and was leaving right away. What exactly was the problem? Did my calm, happy dog disrupt the sacred burger experience? I laughed and said we'll see about that. You don't just randomly enforce a rule like that and talk to customers like that. I've been there plenty of times before with no issue. But apparently, after a very important team meeting about dogs they had just yesterday, they have decided that, even "pickup customers" can't have their dogs with them. Mate, you could have just said "hey, can you tie him outside next time?" Easy. Human. Instead, you went full authority mode over a mid burger spot. I won't be going back, not because I will miss anything, but because of that attitude. When people blindly follow rules without basic common sense, it just gets sad. Anyway once again, Brothers Cascadia Brewery. Two minute drive, ten minute walk. Just go. read more

I have delved into Irrelevant Beer a few times at this point and each experience was solid to exceptional. Over the course of our experiences we have had eight different beers at this point and time and we have enjoyed them all very much! There is a neighboring coffee shop that is actually right next door called Relevant Coffee and I imagine it's the same owners doing both coffee and beer at two different locations. I bought a coffee bag of Relevant Coffee for us to enjoy at home and it was quite good! You can buy coffee bags at the brewery also which is where I bought mine. And now onto the beer! As I said currently I have had eight different beers and I will go into detail as to what I thought about each one I had. 1) Living Eulogy is a Bock beer which was something I don't normally am able to get a hold of so getting one was definitely a priority. In this flavor profile you can detect notes of chocolate, coffee, sweetness and creaminess. It is also a fairly thick beer. 2) The Pocket Symphony is an American style IPA and was nice and refreshing with it's melony, hoppy, fruity and crisp flavor characteristics. I considered this beer to be very, very solid. 3) A favorite of mine was the Sundressed and I rated quite high on Untappd. This was a Witbier which I do love getting. These wheat based beers are so tasty even though sometimes the gluten comes back and may bite me later. the flavor of these beers are so blissful which is why it's one of my favorites. Flavors to have fun finding in the flavor profile are maltiness, citrus and coriander. This beer goes down nice and smooth! 4) Inner Song is another IPA I had. This time out it was a black IPA or a Cascadian Black Ale as some call it. I do love these kinds of beers! At first in our brewery adventures this IPA type was kind of hard to find but they seem to be a bit more common now. The flavors in this beer are malty, roasty, floral and some notes of coffee. This beer is also very aromatic. 5) Dark Ambient was another beer we delved into... this time a Vienna Lager. A type of lager that Steve and I both like quite a bit. Perhaps not our most favorite lager type but that didn't hold me back in giving this beer a very high rating on Untappd and it becoming one of my favorites. Flavors to enjoy in this beer are caramel, toastiness, herbal aspects, some fruitiness along with a dry finish. 6) The Relative Strangers lager was another lager we thought very highly of... seems like a trend here with this brewery and being very, very fond of their lagers. Well, it's completely justifiable as the lagers from Irrelevant are great! In this beer flavor features to enjoy are coffee, caramel, roasty, malty and coffee. 7) Mediocre Love is an IPA we had at one point from our beer experiences here. It's a good, solid IPA and is very refreshing! Look for fruitiness and a presence of peach. 8) The final beer was the Shrimp Fried Rice. This was another IPA of the New England sort and was very nice and refreshing. Flavors to partake in this flavor profile are juicy, tropical and some sweetness. The beer is smooth and soft in body. I realize describing some of the flavor features in all these beers there is quite a few of the same flavor elements in the beer... like coffee or roastiness but despite those flavor characteristics being in more than one beer you can certainly tell the difference between those that do share common characteristics so don't think that finding one element of flavor in one beer over another is going to blur together as to what beer you are drinking and if you can distinguish the difference... you certainly can! read more

Irrelevant was really good! We came in and ordered at the bar. It was a cold, rainy day so everyone was sitting inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was a lack of seating, so it took a while for us to get a table for the 4 of us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There was a great selection of beers, and a couple of tasty ciders. The service was awesome! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, great drinks, so on a warm day for ample seating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Time to up them a star! We've visited them a few times now and they recently moved around the corner for an upgrade to their taproom. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior decor is sleek & snazzy, with lots of natural light, and plenty of seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also now have food provided by Goon Burger (you order food at the Goon Burger window on the back wall). The staff at the bar were all really friendly when we visited the new spot. They have a solid variety of their beers on tap along with other beverage options, so there's something for everyone. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great beer selection, friendly staff and the new space is really lovely[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Goonburgers are a smash burger that defines the term, FLAT AND CRISPY...I never get double meat but I would here just because the patties are so good. Also Crispy string fries.. read more

An IPA-heavy spot perfect for IPA lovers like myself. I enjoyed the beer here quite a bit--not mind-blowing, but definitely good. The real star, though, was the smash burger! A little messy, but so worth it for the flavor. They don't offer flights, but they do have 4 oz pours. This was our first time in the downtown Vancouver area, and this is definitely a place I'd come back to. To top it all off, the beertender was incredibly nice and friendly. read more
