What a fantastic area not far from Vancouver proper. Make the effort to go the extra distance along the street filled with breweries to find this hidden spot at the end. Their "happy hour" specials make this place hard to resist. Also coconut in beer? Magic read more

Do not go past this place! This place has ruined me for all other breweries with pretzel bites. I had the salted bites and each and every one tasted like bites of heaven! I wish I took a pic. My husband got street tacos and I had a kids quesadilla. And with the pretzel bites it was around 20.00. We went around 12:30 and it was so perfect ! Not busy, felt relaxed and they had water bowls for our three dogs!! This will be a MUST place to come again. On our annual Canada trip! Very very friendly and pleasant staff too!! read more

We're huge fans of Moody Ales, so we felt compelled to try the tacos. While the price of $2.50 is unbeatable, and the size and tortilla quality are great, we felt that the tacos were a bit too fancy for our taste. The abundance of extra veggies on top was a bit overwhelming, and we thought they could use just a pinch of salt. However, overall, we would still recommend trying them, especially if you're enjoying a drink on the premises. They're a great accompaniment to a beverage, and the value is hard to beat. read more

Not bad, pretty decent selection of beers. Hard to choose moody ales over the other breweries on the row on an average night, but they do have a few standout beers on occasion and a decent patio. read more

Moody Ales is the last craft brewery on the block. Their beer is nothing special. You can buy from can size all the way to Growler size. Prices are not bad. They also have boardgames that you can play while having their beer here. Nice vibes. I like the fact that there are no age restrictions at craft brewery places. read more

Moody Ales was the second brewery we checked out along Brewers Row. This one is the furthest away but still only a 5 minute walk away from the main area. They had a food truck, Russet Shack, out front that was serving loaded style potatoes. We dropped in on a Sunday afternoon (around 5:00pm). The space is huge with tons of seating inside and out. The patio was packed; a mix of picnic tables and cabin style chairs. Cool that they have a stack of board games available too. There were 10 flavours on tap (plus a cider and two wines). They also had a few snacks (Hardbite chips, BHK jerky, kettle corn and pepperoni sticks). There's a small merchandise area (hats (a pineapple one!), tees and glassware). Their 16 oz glass ($5.00) is the cheapest we've seen but it was plain. - Flight ($8.00 for 4) - we went with the ravens collab brut IPA (#8), huge citrus hazy pale ale (#10), bergamot sour kolsch (#14) and bourbon barrel aged russian imperial stout (#11) ($1.50 extra). Our favourite was the sour kolsch; refreshing, light and sour. Russian imperial stout was interesting but a sampler was more than enough. Huge citrus hazy pale ale was most similar to Twin Sails dat juice pale ale. Brut IPA was pretty standard. - Sublime pineapple hefeweizen ($6.85 for 650ml bottle) - Intrepid matcha saison ($6.85 for 650ml bottle) Again, decent beers but nothing stood out for us. The bottles we brought home are more to our beer liking. read more

Conveniently located down the street from Yellow Dog, this is a great way to clear out the craft beer scene in Port Moody. Parking is available in front, as well as in a small (public) lot across the street. The inside follows the hipster theme of "converted warehouse", which is what this establishment basically is. The establishment feels a lot more spacious than Yellow Dog, though that may be because of fewer customers. There are also a couple of picnic benches in front, which must be nice during the summer months. Staff were friendly and professional. The girl even brought my filled growler back to my table. They sell munchies here as well, such as potato chips. As they only had 5 brews available at the time, I had a paddle to knock out 4 of them (Hardy Brown Ale, Affable IPA, Smoulder Smoked Porter, and their cast Blond Ale Equinox). Unfortunately, I didn't find their beer to be very good overall. The only one I liked was the brown ale. A for effort, but the place needs a bit of work. I may be back at some point in the future, but for now, I think I'll stick to Yellow Dog. read more

We came here for the Lavender Sour after we had saw at at a local liquor store and wanted to come directly to the source. Wow! I *LOVE* sours and additionally a good floral flavor. The two combined made for the best beer I have ever had. It was truly like my two loves had come together to create a masterpiece. Don't miss out if this flavor intrigues you! read more

One if not the only brewer on Brewer's row that makes a lager. I've enjoyed all the brewers, but Moody Ales' Rocky Point lager is probably the best lager I've ever had. It's hands down our favourite, and they deliver too which was nice during the lockdown. P.s - their deliveries used to arrive same day if you ordered before 5pm, but now after the restrictions have been eased I'm not sure. Best to check. read more

The best brewery in Port Moody hands down. The pineapple hef for the win this summer. So juicy and delicious. The cute pineapple swag has me over the top happy with this place. There's a ton of parking if you're swinging in to fill a growler or you can take the train as it's super close. The staff are friendly and there is a good selection of board games to choose from too! Moody Ales has always been and will continue to be my favorite. read more

I tried their IPA and loved it - medium hoppiness goodness. Love the vibe! They have some board and card games available to play. You have to ask for Cards Against Humanity at the bar and now we know why, it was a pretty dwindled down set! All good though. This block of breweries gets pretty busy, I'd recommend going earlier. We got there around 9pm and there was about a 5-10 min wait for us. read more

Great lil brewery with a variety of craft ales and seasonal selections. The tasting room and working brewery had plenty of seats inside and a couple patio seats where folks were hanging out with their dog. I really enjoyed the festive vibe here and the saison seasonal on tap. On weekends a food truck even parks out back and we brought our food in for a great lil meal and beer tasting session. They serve pints or tasting size glasses and you can fill a growler to go. A fun way to spend the evening in Port Moody as there are a few New brewery's in the area you can walk between. read more

How fun it is to live in an up-and-coming brewing district. Moody is pretty darn solid. Their vibe is a tad more Hipster than Yellow Dog, which I leans a bit more to the family side. Come to Moody Ales on a Friday or Saturday evening if you want to hang with the cool cats. The crew is super cool. I sat and enjoyed a glass of smoked porter while waiting for my growler fill of blonde ale. The flavour was a lot of varying hoppiness that was easy to distinguish. It was nice to chat with them and learn more about their processes. Overall, their beers lean to the bitter/hoppy side. Fine for those who like it but I prefer to lean toward the malty beers. One thing I gotta say tho... is their branding is a bit of a miss. They tried to look all rustic and slapdash but it feels a little forced. To have it scrawled across their back facade in supergraphic is a bit of a mistake IMO. But maybe it will eventually just become a fabric of the community! read more

I feel like Moody doesn't get the credit it deserves because it's further away and less "mainstream". I would definitely recommend checking them out as they have some really nice beers, never disappoints. read more

Good variety of beers, at least 12. So there should be at least one that you'd like. They offer from taster glasses to refilling your growler. They have some light snacks, tshirts, and hats. Nice atmosphere. They have 3 tables and space at the bar. The downside is that they don't allow dogs inside as most breweries do. They have a patio with more tables that might be great during the summer and for the pooch. I love their labels. Clearly displaying what you got (important when you have a couple of growlers!), the day of refill, and ABV. I wish they would add IBU, keeping the education! read more

We've been going to trivia night at Moody Ales every Wednesday for the past few months, so I've had a good chance to sample the range of ales (and stouts, and lagers, and the occasional hefeweizen and saison too!). There are the stalwart brews in the lineup, like the Lusty Chocolate Stout and Chipper Blonde Ale, and always something different and fun to sample as well. It's down at the end of brewery row in PoMo, so maybe only the strong stumblers survive, but the staff are really great, and the room is divided so that you can either cosy up by the bar or sit surrounded by the giant steel brewing machinery. They've got Hardbite chips and kettle corn for snacks, but there's often a food truck outside for eats - or at least there is on Wednesdays, when we come after work for some solid trivia competition and need some sustenance because we're up against a whole roomful of smartypants. The only real drawback here is that there are only two washrooms in the place, so when it's full and everyone is drinking all those delicious beers, well, you do the math. (Pro trivia tip: always cheer for the math question.) read more

My favourite microbrewery! I really appreciate the great service from the women who work there, they always make me feel appreciated and relaxed as a customer and I somehow end of spending way more than I sought out to! The vibe is nice and unpretentious unlike some of their competitors. You don't have to be a Hipster to hang out here and enjoy their fresh quality, beer. You can get great craft beer at lots of places now thankfully, but Moody Ales goes beyond with their great attitudes and welcoming atmosphere. I will be a regular customer for the foreseeable future. Worth the drive to Port Moody! (Haven't partaken in any of the food trucks yet but some of them are very alluring.) read more

Once upon a time, Moody Ales was the only kid on the block that served up delicious brews. I used to go every week, to be enlightened by the enthusiastic bar staff, and fill up my Growlers. Things took a weird turn a few years ago, when my experience there took a dip. My toe was flattened by the steel toed boot of an stumbling off duty construction worker who was over eager to announce he was now a 'regular' to everyone within ear range - and I realize that isn't really the fault of Moody Ales... but after a few times dealing with similar negative customer scenarios, I didn't go back for a few years (until now). I find Moody Ales currently still has the best assortment of beer on 'Brewery Row', but the staff no longer seem enthusiastic - it's more like "Thanks for coming to the Far End of brewery row, we hope you'll buy some stuff". Sometimes you'll get some of the old-fashioned Moody Ales experience, but now I feel they're resigned to being part of the bigger beer gimmick down at Rocky Point. I hope they try a bit harder, because again - they truly make some of the best beer in the area. Their Collaborations are out of this world. Affable IPA has been there since the beginning, and it's still one of the best. read more

I like the outdoor area and the it's a beautiful place close to the water. We tried 8 beers and none of them were amazing. They were all ok but nothing stuck out. The staff were really sweet though and it's nice to have two other breweries in walking distance. I just wish the beer was better. :( read more

Moody is the perfect name for the service provided. Coming from Kamloops and no appreciation for customer service but felt more of a inconvenience to have stopped for a beer. read more

Have bee frequenting to this place for years! It is an amazing place; great environment with amazing beer that is always worth sitting down for a beer or two! It is the place around the corner that everyone always dreamt of in their alcohol induced haze! All in all I do enjoy this place and would recommend anyone looking for a good pint to try. It is quaint and not a lot of build up in terms of hipster clique. Stay thirsty my friends... read more

This is such a great hang spot for trying some local craft beers. This whole area has a great vibe with 4 different new-ish breweries. For theirs beers, there are 12 different kinds and they are decent. I will definitely come back in the future. read more

Moody Ales - 2 flights - Breweries Near Me - Port Moody, British Columbia

Maybe I love everything easily, but I am also a fan of the beers here too. Maybe it's the water in Port Moody. Same industrial vibe inside, but maybe slightly more sterile than Yellow Dog? Whatever, lots of seats inside and several picnic tables outside for the sun lovers. No umbrellas though so bring your sunscreen. They have some snacks at this joint, which I am happy about. Side note: the bathroom is the size of my apartment. Now you know. read more

Well, the new kid on the Port Moody brewing scene (of 2, so far...) is a lovely place to stop in for a drink and a growler fill. Expect it to be busy at any time on a weekend, as it has already gotten quite popular, and for good reason. The beers on tap are quite decent; I especially enjoy their IPA and am looking forward to trying the stout they've recently released. The taproom itself is a pretty cool industrial space. The bar has a fair bit of room to sit at, as well as a couple of long high-tops but seats are quite often at a premium. They are always quick to take orders and finish fills and the staff are super friendly and try to remember the returning customers by name. I really love the decal on the west wall that highlights the brewing process from start to finish. It's a neat art piece and also informational! Also, on weekend evenings they generally have a food truck in the back lot and you can walk through the brewery to grab some food to accompany your beer. Full disclosure, their marketing guy is the younger brother of a friend from elementary school, but I would be happy to visit even without the personal connection. read more

Great location and beer selection. Had a chocolate porter and bourbon barreled stout and both were smooth and delicious, Nice patio and food trucks nearby. read more

This is the first or the last brewery along the brewery row. Max capacity is around 70ish inside and 30ish outside so it gets packed quick but people come and go. They offer 8 or more brews on tap besides that they also have cider and wine if you're more into that. Chips, popcorn and non alcoholic drinks are also available. It is clean and spacious. Staff are super friendly. We drank a decent variety of beers and they had cards against humanity. Solid. read more

Nice selection of beer but they seriously need to look at their process flow and order delivery methods. Everyone just crams into a small area at the end of the counter and waits 10-15 min just to get a pint. They need to look at how busy professional pubs operate in the U.K. Maybe pre poor high turn over beer or prioritize pint over flights. Or pre poor popular flight choices. It's a really unpleasant experience standing shoulder to shoulder getting jostled in the heat waiting way too long for a beer. read more

Beers are pretty good, swag is nice. Bartender wouldn't let me start a tab because I only had visa/debit on me tho , bush. Went back after 3 years on weekend and beers, deck and spot isn't too shabby read more

My and my fiance stopped here one evening. It's a neat place, fun and got quite busy. We seemed to be the "invisible" couple though, despite our best efforts getting refills or service was a quite difficult. We were sitting at the bar area but larger groups of mostly men seemed to be given priority, it was a little off putting and we eneded up settling the bill much earlier than anticipated. The beers are great and it seems to be quite a popular spot. read more

Overall a great brewery and one of my top choices in Vancouver. My personal favourites were the Hardy Brown Ale and Nitro Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. Have a try of those if they have them on the board, but they have a large selection all the time so you should be able to find something just for you. The beer stills, bar, tables and bathroom were very clean. Staff were friendly as well. There are a couple other breweries down the street as well, so you can make a night out of it with good friends and an assortment of great flavours. Or you can drop in and get your growlers filled. Efficient, thoughtful service. Be sure to make a visit to this brewery! read more

Vienna lager all the way. Favourite brewery as their beers are the best tasting of all four on brewers row. They have a great selection of games to play as well. The indoor seating is a bit limited but we almost always (including all our friends) pick up a growler from them. They have quiz nights on Wednesday's. read more

Neat place, just down the road from Yellow Dog. Gets packed in summer, so plan on queuing a long time if you get there late in the evening on a sunny summers day. You can get the little taster flights that all the craft breweries do - it's kind of like being a beer scientist, sampling each little test-tube like sampler and pretending to taste the subtle nuances between one high strength brew and another. :) Has some good tunes playing and long tables full of other people to people watch!! read more

I love their IPA! Great atmosphere, always busy so I always get in early. Close to all other breweries in Port Moody. There's a sky train close by so it's very convenient to get there. Nice place. I've seen people bring their kids there too, whatever floats your boat. If you get hungry there's food trucks just outside! They have small snacks inside as well. I always get a growler to go. Great customer service, always friendly. I've bought s lot of gift cards there. I'll be back. read more

In June 2014 Moody Ales started to build their brewery. On October 16th 2014 they opened their doors to the public for the first time! When you walk through the front door of brewery you will find a beautiful tasting room. Wood topped bars and wood topped tables are quite stunning. A chalk board displays the beer that is currently on tap. They have custom growler fillers that use CO2 to fill with counter pressure. I love the touch they have added with a brewing process display on the one wall that shows the entire brewing process. The brewery itself is small but has a ton of room for expansion. They have a small barrel aging program that I am sure will grow with time also. If you made it out to the grand opening they had a small amount of a test batch of barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout that was to die for! This brewery is already showing it can create some tasty brews but I think they are only breaking the surface of what their creativity can bring. Their test batches are proof of this! So head over to the brewery as soon as possible! Just a note that parking is found in behind the brewery but you have to enter the brewery at the front of the building. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised by the selection and the quality at this small brewery. The tasting room was trendy in design but welcoming and has a fun vibe. The range of beers was excellent but beyond that, the majority of them were very drinkable and balanced. If you pigeonhole yourself to one type of beer this is the place to try something else! I really enjoyed everything I tried, and give a special shout out to the BC fresh hopped red ale, the Affable IPA, and the Hardy Brown Ale. Definitely try the matcha saison if it's around - it is subtle and refreshing. Will be back with more people! read more

Solid pub at the end of the street. Either start here or end here for your brewery row pub crawl. All the beers I had here were great. Special mention to the russian imperial bourbon stout, delicious, sweet, and hardy. The patio is great in the evening sun, or slip inside for a seat at the bar. Good times. read more

Great beer! Great atmosphere! The only thing is maybe not play the entire Great B Sea library?

My fav brewery on the PoMo strip, love the beers love the staff love the place Hanging on the deck is the best plus they always have the best food trucks Basically my fav weekend weekday or anytime hang out Brown ale is always my fav but they do lots of specialty cools beers too They're my first and last stop on PoMo brewery crawls :D :D :D read more
