R&B Brewing Wins 2021 BC Ale Trail Best Brewery Experience Award.

It’s a tale of triumph when an old dog learns new tricks and is recognized as a leader of the pack. R&B Brewing — a Vancouver craft beer pioneer — was nearly left behind by the craft beer evolution and explosion in the 2010s, but investment from a fellow brewery opened the doors to one of the funkiest and friendliest tasting rooms in the Lower Mainland. Today, 24 years after releasing its first beer, R&B has earned the BC Ale Trail’s 4th Annual Best Brewery Experience Award.

R&B Brewing—with its proud moniker, “East Van Original” — was established in 1997. Its East 4th Street location is in Vancouver’s historic brewery district, Brewery Creek. This district is largely centered within the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, Vancouver’s first suburb — southeast of the downtown core.

This neighbourhood was the site of a short-lived brewing industry in the late 19th century. Mount Pleasant was transforming from wilderness into a residential and industrial hub, with water from Brewery Creek — one of many fresh streams flowing through the area — harvested for business use, including the brewing of beer. With overuse, the creek began to shrink, eventually disappearing from public view in the 1920s. Partly, this was due to urban development paving over waterways, but the breweries in the area slowly shuttered their doors following multiple amalgamations and the introduction of Prohibition. No creek, no breweries, no need to honour the name — at least for another 70 years.
