Brave Brewing Co. is a neighbourhood brewery in Port Moody known for bold, flavour-forward beers and a lively tasting room. Since opening their doors in 2016, they have built a reputation for hop-forward IPAs and creative limited releases, all brewed on a 10-hectolitre system in a 3,000-square-foot production space just steps from the waterfront. They’re the kind of local brewery you tell a friend about when you want something fresh and interesting.

Their core range covers reliable favourites like the Brave IPA and a sessionable West Coast Pale, plus a rotating slate of small-batch beers under names you’ll remember, such as the Barrel Aged Stout Series and the seasonal Fruit Sour program. They also bottle and can select releases, run regular taproom-only drops, and host collaborative brews with nearby breweries and chefs. Expect clear labelling, ABV and IBU information on site, and beer flights that let you try four 4-ounce pours for tasting variety.

Brave’s approach is hands-on and transparent. The brewing team includes certified brew technicians and a head brewer with 12 years of local experience, who often leads public brewery tours and monthly “meet the brewer” nights. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, happy to explain hop profiles, brewing techniques, or which beers pair best with the scratch kitchen snacks. The taproom layout is casual and bright, seating for roughly 60 people inside, plus patio seating in summer, making it easy to pop in for a quick pint or stay for a long catch-up.

Port Moody locals choose Brave Brewing for consistent quality, thoughtful seasonal experimentation, and a real sense of community. They host charity nights, sponsor local events, and stock their beers at several nearby restaurants and retailers, so supporting Brave feels like supporting your neighbourhood. Phone 604-492-4905.
