Canada's first modern microbrewery, founded in 1984 on Granville Island in False Creek, Vancouver. Granville Island Brewing opened when craft brewing barely existed in Canada — they were brewing German-inspired lagers and British ales in Vancouver before there was a name for it. Their island taproom remains one of Vancouver's most visited destinations.
