Port Moody
Ale Trail
Known locally as Brewers Row, this group of breweries along one street in Port Moody offer diverse experiences and tastes.
Back in 2014 it seemed like a quirky twist of fate when two breweries opened on the same street in this supposedly sleepy suburb. When a third brewery joined the original duo on Murray Street, folks really began to take notice. Now with five unique operations on Brewers Row, beer lovers agree that Port Moody is anything but sleepy—it’s a destination.
It will only take you five minutes to stroll Brewers Row from end to end, but of course, you’ll want to stop at each of the breweries along the way. You will find a range of approaches to brewing to suit everyone’s tastes—from beer beginners to hopheads, barrel freaks, and sour seekers. They offer some food options, and all the breweries encourage you to visit the food trucks parked out front on Murray Street.
