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.
Day 1
Great coffee and morning pastries. Grab a Divano Breakfast Panini or a breakfast wrap and head over to the park to walk along Shoreline Trail.
When you finish your walk along Shoreline Trail, you'll arrive at Rocky Point Park – home to Rocky Point Kayak. Hourly, daily, or weekly rentals, of kayaks, canoes and stand up paddleboards. Find an abundance of bird and wildlife just a short paddle from shore.

As the westernmost brewery on the beer relay known as Brewers Row, Moody Ales represents either the starting block or the finish line.
When you're ready for an afternoon snack, head across the street from Brewer's Row to Rocky Point Ice Cream. Hand-crafted since 1997 using time-honoured techniques, their ice cream is made from scratch in-house. Vegan-friendly options are available.
Parkside has a welcoming tasting room with food trucks often parked out front.
