Hearthstone Brewery is located in North Vancouver, BC where they have been brewing up some innovative craft beers since opening in 2014. Pairing perfectly with this brewery is their “Tap & Forno” restaurant next door which not only serves their brews fresh on tap but also features some great pizzas made in a custom pizza oven. I first sit down with Darren Hollett for the story behind Hearthstone Brewery, then with brewmaster George Woods about their beers.

What if all your favorite breweries were on the same street? Well, that’s exactly what has happened in Port Moody, BC. The zoning of the municipality has created a unique situation where all the breweries are located on Murray Street. There are four breweries situated on this street, which has earned it the nickname of “Brewers Row.”
I’m focusing on two breweries in this episode and visit the remaining breweries in a future episode.
In this episode I’ll be speaking with the first brewery to open on this street, Yellow Dog Brewing with co-owner Mike Coghill.
Later I’ll walk down to the second brewery, Moody Ales and speak with co-founder Adam Crandall.

I’m in Chemainus, BC on Vancouver Island at a brewery that took over seven years to open their doors. There is a lot behind the story of Riot Brewing Co. so I spoke with two of the founders, Aly Tomlin & Ralf Rosenke.
