About Beers Community Visit Shop
Mount Pleasant, Vancouver · Est. 2013

Where the neighborhood comes to think.

Espresso at 10. Beer at 5. Conversation the whole time. A family-owned brewery and gathering space in the heart of Mount Pleasant.

The binding elements of life.

33 Acres was born from one belief: the best things happen when people share space, drinks, and ideas. We're influenced by the forests and Pacific that surround us, fueled by creative thinking, driven to make the highest quality product.

We've been doing this since 2013 and the formula hasn't changed because it doesn't need to.

Opening day, Josh's dad Brian looked around and said, "So I guess we can take the paper off the windows now?" They ripped it down. The room filled in minutes.

What people are saying.

"By far my favourite local brewery. Many other good ones but nothing quite like 33. Lived about a 12 minute walk away for years."
