Richmond's Fuggles Beer, a spacious craft brewery since 2016, serves up uniquely weird brews in a chill, dog-friendly atmosphere perfect for summer hangs.
"Geek-chic abounds at this Richmond brewery, which vows to “keep beer weird.”Swing by the Ironwood taproom—just 1.25 miles northwest of the BC Ferries terminal—for a retro video game battle, sweetened by a Last Strawberry Wit, Czech-style Pixel Pils, or Bean Me Up Espresso Milk Stout (a collaboration with Vancouver’s Notch Coffee). Visitors can also look forward to snacks like seaweed potato chips, vegetarian samosas, and charcuterie boards, as well as non-alcoholic drinks like Sumatran dark roast coffee and an all-natural, citrus-vanilla potion from Victoria’s Phillips Soda. Launched in 2015, Fuggles & Warlock is already hugely popular in Taiwan and South Korea—and its quest has only just begun."
"This offbeat brewery lives up to its slogan of “Keeping Beer Weird,” with an unusual location in a quiet industrial park a ways away from the main Richmond action. Flights allow sampling of multiple beer types, including the Kiwami plum sour, the Last Mango (a wit beer), and Gettin’ Fizzy With It (a brut IPA). A limited food menu includes a steak and onion pie that’s made with Fuggles & Warlock’s Bean Me Up espresso stout, and there’s often a food truck parked just outside. [$]" - Jay Friedman
