About Black Kettle Brewing Company

"Good people drink good beer," reads a sign inside Black Kettle Brewing Co. Fittingly enough, the question over whether that means you drink good beer to become virtuous, or vice versa, is best debated over a cold pint at Black Kettle itself.

Inside this North Van tap room, signs of the brewery's craftmanship can be found everywhere. Brewers tend to stainless steel kettles just beyond the tables where patrons sit and sip. Some of the tap handles might bear names written in erasable ink, belying the creatively driven, often-rotating roster of beers. And into each glass goes a totally unique, handcrafted beer, such as:

• A Pale Ale brewed with pale and crystal malts plus floral and earthy hops (5.4% ABV)
• An IPA featuring citrusy and floral hops (6.4% ABV)
• A wheat ale made with coriander, citrus, and spicy hops (4.8% ABV)
