The GOODS from Dockside

Vancouver, BC | Dockside Restaurant is pleased to announce the return of our first brewmaster Peter Haupenthal, who is again overseeing all of Dockside’s brewing and beer making. Peter was instrumental in opening Dockside’s brewery and during the nearly 10 years he ran all brewing operations, he helped to make Dockside one of Vancouver’s favourite destinations for craft beer.

Peter began his journey in brewing 40 years ago in his hometown of Merzig, Germany and he has worked continuously in brewing since then. He served his brewing apprenticeship in Switzerland and Germany before attending the famous VLB Berlin school where he received his Master’s Diploma in Brewing and Malting.

His work has taken him across the World, brewing in places as far-flung as Nigeria, Bolivia, the Marshall Islands and Belize. Most recently, he spent three years in Cambodia where he started up and ran Kingdom Breweries, the country’s first craft brewery.

Dockside is pleased to welcome Peter back to the team. He has already begun to put his stamp on the brews including the seasonal Haupenthal Hefeweizen which bears his name and Jamaican Lager, a hibiscus-infused lager that’s become a Dockside summer favourite.

Craft beer fans get a special chance to sample Peter’s brews during Vancouver Craft Beer Week with the best deal of the year on Dockside tasting flights. From May 31th to June 8th, six-pack tasting flights will be just $9 (reg $14). This offer can be enjoyed in the lounge or on the lounge patio. Peter will also be leading weekly brewery tours at Dockside each Thursdays at 4:30pm. These are a great opportunity to learn more about Dockside’s brewing process. The tours are free and, as space is limited, reserving by emailing [email protected] is highly recommended.

About Dockside

The Dockside Restaurant offers superbly prepared classic dishes in a setting like no other. Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails. The award-winning patio catches sunlight from morning to late afternoon. Protected on three sides it’s an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek. Recent renovations have added fireplaces and casual seating areas to this Vancouver destination.

These three venues offer seating options that are perfect for groups from 4 to 200. With signature elements like a 50-foot aquarium and an open kitchen, each meal is an experience for all the senses. Located adjacent to the boutique Granville Island Hotel, the Dockside Restaurant is open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Reservations are recommended.

Reviews

“This is our very favorite place. We drive into town from Delta and make an evening of browsing through Granville Isl. Market. The restaurnat is perfect for a quiet evening.View is wonderful. I appreciate the spacious arrangement of the tables. We have our favorite table, the staff and service is fabulous. I had the herb crusted Halibut – it was delicious and my husband enjoyed the slate fish. It was a memorable evening. We look forward to another visist very soon. As well, we have enjoyed the great patio – has to be one of Vancouver’s best.” OpenTable.com

“We have going to Vancouver for many years and most recently (if twenty years can be considered recently) staying exclusively at the wonderful Graville Island Hotel. Because we have an aversion to hotel restaurants, this is the first time we have had dinner there. It was one of the finest dinners we have in a city that is known for its fine restaurants. Outstanding in every way!” OpenTable.com

“We enjoyed the welcoming feel of the restaurant – appropriate lighting, comfortable seating – it is like a comfortable dining room. We will return again as the restaurant has once again met our expectations. The salmon was nicely prepared and the lamb was well presented and excellent on the tongue. Service was well-timed and friendly, wines were affordable.” OpenTable.com
