The GOODS from Maenam

Vancouver, BC | On Monday June 2nd, Maenam welcomes brewmasters and principals from Brassneck Brewery, Four Winds Brewing and Upright Brewing. For one night only, guests celebrate Craft Beer Week with a menu paired with six craft brews. A representative from each brewery pairs beers with a course by Chef Angus An, and offers insights into the process poured into each glass and growler.

Brassneck Brewery is the brainchild of the Alibi Room’s Nigel Springthorpe and ex-Steamworks brewer Conrad Gmoser. A fresh addition to Vancouver’s Main Street, Brassneck’s storefront fills to-go growlers for enjoyment at home, and offers in-store tastes and by-the-glass pours of their stouts, ales and malts.

Award-winning Four Winds Brewing focuses on innovative processes, old world techniques and West Coast, German and Belgian-style beers. The Delta-based family business houses an eight-tap tasting room pouring featured brews: IPAs, pale ales, pilsners, saisons, plus their own one-time limited releases.

Visiting from south of the border is Oregon’s Upright Brewing, specializing in French- and Belgian-style farmhouse beers. Driven by creativity and craft, Upright uses open fermentation vessels and regionally specific grains and hops, and prides itself in a no-gimmick approach, preferring to avoid overt branding in favour of allowing the brews to speak for themselves. Due to limited space, guests are encouraged to reserve early online. Menu and details after the jump…
