The GOODS from Bitter Tasting Room

Vancouver, BC | After adding some new beer taps to their line-up and updating their savoury offerings, Bitter Tasting Room is pleased to announce the debut of their new menu, which continues to pair some of the best local and imported beers with tasty bar fare and some unbeatable specials including all you can eat taco Tuesday’s’ and $5 sleeves.

Inspired by the golden age of beer culture in Vancouver, a time before Prohibition put the breaks on brewing, and lagers, ales, and bitters flowed freely, Bitter Tasting Room embraces the craftsmanship of this age-old beverage.

An extensive beer list offers variants from some of the great brewing regions around the world by the bottle and a selection of local craft brews on draft. Of their 13 rotating beer taps, four are dedicated to Vancouver breweries to highlight the expert brewmasters at work right in our own backyard. The remaining nine showcase some of the many other West Coast breweries. The list largely represents BC, but also introduces a few standout beers from across the border.

Enjoy the diversity of the beer selection with a flight of three to seven draft choices to help you find your favourite. Or share the experience over a growler and some bar snacks. These old fashion jugs stand in for the classic pitcher and the updated food menu offers an assortment of bites to pair with your beverage.

The savoury food menu is designed to compliment the expertly crafted beverage list and the newly added dishes continue to do just that. Whether sipping a crisp pilsner, a smooth porter or a fragrant IPA, there is an item on the menu made to pair perfectly with those flavours. Some of the classic favourites are still featured, while a few new tastes spice things up. The popular Scotch Egg and Kale Caesar Salad remain, as does the Handmade Pretzel, while the new Chili Dog is loaded with hearty chilli. The Tacos are new and in high demand, served on soft corn tortillas with four options – the Chili Taco, Sea Taco, Pork Taco and Falafel Taco – offering something for every preference and the perfect beer & food paring.

And while a classic glass of beer is the Bitter beverage of choice, an assortment of spirits, two Okanogan Crush Pad wines on tap, and some unique beer cocktails complete the beverage list.

Whether sharing the dining experience with friends or meeting new ones at the bar, the debut of this new menu reaffirms that Bitter Tasting Room is a friendly space to enjoy a quality beer and a comforting bite to eat. Stop in to enjoy some of the new specials, with All You Can Eat Taco Tuesdays and $5 Sleeves of Dead Frog, $5 Sleeves of Mission Springs on Wednesdays, and Thursday’s offer up three Tacos and a Beer for $14.

About Bitter Tasting Room

At Bitter, we want you to join us on a journey to a time when Vancouver had a bustling beer culture. Before Prohibition shut down the taps, the local breweries were countless. Delicious ales, lagers and bitters poured free. A golden era in history, before the rise of the beer monopoly, when brewers made the beer they wanted to make, not the beer they had to make.
