The GOODS from Dockside

Vancouver, BC | With the arrival of its first shipment of refillable “Growler” bottles, Dockside Restaurant & Brewing Company in the Granville Island Hotel is pleased to join the Growler revolution that’s taking place all across BC.

Starting immediately, craft beer lovers will be able to take Dockside’s signature brews home with them in one of two different reusable and resealable 2L bottles. The two style of bottle on offer are the classic ”Brown Jug” Growler with a twist-off top and a Deluxe Growler with a mechanical swing-top closure.

The Brown Jug Growlers will be sold for $10 and Swingtop Growlers for $20 and entitle the buyer to a discounted first fill for $10. Subsequent fills and fills for craft beer fans who want to bring their own Growler in will be available for the regular price of $14.

“We’ve been talking about Growlers for some time and we’re really excited to be launching them,” said Eugene Vassilev, Director of Food & Beverage Operations. “We’re proud of our brewing program and think it’s high time that our fans are able to take home signature brews like our Jamaican Lager, Railspur IPA and Johnson St. Pilsner to enjoy at home.”

Dockside Restaurant & Brewing Company recently welcomed Brewmaster Peter Haupenthal, who opened up the brewery over 10 years ago, back to oversee all brewing operations again. All his beers, including his signature Haupenthal Hefeweizen, are now pouring at Dockside. Dockside Growlers will also be available at Coal Harbour Liquor Store complete with a coupon for the first fill when they’re brought down to Dockside.

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
