Craft brewery on Seaborne Avenue pouring small-batch house beers in an on-site tasting room.
A brewery is as much a workshop as a gathering place. Boardwalk Brewery operates at 2155-575 Seaborne Avenue in Port Coquitlam, a short distance from the Coquitlam River and the river-edge paths that trace the west side of the city. PoCo grew around the CPR roundhouse, and its practical, industrial streets have long suited hands-on trades like brewing. The business lists a website, which is the right place to check current hours, the tap list, and any events before setting out.
Craft breweries in this region tend to work in small batches, with a core lineup of styles and rotating releases that use up fresh hops and keep the menu interesting. The brew house itself is part of the visit for many regulars: seeing the tanks and catching a brew day in progress is something independent rooms offer that large producers cannot. Staff behind the bar can usually describe what is in each glass, from malt backbone to bitterness, and most are glad to pour small tastings so you can find your preference rather than guess. Flights are a low-commitment way to work through the range. Ask about growlers or crowlers if you want beer to take home, and whether food is served on site or welcome from outside.
The setting works in the brewery's favour. Seaborne Avenue sits close to the river and the Traboulay PoCo Trail, the roughly 25 kilometre loop that circles the city along riverbanks, dikes, and greenbelts, which makes the taproom a natural stop after a walk or a ride. Designated drivers and non-drinkers are well served in most modern taprooms, with zero-alcohol options increasingly common on the list. No phone number is included, so the website is the surest way to confirm tasting-room hours, tour availability, and whether dogs or children are welcome before you make the trip.
