About Northpaw Brewing
Craft brewery in Port Coquitlam's Glenwood neighborhood, part of the wave of local breweries that has spread across Metro Vancouver.
Over the past decade, craft brewing has spread across Metro Vancouver until nearly every city in the region has at least one brewery of its own. Port Coquitlam is no exception. Northpaw Brewing operates within the city, listed in the directory under breweries and distilleries, though it carries the postcode V3B 0J6 rather than a street address. Breweries tend to settle into the industrial corners of a city, and Port Coquitlam has its share.
What a brewery does day to day is part craft and part routine. Grain is mashed, wort is boiled, hops go in on a schedule measured in minutes, and fermentation does the slow work that turns those ingredients into beer. Many breweries in British Columbia pair that production side with a tasting room or lounge, a space where visitors can sample what is being made and buy a growler or a few cans to take away. Whether and how Northpaw Brewing opens its doors to the public is a question for the company directly, since arrangements vary widely from one brewery to the next.
For anyone planning a visit, the missing street address is the first thing to resolve. Brewery locations in the region range from industrial units to converted workshops, and hours can be narrow, sometimes only a few evenings a week plus a weekend afternoon. Confirming the address, the opening times and whether there is a tasting room worth the trip is the sensible order of operations.
Port Coquitlam makes an easy base for that kind of outing. The city sits between the Coquitlam and Pitt rivers, a short hop from Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows by Lougheed Highway or the Mary Hill Bypass. A brewery visit pairs naturally with a walk on the Traboulay PoCo Trail or an errand downtown, once the details are confirmed. Northpaw Brewing adds one more reason to spend an afternoon on this side of the map.
