VANCOUVER, BC – The Georgia Straight reports that Squamish-based brewpub and brewery Howe Sound Brewing is set to open a second location in Vancouver, although no brewing will be taking place on site.
Devil’s Elbow Ale & Whiskey House – named after after Howe Sound’s Devil’s Elbow India Pale Ale – will be located at 562 Beatty St., the address currently occupied by Belgian restaurant Chambar which is closing next weekend and moving down the block.
Trevor Magee, vice president and general manager and Howe Sound, gave the Straight a few details about the new venture:
“It’s going to be a pretty basic, rustic ale house,” said Magee. The restaurant will not brew beer on-site, but it will serve a wide range of Howe Sound Brewing’s brands. It will also offer more than just Howe Sound beer on tap.
“We’re going to showcase emerging craft breweries in the city,” Magee said, and that includes local nanobreweries. The restaurant will carry whiskey products from local craft distilleries.
If all goes as planned, Devil’s Elbow Ale & Whiskey House will open on October 1st.

- Greg C. is drinking a Collective Project: IPA No. 8 by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinI honestly can’t add much to what the commercial description already tells you, except to say that it’s excellent.
- Greg C. is drinking a Brett Peach by Burdock at King & Dufferin2+ years old but still lively & effervescent. Brett notes have a mild funk that mingles nicely with the peach that remains. A nice treat!
- Greg C. is drinking an Ebb & Flow by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinIt has a nice tart citrus character - notably lime - and is clean & refreshing on the palate. The finish is a bit wan & watery, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Hazy Little Thing by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. at King & DufferinRight on the mark for the style - hazy appearance, soft on the palate, aroma & flavour of tropical fruit & sweet citrus. Quite nice.
- Greg C. is drinking a Toute Est Dans Toute by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinNot the most complex or experimental beer either of the breweries have made, but a nice rustic saison with a slightly fruity funkiness.
