Located on Venables Street in Vancouver’s east-side brewery district, this eclectic and modern taproom embraces its Italian roots. The space was inspired by looking at examples of the owner’s favourite place in Milan—an old-school microbrewery. The cozy stay-a-while vibe balances out the more modern elements, like the concrete-based bar at the front of the brewery, and the focal point of the space, a striking triangular wall mosaic masking the brewery cooler. Each wooden triangle tile was hand-cut and hand-painted in pastel hues by the owners; the offcuts became trays for beer flights.
