I’m going to try and start doing a better job of posting about individual beers we make. To give you an idea of the background that went into developing beers and just an overall idea of what has gone on behind the scenes to create them. So here we go!
I’m sitting here at 8PM on International Women’s Day trying to figure out what to write. Truth be told I was sitting at 8PM last night and 10AM this morning and then again at 6PM trying to figure out how to put on paper (or internet fake paper) how much
Next time you’re by you may notice a new (less attractive) sign outside of Steel & Oak. While our wonderful Tasting Room staff are prepped to answer any questions you may have I still feel like it’s important for me to share with you what the deal is. Really because it
Steel & Oak Brewing Co. is continuing to grow and we are looking to hire a Brewer/Production team member. We need someone awesome to help us continue to make great beer. If that’s you, perfect, you’ve made our lives a whole lot easier. Thanks! This job will have you involved in all
As I’m sure your Facebook Feed has told you 2016 was a terrible year. Now I’m not here to disagree with the fact that a lot of awful things happened around the world this past year. I’m not here to express sadness that an actor, actress or musician that was beloved
One questions we get asked a lot is whether we have food at Steel & Oak. The answer is… sort of. To simplify, one of our license requirements is that we have food of some sort available to our patrons in the Tasting Room. However, that requirement wasn’t put into

One question I get asked a lot is “what’s the deal with the layer of yeast at the bottom of your wheat beers?” When I tell people “that’s where the good stuff is” I always get a confused look in return. This got me thinking that with the release of this
A while ago I wrote about our VCBW Collaboration and how I didn’t entirely agree with Stephen Smysnuik of The Growler BC on collabs being a regular brew day. Stephen should have attended this collab. We partnered up with Sebastian Sauer of Freigeist Bierkultur out of Germany to make an old
I’m a pusher of New Westminster. I think it’s the best city in the entire world and I love it with all of my heart. I was born here, I grew up here, we opened our brewery here, and my wife (also from New West) and I will be raising
Anytime I do an interview the same question always gets asked. “You guys all seem like friends in the beer industry, even though you are technically in competing businesses. What’s that all about?” As I’m writing this it’s been just 20 hours since I received the news that our Head
There were a lot of things we didn’t know when we first started to build Steel & Oak. One of those things was how to erect tanks and put them where you want them. However, we learned fast and don’t want to brag but feel like we’re almost experts at
This month Steel & Oak turns 2! For a company as young as ours we’ve been lucky enough to have enjoyed many fantastic moments and have been able to cram what feels like 10 years worth of learning into 24 months. As a 2 year old in a relatively young
This post is long overdue and I’m pretty confident that Tu Meke is actually sold out everywhere (with the exception of the few kegs we saved for Vancouver Craft Beer Week) so I won’t write about how happy we were with how the beer turned out and how you should rush
Here are some photos from our One Year Anniversary party. Thanks to all who came by! All photos taken by Dwight Simon.
