AboutParallel 49 Brewing Company
Parallel 49 Brewing Company began in East Vancouver in 2012, when longtime friends Anthony Frustagli, Nick Paladino and Mike Sleeman left other careers to open a brewery. Homebrewer Graham With supplied technical leadership, while Michael Tod and Scott Venema completed the six-person founding team.
The brewery draws on Pacific Northwest beer styles and uses local and regional ingredients. Spent grain goes to Fraser Valley livestock, and the brewery switched to recycled six-pack cartons in 2019.

Parallel 49 Brewing Company Vow of Silence Belgian Dark Strong Ale
Canadian Beer
Deep and full-bodied, this Belgian-style dark strong ale brings smooth malt richness, chestnut colour and a gently peaty aromatic note. Sweet malt builds across the palate before a lightly tart contrast brings lift to the finish, keeping the intensity from feeling flat. Serve cool rather than cold with braised beef, roast duck, aged Gouda, mushroom dishes, fruitcake or dark chocolate.
Parallel 49 Brewing Company Earth Watermelon Wind Fire Watermelon Wheat Ale

Ruby-red in the glass, this Northwest red ale brings rich caramel malt into balance with an expressive burst of West Coast hop aroma.

Parallel 49 Brewing Company Salty Scot Caramel Scotch Ale
Canadian Beer
Strong caramel malt gives this Scotch ale a rich, rounded opening, balanced by a measured touch of salt that adds definition and a gentle bite. It begins sweet but remains surprisingly light on the palate, keeping its Wee Heavy inspiration approachable rather than ponderous. Serve cool with roast pork, glazed ribs, aged cheddar, sticky toffee pudding, caramel desserts or roasted nuts.
Parallel 49 Brewing Company Lost Souls Chocolate Pumpkin Porter
Canadian Beer
Rich chocolate malt gives this porter a dark, rounded centre, joined by toasted barley, caramel and a subtle cola note.

Serve cool with barbecue, roast pork, aged cheddar, chocolate cake or spiced pumpkin desserts.

Canadian Beer
Juicy citrus and ripe mango lead this hazy double IPA, with a fragrant floral lift adding definition to the hop profile.

Serve cool with spicy fried chicken, burgers, blue cheese, tacos or grilled meats.
Parallel 49 Brewing Filthier Dirtier Double IPA
Canadian Beer
Passion fruit, grapefruit, red grape and mango burst from this doubled-up West Coast IPA, with floral hints adding further lift.

Serve cool with grilled beef, spicy barbecue, blue cheese, smoked pork or sharp cheddar.
Parallel 49 Brewing Brave Noise Pale Ale
Canadian Beer
Dry-hopped with Sabro and Mosaic and made without kettle or whirlpool hop additions, this American pale ale takes a deliberately late-hop-led route.

Serve cold with tacos, fried chicken, grilled vegetables, citrus salads, mild cheddar, pizza or crisp seafood dishes.
Parallel 49 Brewing Company Space Kitty Juicy IPA
Canadian Beer
Pineapple, mango, peach, pear and lime lead the hop aroma, shaped by Mosaic, Amarillo and Citra Cryo dry hopping.

Serve cold with tacos, grilled prawns, spicy chicken, mango salad or fresh chevre.
