Dageraad Brewing’s much anticipated new tasting room is finally open.
The new lounge, located next door to its current location at 114-3191 Thunderbird Cres., has been ready to go for several weeks but has been waiting on a licence from the liquor board to actually open to customers, Ben Coli, Dageraad owner, told the NOW.
On Tuesday, Dageraad got the go-ahead to operate as a tasting room – not as a full lounge.
“This means that we don't yet have our lounge licence, and we have to limit customers to either one glass of beer or one tasting flight per day,” Coli wrote in an email.
It’s still unknown when Dageraad will get its lounge licence.
While not the outcome he wanted, Coli said it’s still good news because it means he can finally open the brand new 50-seat tasting room.
Folks got a special sneak peek at Dageraad Brewing’s new tasting room at the brewery’s third anniversary party on May 13.
About 100 or so people stopped by the local brewery to toast its success over the past three years, which Coli said is a sign things are about to get a lot busier for the crew.
“(The) party shows that there’s people willing to come out to an industrial park in the middle of Burnaby to get a beer,” he said.
