Brewery expands
North Vancouver's Bridge Brewing has moved from Dollarton Highway to a new location at 1448 Charlotte Rd. as of Jan. 15. According to a press release, the new 4,500-square-foot space will allow the brewery to more than triple its annual production from 175,000 litres to 585,000 litres. The larger space will also mean "an increased selection of award-winning craft beer and seats to enjoy it."
Bridge currently distributes its product across B.C.
