When their grandfather moved from Austria to Canada in the 1930s and his sister stayed behind in Vienna, they had no idea that their two grandchildren would one day get into the beer business. It took another two generations before the Austrian-Canadian musical family had a brewer: Eli, who discovered his love of beer during his trip to Europe and quickly learned the craft of brewing, bought the Gastown Brewpub. The venerable building housed a true treasure: a steam heating system. The technology of steam brewing dates back to pioneering times and was hardly practiced at the end of the 20th century. Eli showed a spirit of discovery and brought new life to a long-forgotten tradition. Canada's first steam brewery was born and the brewing could begin!
In order to not only give the Canadian beer scene some steam but also a breath of fresh air, Eli regularly went to the homeland of his ancestors. Following in his grandfather's footsteps, he came across other beer recipes as well as his cousin Herbert. A close friendship developed, which didn't affect the many miles between Salzburg and Vancouver, and so it came as no surprise when the two cousins decided to become business partners. Beer brings people together, and that also applies to Herbert and Eli. With good humor and energy, the two expanded the Canadian brewery's scope into Europe and have since been selling classics like their Pale Ale as well as unusual creations like the Killer Cucumber Ale ( David Hertl is not the only one who dares to turn cucumbers into beer ) or their Jasmine IPA , which is brewed with aromatic jasmine flowers. The beers from Steamworks Brewing are not only enjoyed by connoisseurs on two continents, they have also impressed the juries of numerous competitions. With excellent recipes, hand-picked ingredients and excellent quality, beers are created that inspire.
After a few years, sales were so high that the small Vancouver steam brewery was bursting at the seams. The Steamworks Brewpub could no longer meet the high demand, so a second brewery was quickly built in Burnaby. In the adjoining tap room, visitors can taste the wide range of products in a cozy atmosphere and see for themselves the passion that lies behind this company. In order to avoid long transport routes, the production of the beers for the European market was relocated to the Craft Center in Berlin. Beers are brewed here using strictly selected ingredients and fine Austrian-Canadian recipes that have the original taste, but are much better for the ecological conscience. Clever!
