85 West 1st Avenue, Vancouver (False Creek/Olympic Village) People that know me well know that I don't really like the taste of beer. So why oh why would I go to a place called Craft Beer Market, which boasts 100+ different kinds of beer on tap in their restaurant? In this foodie adventure with fellow peer leaders and friends Kim and Shelby, our girls night out took us to Olympic Village where we enjoyed the various kinds of beer on tap and their delicious comfort food classic, macaroni and cheese. The restaurant is in the old Salt Building, and it is massive. The atmosphere is so lively and the huge bar that runs along the center of the floor houses all the various taps for beer, anything from pale ale to lager to malts and stouts (and yes, I had to Google all that). My friend Kim is a bit of a beer connoisseur, and she was the one that told us about this lovely place and also had a coupon for a free appy - fish tacos! And as mentioned above, we had their craft mac & cheese, complete with breadcrumbs, a blend of three cheeses, bacon and poblano peppers which added an extra kick. But the beer was obviously the star of the show. Upon asking our waitress what she would recommend to someone who has zero knowledge of beer, she brought over three different kinds of beer - Fruli, Stiegl Radler, and some pale ale or another. I ended up going with the Stiegl Radler, which had the taste of grapefruit, sparkling, and did not taste like regular beer at all. This is how I ease my way into beer... I see myself going back again and again in the future, definitely!
