Last week, I posted an article detailing my trip to the Dockside Restaurant, mainly to try the beer there that is made at their in-house brewery. I had mentioned that  I was a bit too full at that time to try what is probably their best beer there: the Jamaican Lager. Well, I decided to head back over there again recently just to enjoy a pint of this beer.

I met a friend of mine there, and we were lucky to get a seat right by the window. It was my friend’s first time there, and he was really impressed with the view of False Creek, the boats, and the always beautiful condo buildings of Downtown Vancouver.

No zoom required. This is the exact view from where I was sitting.

We both just ordered the Jamaican Lager, and when they arrived, they looked so good: ice cold glasses, thick froth on top, and a reddish color. I almost wasn’t able to take a picture of them because they looked so good and we wanted to drink them immediately.

The Jamaican Lager x 2. Now those are some nice looking pints of beer.

You can really see the red tint from this angle.

We really enjoyed the taste of this beer. It was so light and fruity tasting, yet the fruitiness wasn’t overwhelming. I think it tastes a little bit like a Red Stripe Jamaican beer, but I found this beer was better than that. Out of all the beer that I tried at this brewpub, this one takes first prize for being the most delicious, and it’s actually one of the best beers I’ve ever had anywhere.

While there, I also got some news about the restaurant and pub availability during the Olympics. Unfortunately, the whole building will be closed to the public during the Olympics because Coca Cola will be taking it over. So if you want to try out this special beer, you better head over now or else wait until after the Olympics.
