About Angry Otter Brewery
Angry Otter Brewery is a production brewery and wood-fired pizza taproom on Marine Drive in the Lions Gate area of the District of North Vancouver.
Just off Marine Drive in the Lions Gate area, this production brewery anchors the western end of the District with a taproom that feels genuinely lived-in. Angry Otter Tap & Forno sits a short walk east toward Norgate, placing it within minutes of the Capilano River corridor and trailheads for Grouse or the canyon. That proximity means you will often share space with hikers shaking off mud, hockey parents waiting out practice times, and locals who have supported North Shore brewpubs for years. It serves as a convenient reset point for anyone looping the North Shore end to end or visitors arriving over the bridge who want to stay on this side of the water.
The tap list stays approachable with rotating lagers, a pale ale, and a darker option, while the kitchen turns out wood-fired pizzas that give the taproom its name. Summer crowds claim the patio, but winter brings a cozy mix of post-mountain visitors and Capilano regulars seeking warmth and sustenance. As one of the few spots on the western strip combining a working brewery with a full food menu under one roof, it saves you from crossing back into Vancouver for a complete evening. You might pair a flight with a stroll along the nearby Spirit Trail section or a quick detour to Cleveland Dam, proving the area offers more than just industrial zones and motels. Why not make this your basecamp before heading back up the hill?
