Red Truck Brewery in Vancouver

Red Truck Beer Company is a Vancouver business that operates a brewery and diner. It hosts various events including the Red Truck Concert Series in the summer.

Red Truck is the fourth largest craft brewery in British Columbia, and, in our opinion, it definitely has some of the best beer! The diner at the brewery also serves really good food.

This year, instead of a series of concert nights throughout the summer, there’s one big concert happening on July 19th, 2025.

Vancouver’s Red Truck Beer Company

Red Truck Beer Company is a great craft brewery that’s been making beer in Metro Vancouver since 2005. Originally founded on the North Shore, the company’s brewery and its Truck Stop diner are located at 295 East 1st Avenue in Vancouver, right near Main Street.

You can get Red Truck beer at liquor stores around the Lower Mainland, or from the brewery itself. The company sells various kinds of craft brews including IPAs, other ales, lagers and pilsners. All of the beer is made by the batch.

Truck Stop Hours and Offerings

The Truck Stop is open daily beginning at 11:00 am. It’s open until 10:00 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and until 9:00 pm the rest of the week. Happy Hour is from 3:00 to 6:00 pm on weekdays.

The establishment features about a dozen different beers on tap at any given time in a rotating lineup. A pint costs $8 (as of the last time we checked in early 2025) and a flight of four six-ounce drinks is $9.50. All pints are $6 during Happy Hour. To see what’s currently on tap check out the What’s Pouring page on the Red Truck website.

The food menu includes classic bar fare like burgers, wings and hot dogs, but also all-day breakfast items, salads and quesadillas. Prices range from about $10 (for a plain hot dog) up to $25.50 (for a grilled chuck patty and smoked brisket burger).

Red Truck Concert Series and other Events

Red Truck is known for its live music, headlined by the summertime Red Truck Concert Series. The concerts happen outside of the brewery and typically feature multiple stages so there’s no down-time between one band finishing its set and the next one starting.

The 2025 concert series features a single show on July 19th. It’s headlined by Lanco, an American country band. To learn more about the event see our article about the Red Truck Concert Series or go to the official Red Truck Concert Series website.

There’s music inside the brewery year-round as well, with live performances from predominantly local artists every Friday and Saturday. The Friday shows begin at 5:00 pm while the ones on Saturday start at 7:00 pm. The full schedule is available on the Red Truck Events Calendar.
