Relive the glory days at this eighties-themed brewery
Ahh, the ’88 Olympics. We can’t think about ’em without shedding a few nostalgic tears, can you? Those days were a golden time full of big tunes, neon looks, and rad vibes, so it’s only right that our new brewery, Eighty Eight, celebrates all of that and more.
Eddie the Eagle would love this place, and we’re not just saying that because there’s a beer named after him. Eighty Eight is constantly surprising us with big flavours– and though some may be weird, all are a welcome change from the recycled tastes that are usually found on tap.
From their Wave Pool Tropical IPA to their Good Morning Vietnamese Coffee Stout, Eighty Eight is not afraid to try something new… which is something you could probably guess just by taking a look at their eye-popping décor.
The taproom here is pink and blue and bright all over, so if there’s anywhere you could get away with wearing sunglasses indoors, it’s Eighty Eight. Bonus points if you rock ’em while playing Duck Hunt on the old school NES. Bonus, bonus points if Sunglasses At Night is playing in the background.
But if this spot wasn’t wicked enough already, there’s also delicious, fresh pizza on weekends. Pop by Friday or Saturday after 5 pm to fill up on New York slices, courtesy of the crew at Noble Pie.
