You don't drive to Brewers Row. You walk to it.
That single fact is why Heritage Mountain, Suter Brook, and Newport Village families keep paying the Port Moody premium.
Seven tasting rooms. All inside a kilometre. All city-transit accessible. All evenings and weekends that don't require a car.
The seven breweries on Brewers Row
Brewers Row is an unofficial name that stuck. The City of Port Moody recognizes the cluster formally, and the seven breweries below are the current lineup as of 2026. Order below runs west-to-east along Murray and Electronic.
Hoppy, hazy, and the first stop coming off the Inlet
Twin Sails is the brewery most tourists hit first and most locals cycle back to. Known for hazy IPAs, fruited sours, and a large tasting room with a rotating food-truck rhythm. The patio hits hard on clear-sky Saturdays.
Why locals come: rotation moves faster than most — weekly new releases keep the regulars visiting.
Visit Twin Sails →The anchor. Clean, consistent, and family-friendly.
Yellow Dog was one of the original catalysts for the row back when it opened in 2014. Best known for its Play Dead IPA and Shake a Paw Smoked Porter. Huge indoor/outdoor tasting space that handles family dinners, birthday groups, and weekend game watches as naturally as it handles a four-beer flight.
Why locals come: steadier year-round lineup than most of the row — you know what you're getting.
Visit Yellow Dog →Community feel, rotating taps, serious fans.
Moody Ales has one of the most loyal local followings on the row. The tasting room is intentionally small and warm, and the beer lineup favours west-coast pale ales and dark lagers over trendier sours. Year-round events including brewery yoga and charity brewdays anchor it as a community space, not just a taproom.
Why locals come: this is the one Heritage and Suter Brook regulars actually call "our local."
Visit Moody Ales →Pacific-Northwest aesthetic with a serious food program.
Parkside runs a sit-down food program that outclasses the standard brewery kitchen — bone marrow, thoughtful shared plates, elevated sandwiches. The taproom feels more like a restaurant than a brewery, which is exactly why it books for anniversary dinners and work outings as often as it does for Saturday pints.
Why locals come: if you're taking out-of-town friends for one stop on the row, this is the one.
Visit Parkside →Small, playful, and the row's wildest experimenter.
The Bakery runs the most experimental tap list of the group — pastry stouts, bretty saisons, milkshake IPAs — and the space is tiny enough that you're often chatting directly with the brewer. This is the stop for anyone chasing the newest thing on the row.
Why locals come: a 15-minute visit — you taste three things you've never seen before and leave.
Visit The Bakery →The newcomer that's already earned its seat.
Taylight is the most recent addition and has quickly found its lane with clean, balanced lagers and a bright modern tasting room. If the row ever felt too crowded with hazy IPAs, Taylight is the correction — more restrained, more traditional European influences.
Why locals come: good for a longer sit with a pilsner and a book.
Visit Taylight →At the edge of the row, worth the extra block.
Five Roads sits at the east end of the cluster and is often the last stop on a full row walk. Big industrial space, wood-fired pizza program, and a style range that runs from west-coast IPA through to Belgian-leaning seasonals.
Why locals come: the pizza holds up against anything on the row.

Why Port Moody, and why Murray Street?
Murray Street wasn't designed as a brewery corridor. It's a legacy industrial stretch — warehouses, light-manufacturing bays, and mid-century workshops inside zoning that allows light-industrial use. When BC's craft-beer regulations modernized in the early 2010s to allow on-site tasting rooms with food service, that zoning suddenly became gold: big open bays, reasonable rents, loading access, and close proximity to the SkyTrain expansion that would eventually open Inlet Centre station in late 2016.
Yellow Dog opened in 2014. Parkside, Moody Ales, and Twin Sails followed within a few years. By 2018, the name "Brewers Row" had stuck in local use. The arrival of the Evergreen Extension made the corridor legitimately car-free for anyone within 20 minutes on the SkyTrain. That changed the demographic — it was no longer a drive-in destination for day trips, it was a walk-to neighbourhood amenity for Inlet Centre, Suter Brook, Newport Village, and by extension Heritage Mountain.
That is the single most important fact about the row for real estate. It was not positioned as a luxury amenity. It grew organically into one — and families moving up to Heritage Mountain and Suter Brook increasingly factor this specific walkable corridor into their decision. The row is now a measurable component of Port Moody's premium.
How to actually walk Brewers Row
A realistic route for a first visit. You won't hit all seven in one afternoon and you shouldn't try.
Inlet Centre SkyTrain
Exit the station to Ioco Road, walk north ~3 minutes to Murray Street. The west end of the row starts at Twin Sails.
Twin Sails → Moody → Parkside
Sampler, light snack, sit-down dinner. ~2.5 hours. This is the classic first-timer loop and is the trip to bring visitors on.
The Bakery → Taylight → Five Roads
Newer, smaller spaces. Good for regulars who've already done the headline spots and want to chase new releases.
Rocky Point Park walk
10-minute walk south of the row. Inlet views, ice cream at Rocky Point Ice Cream, pier loop. This is how Heritage Mountain families turn it into a half-day.
Rideshare / taxi / getting home
SkyTrain runs until ~1am. Most row walks end by 9pm and trains are full of neighbours heading home to Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver. If you're at Heritage Mountain, it's a $15-20 Uber home; if you're in Suter Brook, it's a 12-minute walk.
For families: several of the breweries (Yellow Dog, Parkside, Moody) are genuinely family-friendly through early evening. The row quiets down around 9pm, so 5-8pm with kids is the sweet spot.
Brewers Row is a real Port Moody premium driver
Walkable neighbourhood amenities show up in appraisal data as consistent premium. The three Port Moody corridors that carry the strongest walk-score premiums — Suter Brook, Newport Village, and the Inlet Centre strip — all overlap with Brewers Row in a 10-minute walk. Heritage Mountain sits one level up the hill from all three, which is why Heritage families pay for the mountain and the walk-down access to the row.
This matters practically if you are deciding between Burke Mountain and Heritage Mountain. Burke has the newer homes and the SD43 family machine. Heritage has the trees, the lot sizes, and the walkable village-and-brewery lifestyle a 7-minute drive away. It is one of the clearest "lifestyle premium" stories in the Tri-Cities, and it's exactly why Burke vs Heritage comes down as often to walkability as it does to schools.
If you're serious about Port Moody as your next neighbourhood, the row is not an amenity to dismiss. It shapes weekend routine, it shapes how often out-of-town visitors come to you, and it shapes resale. Every Heritage Mountain or Suter Brook listing that references "short walk to Brewers Row" is doing that intentionally.
