If you’ve been to Irrelevant Beer before, you know exactly why this place holds a special spot in the hearts of Vancouver locals—mine included. From the first time I stepped into their small, cozy nook right next to Relevant Coffee, I was hooked. It wasn’t just the incredible selection of craft beers (though their Double IPAs are on another level), it was the vibe—laid-back, friendly, and all about community.
Today marks a big shift for Irrelevant Beer as they open their brand-new taproom just across the way from their original spot. And honestly? I couldn’t be more excited.
Bigger Space, Same Chill Vibes
Irrelevant Beer’s new taproom is officially opening today, February 21, 2025 at 1703 Main St, Suite B, Vancouver, WA 98660. It’s a major upgrade in space, but they’ve kept that same warm, welcoming atmosphere that made their original nook so special. The staff? Still the same awesome crew who love to talk your ear off about beer in the best way possible. If you’re ever unsure of what to try, they’ll help you find your beer—no snobbery, just good conversation and great recommendations.
Let’s Talk About Those Double IPAs
If you’re like me and can’t get enough of a bold, hoppy Double IPA, Irrelevant Beer’s got you covered. They’ve built a reputation for crafting some killer doubles that always hit the right notes. Two crowd favorites you have to try:
“Blurred Realities” – A hazy double IPA that’s juicy, smooth, and packs just the right punch without being overpowering.
“Double Trouble” – A West Coast-style double IPA that brings in crisp bitterness with citrus-forward hops—super drinkable, dangerously smooth.
Goon Burger Joins the Party
Here’s the game-changer: the new taproom is now home to Goon Burger. If you’ve had their burgers at pop-ups around town, you already know what’s up. But having them permanently in the same space as Irrelevant Beer? That’s a dream come true. Think juicy, towering burgers paired with your favorite IPA—pure perfection.
It’s Not Just the Beer, It’s the People (and Bruce 🐶)
One of the reasons Irrelevant Beer became a go-to for me wasn’t just the beer or the cozy space—it was the people. The folks who work there love what they do, and it shows. They’re always down to talk about the latest releases, explain the flavor profiles, or just chat about life over a pint.
And then there’s Bruce. If you’ve ever been to the old taproom, you’ve definitely noticed him—a massive, gorgeous dog with brownish hair who basically holds celebrity status there. He’s usually hanging out with his owner, greeting everyone with the most chilled-out energy. We’ve shared plenty of beers sitting near Bruce, and honestly, it made the whole experience even better.
Excited for What’s Next
This new space feels like a natural next step for Irrelevant Beer. More room, the addition of Goon Burger, and the same great beer that’s made it a local favorite. I can’t wait to hang out there, order my go-to Double IPA, and see how the new location vibes—but something tells me it’s going to feel like home from the first visit.
So, if you’re a beer lover, a burger lover, or just someone who appreciates a place with good people and good energy, Irrelevant Beer’s new taproom needs to be on your list.
