More infoDageraad is Dutch for dawn, either poetic for a brewery or a pointed comment on when you'll leave. This cult Belgian operation hides in a Burnaby business park on Thunderbird Crescent, so nobody arrives by accident. While the city drinks the same hazy IPA, you two work through medal-winning barrel-aged sours and golden tripels on a heated covered patio. Worth the trip.
Aim for the heated covered patio if it's cool out, it's the best seat and means the date survives a rainy Burnaby day. Order a flight rather than committing to a pint, because Dageraad's whole point is range: ask the staff to build you one from sour to saison to a barrel-aged surprise, and don't skip whatever Belgian-style tripel or 'Burnabarian' golden ale is pouring. It's tucked in an industrial park off Government Street, so drop a pin before you go and budget a few minutes to find the right unit. Bring a snack appetite, food is limited, so this pairs beautifully as a pre- or post-dinner stop, and it's an easy hop to the Lougheed area afterward.
