We can't wait to celebrate with you with a Rad Pop Cheers for Three Years!

Update - As of July 30 I Final Draft Taphouse Vancouver Wa.

With new Govenor Safe Start Re-Opening Plan changes released July 24, we wanted to share and clarify what that means for Final Draft Taphouse.

We will remain open at limited capacity (50%), spaced tables and no bar seating, as we have been since Phase 2 Re-Opening. Here is a summary of our changes to our general operations we previously announced in early June.

Currently we are serving craft beer, cider, wine and NA Beverages. We have a small food menu available as well. We are offering dine-in/drink-in and to-go beer and cider.

Hours are: Tuesday through Saturday - 3 to 9 pm

Inside seating is limited to household members only. 5 people or less.

We’ve changed some tables to smaller sizes as to accommodate smaller groups of the same household. As always, we have a small amount of outdoor seating that we are allowed to have. These will be first come first serve and parties of 5 or less.

We are looking into more outdoor seating and will update here if we are able to add more.

REMINDERS: No Mask. No Beer.
Please continue to practice social distancing and all rules (required by law and house rules) as posted.

Online ordering remains available. If you want craft beer to-go, please order online in advance (unless you have a growler...we will fill these with precautions taken) in order to limit lines, time in the taphouse, etc.

Thank you all for your continued support during these ever-changing times. We remain committed to all safety and sanitation procedures and want only for all of us be safe and remain healthy! While all of the changes and circumstances we all face are difficult, we have to remember why we are doing all of this and this is to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and protect everyone! Grace, Love, Kindness, Respect Always.

We will get through this together!

Cheers! Mike & Kimberly, Owners, Final Draft Taphouse

Wear Your Mask Beer Friends! I Vancouver Wa.

Wear Your Mask Beer Friends!

Per Governor Inslee's mask mandate for the general public, starting, Friday, June 26, we're asking that you be "Beer Excellent to Each Other" and wear your mask when entering the taphouse and while moving around the taphouse! 

Once seated, you are free to remove your mask.

If you have an exception, please let us know.

Also, please social distance when you are in the taphouse and adhere to all of our other safety and house policies in place to keep you and us safe. We want everyone to feel and remain safe and healthy while we all continue to curb the spread of the virus and prevent another shutdown. 

We have come this far. There is more diligence to be done though so that we all can be safe in our community and so that Final Draft Taphouse can keep pouring you pints!

Thank you for being RAD and doing your part!

Black Lives Matter I Final Draft Taphouse

We want everyone to know that we fully and deeply believe Black Lives Matter. We’ve always felt that way. The recent events have made us realize that while feeling and saying we are allies is not enough.

We have felt the gamete of emotions as many have and have realized that while emotions are a start, they are not what is important right now. What is important is understanding and acknowledging what our privilege allows us, what our fellow Americans of color are going through and what they have been going through for 400 years. 

What is also important to us is taking action. We have been taking action personally as owners and as a taphouse. We are listening, learning, putting our money into helping eradicate systems that keep people of color oppressed, and have been having conversations in our families, communities, and will be doing so in Vancouver and in craft beer. 

 We are a taphouse that believes in doing what is right. What we believe is right is…

Choosing courage over comfort, choosing what is right over what is fun, fast or easy…and choosing to practice our values over processing them. ~ Brene Brown

 There needs to be zero tolerance in this country for racism. The people are speaking and have spoken. We cannot continue with hatred and discrimination that is so imbedded in our systems and communities.

What we are experiencing right now…is our opportunity for the future. 

We must care when people are dealing with prejudice and systematic racism. This is a fight for humanity. So we can live in a world without hate and racism and where people are loved and do not have to worry about their safety when they are walking down the street or when they are going into a pub for a pint.

We also believe that community and connection with others is of the utmost importance in our business and in life. And we achieve this through storytelling….getting to know each other deeper through our stories and our experiences. There are many stories of People of Color that are not being heard, sought out, taught, and listened to. That will be our focus.

We wanted to share these voices of educators that we are looking to, to understand what we can do to fight racism in our communities as well as how to work at inclusivity, equity and justice. We have reached out to Dr. J and have become members of Craft Beer For All so we can develop strategies in our craft-beer business.

We are starting give-back nights at the taphouse starting Thursday, June 11. Every Thursday through July 16, at the taphouse, we will be donating $1 per pint to organizations helping to eliminate race-based discrimination and are dedicated to Black liberation and to collective liberation. In addition, we will be donating $5 per Adventure Pack purchased online. Donations will go to our local chapter of the NAACP and Black Visions Collective (BLVC).

https://www.naacpvancouverwa.org - The Vancouver Branch works to continue its efforts to improve equality and justice in our community.  Wherever there is a need, they are there to advocate for equal treatment and justice for all people.   

www.blackvisionsmn.org - BLVC is committed to a long term vision in which All Black lives not only matter, but are able to thrive. 

 We know that we will never understand fully. We know that we will not get everything right. We are going to learn, start conversations, sit in the “uncomfortable,” stand in solidarity with our Black sisters and brothers, and do the work. We do not want this to be the final draft of history. We need change. We need it now!

Dear Beer Friends! Here is our latest on our new reality!

Hey Beer Friends – what a week we have all had.

We want to let you all know that we have always valued the health and safety of our employees and our guests and will continue to do so. We are unsure of the days and weeks ahead but what we do know is that we and our team will be here for you. We are open regular hours - modified as of March 17 (OPEN 3 to 8 pm for TO-GO BEER ONLY!), and we have some great beers on tap (we could all use a cold one right about now!?!).

We know that during this time small businesses will be hit the hardest so here are some things that you can do, if you can, to help support any small brewery/taphouse/pub/restaurant in our community. Things that you can do at this time: support all of us by coming in …if you’re healthy and feel comfortable doing so, grab beer and cider to go, purchase a gift card for future use if you are not going out at this time, purchase merchandise and sport your craft beer/Vancouver pride!

Thank you for always showing up for us. We are grateful for all of your love and support and inquires and for always being RAD! Mike & Kimberly

Meditation Vancouver, Wa. - Mindful Meditation & Beer

Meditation has been around as long as humans have been present. Meditation is simply a relaxed state of mind with no thought, completely present in the current moment, focused on the breath.  Meditation is the practice of thinking deeply or focusing one's mind for a period of time. The goal of meditation is to go beyond the mind and experience our essential nature—which is described as peace, happiness, and bliss. But as anyone who has tried to meditate knows, the mind itself is the biggest obstacle standing between ourselves and this awareness

Why meditate? Practicing meditation is a great way to bring more focus to the scatter-minded, more relaxation, peace, calm, and clarity!

Meditation & Beer? Why not?! Being able to find presence and community amongst like-minded people who will find time out in their day to come together to meditate and let it all go, just to have beer afterwards is an all around "feel good" zen situation. We meditate and then come together around a pint of craft beer, that building community and hopefully build lasting connections with those around you!

Meditation Monks meditate. Trappist monks make and consume beer. Meditation and beer go together. So that is why we created Zen Zythophiles (Lovers of Beer!) - Mindful Meditation & Beer!

Our Mindful Meditation & Beer events are the 4th Sunday of each month and are led by Yogi Yuliya! Registration is required in advance.

For more information and to register, check out our Meditation & Beer page!

Join us to become Zen Zythophiles too!

Finishing up with Namaste at the end of our February 2020 Mindful Meditation & Beer Event!

Look at this Zen Zythophiles!

Craft Beer Vancouver, Wa.

There is a lot of craft beer to love in Vancouver, Wa. We pride ourselves on having a great craft beer selection from Vancouver, Wa., greater Washington and Oregon. We focus on having local, independent craft beer on our 30 taps. We have additional craft beer in our fridge, including bottles of craft beer and 16 oz cans of craft beer.

When you come to our taphouse, whether you know the craft beer we have or not, we will find you a craft beer that you enjoy. Our beertenders are beer guides and enjoy helping you find a beer that fits your palate or allows you to explore craft beer and find something new (to you) that you enjoy!

The variety of craft beer available now gives all of us the chance to explore and be adventurous. We offer craft-beer flights where you can try multiple styles without having to drink a pint of each. We want you to enjoy what you order and are always happy to share craft beer knowledge!

Craft beer is our passion! We love the craft-beer community and everything it stands for! We wouldn’t be doing this if we didn’t! Cheers to craft beer, the craft beer community and most of all, you, the craft beer drinker!
