Deep Cove Brewers & Distillers was a craft brewery and distillery based in North Vancouver, British Columbia. Founded in 2012, the company operated from #170–2270 Dollarton Highway, producing craft beer as well as small-batch spirits including vodka, gin and seasonal releases.
The distillery became particularly interesting for its experimental and limited spirits. Its range included Deep Cove Vodka, Rosemary & Olive Gin and Barrel Aged Akvavit, among other small-batch releases. The latter was produced only in limited quantities and became one of the distillery's more distinctive products.
After roughly a decade at the Dollarton Highway location, Deep Cove announced in May 2023 that it could not renew its lease because of complications with the building. At the time, the company said it was actively looking for a new location and intended to continue brewing and distilling.
That relocation apparently never materialized. Current sources list Deep Cove Brewers & Distillers as permanently closed and no longer in business, with the original North Vancouver operation having ceased around the summer of 2023.
Deep Cove therefore belongs to the now-closed generation of small North Shore producers whose spirits survive mainly through old releases and archived records. Its Barrel Aged Akvavit is one of the more unusual examples of that history.
