The above mentioned brewpubs are decent (though I'm a little tired of
Yaletown), but try to get to the Alibi Room if you can:

While they are not a brewpub, they are possibly the best beer bar in
Vancouver. They always have 3 cask conditioned ales on the go, along
with a great lineup of beers on tap. It's not a tap monster like some in
the US, but they probably have 17 or so taps dedicated to a wide range
of interesting beer styles, both local and from south of the border.
