What are people saying about EastVan Bees ?

Stephen Sandve of Vancouver is a creative entrepreneur with a passion for producing local honey and keeping bees safe and well. Keeping up with the bee bizz wasn’t always part of Stephen’s plan, but after observing a hive, things started to change.
Now, the Vancouver businessman has his own beehives and makes raw, urban multi-floral honey. The yummy stuff is unlike anything you can get at the grocery store – it’s chemical free, gently filtered, never heated and tastes nothing like the honey most of us know.
As EastVan Bees grows, so does Stephen. In 2015, he was diagnosed with cancer and has had to undergo radiation and chemotherapy. Now, he is even more passionate about supporting his community of bees, enjoying the west coast, spending time with his family and helping the environment.

Almost immediately after the first harvest, many years ago, Sandve noticed something delicious about neighbourhood hives: each one tasted different. “It’s because whatever is in that neighbourhood, the bees are collecting,” he explains. “Some neighbourhoods have really nice streets lined with linden trees, or they’re near a ravine with lots of blackberries, or there’s a predominant [plant] in that area the bees like.

EAST VAN BREWING:
Marris Otter, brown, chocolate malt, English hops and East Van Bees honey.
In collaboration with a local honeybee company, East Van Bees, we brewed this English brown ale to compliment what the bees have produced through the summer months. With a slight residual sweetness and an aroma reminding us of warm nut bread, this is a malt-forward ale made from only the finest ingredients.

EastVan Bees Barrel Aged Whiskey Honey is one of the most unique honeys I’ve tasted—aged in a whisky barrel for a few months for the flavours to develop. It is delicious on desserts and a great way to support local artisans such as EastVan Bees.
