Beast and Brine

i’m a super fan of this place! The meat and cheese selections are excellent. The service is always on point. The sandwiches are worth it. I have a friend who visits from LA and she swears by the Beast, everytime she visits. She says its one of the things she looks forward to during each visit. I love the turkey sandwich, all of the breads and ingredients are fresh and if its not, they won’t serve it. I have had charcuterie boards made from this place on a few occasions, they put it on a wooden board and you can either buy it or put a deposit on it. The selections are excellent and keep different tastes in mind. We once had a gigantic sandwich board made for a gathering, the wooden board itself was amazing and the variety of sandwiches were a hit, it wasn’t the typical super market sandwich platter. You have to go here and then walk next door to Fieldstones and grab some cookies ;)

I gladly give this little sausage. Cheese, and charcuterie place 5 stars. It’s my dirty little secret, my reason I visit every person I know in crescent beach happily, and the reason I skulk around putting my bought packages of amazing home made sausages in those victims. I mean friends fridges. Must not let them see or they will want one!!! No sharing! My precious… Ahem.
When I say the sausages are out of this world, I don’t just mean «wow, man these are local and free range» like a hipster. I’m talking duck sausages, with dried plums and a hint of fennel… juicy tempting f#%#ers that will make neighbours attempt to ring your doorbell with curious questions when you grill them outdoors. The butter chicken chicken sausages, huge and tasty were bursting with flavour. Whatever that weeks flavour is, you gotta try it.
Ok now to their charcuterie… Also amazing. Pickle brined montreal smoked meat, amazing still warm fried frikadel meat amazeballs… you will never just eat one. Not to mention house made and cured picnic hams and other yummy delights.
Also this place is located next to an out of this world bakery. Piece this together, reader and enjoy a moment in solitude eating a frikadel followed by a hazelnut chocolate mousse cookie… its like a flourless chocolate cake… k I’m going there right now!!!

Read a couple of the reviews and they all seem to rave about the sandwiches. Frankly, I don’t see it, especially about the «beast» sandwiches. Nothing phenomenal, but not terrible either: prosciutto, ham, and roast beef on a round bun. Putting butter underneath the lettuce was actually the one thing that stood out in a good way.
However, service was friendly and reasonably timely. I wouldn’t consider the sandwiches here to be the best bang for your buck: $ 20 for 2.

If you want artisan deli meats without harmful nitrates and dirty additives, than this is the spot to visit. They make and cure all their meats in house and their passion shows in the taste. My family has severe allergies to, ahem, *crap* and MSG-​like substances that are in most cured meats so it was so refreshing to find this place. Very well priced for the quality of the product! Try the leoner and salamitti — best I have ever had!!! The service is always spot on they always remember you even if you haven’t been for a while. Good job guys don’t ever leave the area!

Big selection of meats and cheeses as well as some imported pastas, spices, drink mixes etc. Great made-​to-​order sandwiches, friendly customer service, and the option to sample most products before you buy. Always high quality products and helpful staff.

Good selection of cheeses and meats however over priced. Also lacking in customer service. Asked for my cheese to be sliced and got a low groan (I know it is a large inconvenience when paying $ 5.50 a 100g). Then I open the package at a picnic and a ¹⁄₃ of the cheese is the butt end chunk! Thanks a lot!

A hidden gem. Definitely a drive to get there and finding parking can be a bit challenging. Just tried their sandwich baguette it was huge (gave me 2 meals). Have only tried their sausages but they are amazing. Have tried the bison, elk, turkey and chicken. You can definitely taste the quality. Great service always. They have samples as well so you can try before you buy.

This place is worth the trek to the out of the way location… trust me!

Best sandwich place around. 1^st visit was on the weekend and back already. Sausages are stellar. Staff is friendly and quick. My new favourite and will be back soon.

We love this wonderful charcuterie. The pâté is gorgeous and the cheese selection brilliant. They almost exclusively carry Canadian cheeses which are world class.

I’ve been tracking/​waiting for Beast and Brine to open since I saw their coming soon sign late last year when, on one of my normal trips to Fieldstone bakery beside it, lo and behold, the doors were finally open. I walked in and chatted with Ryan about their operation — he showed me their curing station in the back with racks and racks of amazing bacon. Needless to say, they do their own smoking and curing of goods. They have a smallish selection of goods from Oyama and others but their main fare is all housemade and wickedly awesome. Seriously, try their housemade pork deli meat — I will NEVER be able to buy from supermarkets now. So thanks for the added complication in my life.
At any rate, here’s what else I see them offering (in no particular order); sausage, rillettes, pates, other charcuterie, pickles, and a VAST selection of condiments (mustards, salts, vinegars, etc). And then… they have cheese. To be honest, I haven’t spent too much time in their cheese section so I’m not sure exactly what they have but it does look like it’s a strong Canadian selection.
They also make sandwiches which I’ve been meaning to try — two price points there at (I think) $ 7 and $ 9, the latter using premium meats and they look to be of a generous portion.
If you like fine meats and charcuterie or even to experience a future South Surrey landmark, you must check it out. One of the owners, Tyson Blume runs Uli’s in White Rock of which I haven’t yet had the opportunity of checking out. I was told that Beast and Brine provides the meats for Uli’s so this isn’t a fly-​by-​night operation — they know what they’re doing and do it very well. I’ve been there about 5 times now and on all occasions, it’s been a steady, busy stream of people coming in. South Surrey has direly needed a joint like this — so happy to see them in the neighbourhood.
