Description
This team of owner-operators was formed shortly after the group realized they all were after the same thing, just in different parts of the province. Brewer John Folinsbee was planning a brewery in Squamish, industry veteran Marc Roberts had his sights on Vancouver while entrepreneur Ben Reeder and builder Adam Steinberg were looking at brewing in the Cowichan Valley on Reeder’s hop farm. After tasting John’s recipes they decided to go all in and combine forces to build the 6000 square foot brewery, tasting room and kitchen in Squamish.

Tall can at Alex's. Pours a dirty golden with a white head. Aroma is some tropical fruits. Similar taste with some slight bready notes and medium hoppy bitterness. Refreshing.

Can, Legacy. Opaque, pale, just a thin head. Danky lupy powder nose. Soft, not much bitterness, touch of cannabis but also maybe a touch of butter than needs to have been absorbed before releasing this. However, the hops take on a slight fruity note as well, so not bad.

Tall can shared with Alex and Farees. Pours a jammy purple with a weak rose-ish head. Aroma is a bit strange with some off-notes. Taste is very juicy with lots of berry notes, however, with those slight off-flavors. Still quite good, though, due to the juiciness.

Murky purple color. Aroma of berries and milk cream. Mildly sour, more fruity, decent berry flavour, icecream; the ending is off-dry.
Ok beer, with with some off note.

Tall can from Legacy. Pours a cloudy dirty blonde with a white head. Aroma is dank and juicy with pineapple and some malty notes. There are some fresh like toothpaste notes as well. Taste is similar, a bit dirty. Piney bitterness aftertaste. Quite good stuff. Reminds me some Foam Brewers beers.
