About
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.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Flight pour at Biercraft. Pours opaque yellow with white head. Aroma has a ton of fuzzy peach candies. Flavour is similar, but with more juicy peaches; a touch sour. Does what it says it does.

Pale with a slight haze. Thin head, fruity nose. Sweet, no real hint of wildness. Maybe light acidity but this didn’t come together. Need more from the sacc trois here.

Hazy, sort of dull orangey colour. Medium head. Light mango…lighter than it usually is in a beer. Mild chile, touch of heat. This is a mellow beery version of a mango hot sauce. Light tartness in the finish.
