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.

Tangerine Widowmaker IPA from Backcountry Brewing

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can from the brewery
Murky yellow colour. Yep, tangerine aroma. It's sweetish, drinks like orange juice, with some beer in the background, and mild orange pith in the finish. Pleasant non-beer, but considering how good is the regular Widowmaker that I had just last night, this is just waste of good beer.

Blond colour, hazy. The aroma is mild. The flavour is more pronounced than expected, with tones of grains, hay, and honey; balanced bitterness, a bit grassy. It's quite good.

Can from the brewery
Murky, orange-blond colour. The aroma is fruity, and a bit beer-y. Full bodied, sweet, coconut and tropical juice, but still with some beer character, and balanced bitterness. I'm surprised by this, but I like it.

16oz @ Brian's. Appearance: cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma: weird, like it is off, looks like a mix of coconut with pineapple doesn't really work well. Taste: along the same lines, quite coconuty, finishes with a bit dirty bitterness. Overall: nah, I don't really think that such things should be made.

Poured from 473mL can. Cloudy orangey yellow with small white head. Pineapple and light coconut, flavours a little muddled, aroma quite average, could be better.

What Did the Five Fingers Say to the Face? from Backcountry Brewing

6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Poured from the tap. Hazy orangey red with small white head. Fruit punch. I really can’t say this is much better or worse than their Pool Shower, and a little similar, so I’m giving almost the same rating. It’s completely uninspired though. Seems like just a cash grab by doing a simple flavoured kettle sour…

Poured from 473mL can. Murky yellow gold with full white head. Pithy, creamy, citrus juice, very muted pine hops. Nice aroma, but the taste leaves a void unfilled. It's fine, but I'm definitely more polarized on the lower end here.
