About
In 2003 the Pask family, long-time residents of Fernie, had a dream of their own to bring the brew back to the small rocky mountain coal mining town. They did just that, setting up a Brewery in their family barn. It was the start of things to come.

In 2007 we relocated to our existing building, designed and built from scratch. With constant growth, Brewhouse expansion, new products and revamped recipes, we’ve travelled through kegs to cans to 650ml bottles and into growlers, currently distributing throughout BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and into Manitoba. As we continue to grow, we’ll never forget our roots. It’s as simple as Good Beer from a Good Town.

Thunder Meadows IPA from Fernie Brewing Company
5 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can from The Gull, North Vancouver; tag 26/04/21 (I guess, packaged less than 3 weeks ago)
Blond colour, slight haze. Piney hops aroma, a bit of grass, of manure, of malt. Good strength, it's fairly dry, with mild crackery and biscuity malts, bold bitterness, with herbaceous and piney character. It needs more brightness with those hops, but it's a West Coast IPA brewed in a modern fashion at least.

Can. This one's only got a slight haze to its pale amber body. Decent head on it, though. Weedy and grassy - so the good and the bad side of that coin - on the nose, along with a fairly sticky malt profile. On the palate, though, it's thin. There's some bitterness, but it's still not balanced.

Single Hop IPA: Sabro from Fernie Brewing Company
6 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Can, Blackfish Liquor. Vibrant pale amber colour, with a thin head. Massive dank aroma, lemonenes and tangerines and stuff. On the palate, it's a bit grassy, and not as bright as that big aroma. Decent malt base. It's okay, which is too bad because it has a great aroma.

Slingshot Session IPA from Fernie Brewing Company
6 years ago
7/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pours with very good foam on a mostly clear yellow body, nice sweet hops on the nose with some soft weedy notes. Flavour is mellow malt and some good hops; mouthfeel is oily enough, some modest carbonation in there. A very good ISA, nothing lost from the low ABV and nice to drink.

Base Camp from Fernie Brewing Company

7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Pours with nice foam and a good orangey copper body. Very good piney malts on the nose, lots of resin, balanced and smooth. Flavour is good malt with sharp piney hops, rounding out well into a good pale ale meld. Very good mouthfeel, crisp and good oiliness. A very fine pale ale.

Lone Wolf IPA from Fernie Brewing Company
6 years ago
7.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Nice orange body and very modest foam, good dank hops on the nose, hints of pine and candy. Flavour is plenty of maltiness and hops, resin, great pineyness. Good oiliness. A really reliable macro IPA, malt is involved here which is great and unfortunately rare for the local scene. Hitting all the right notes here.

Project 9 Pils from Fernie Brewing Company
6 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6
Poured into a Hard Rock Café Vancouver pint glass it has very good foam and decent medium gold body, middling carbonation again, big bubbles. I like those funky weedy pilsner hops and they're in spades here. Flavour is smooth grain, caramelly almost, sugary. Mouthfeel is too cloying, missing that snap of a crisp pilsner. Still not bad, good to crush a few in a backyard barbeque.

Big Caboose Red Ale from Fernie Brewing Company

6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
Nice deep brown body with purplish notes, very good foam. On the nose is soft faint biscuit, really too faint. Flavour is mellow molasses hints, slight caramel. Full mouthfeel. Very simple but also quite drinkable.

Sour Wheat Ale (Tequila Barrel-Aged) from Fernie Brewing Company
6 years ago
6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
650mL bottle, pours a hazy golden orange with a small beige head. Aroma brings out light tequila upfront, with light lacto and a hint of tartness. Flavour reveals lots of agave nectar, gentle tequila, and gentle tartness. Light tequila character here. Not bad, but a little underwhelming.
