Description
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.

On tap at Steamworks - Mt Pleasant, pours a cloudy blonde with a tiny white head. Aroma has gentle citric notes, lacto, and a touch of tropical fruits. Flavour is pretty citric, with plenty of lacto, light passionfruit, and plenty of citric notes. Simple but inoffensive. Cheap adjunct kettle sour.

On tap at The Barley Merchant, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma has some earthy, almost sweaty hops, a touch of pine, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is moderately bitter, with some citrusy hops, light earthiness, and a dusty bready malt base. Dry, lightly bitter finish. Not the most expressive hops but reasonably constructed.
