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. Pours a clear copper with a medium, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Fruity aroma of biscuity pale malt, orange, mango and floral hops. Fruity flavour of biscuity pale malt, grapefruit, cantaloupe and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Pretty decent.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Fruity aroma of pale malt, mandarin orange, pineapple, passion fruit and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, tangerine, mango, peach, pineapple, passion fruit and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average to soft carbonation. Abv is well hidden, making this very easy to drink.

It's a beer that exists. A typical golden ale that isn't really a kolsch, and probably shouldn't pretend to be. Just flabby pale malt, low bitterness, and a lack of continental hop character. I expected little and boy did this deliver.

Poured from 473mL can (bb 21/Sep/25) upon finishing 3 days working in Bella Bella. Hazy blonde gold with small white head. Tropical and melon hops with an oaty base. Okay.

473mL can, pours a dark amber red with a medium beige head. Nose has some gentle resinous upfront, bready caramel, and a touch of woody pine. Flavour is much the same, with woody piney hops, resinous notes, and lightly sweet toasted caramel malt. Woody, bready, lightly sweet finish. Pretty well-made.

Light purple/pinkish pour, with a small off white head.
A distinct malted wheat aroma, with touches of diacetyl, and some random berry juice, and light stone fruit. Low carb, muddy mouth feel. Low bitterness in the finish, muddled flavours, sweet berry juice, buttery malts. Meh.

Sweet flavour of spicy rye malt, grapefruit, strawberry and hop resin in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Interesting and enjoyable.
