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.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Blond color, clean. Mild aroma, but nice, some dank hops. Very dry, but not too weak, it has some crackery malts, and step g bitter was, bit not much hop quality.
Decent beer, but it should be fruitier, more hop quality. As is, it’s just a session bitter beer.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out slight metallic notes, crackery malt and crisp dry hopping. Flavour is dry and bland, with crisp crackery malt and a dry lifeless hoppy character. Weak and unadventurous, but inoffensive. Meh.

650mL bottle, pours a dark red with a small beige head. Aroma brings out notes of boiled vegetables, bready malt, and a little caramel. Flavour is dry and vegetal, with dry bready malts, a little toasted caramel, and boiled vegetables. Not too off, but it's certainly not a superior amber. Not impressive.

Tasting at Matt’s
Dark amber color, small head. Aroma of caramel, a bit fruity, estery, hint of smoke, bread, cereals. It has a moderately sweet flavor, based on caramel, with some cereals and bread; high bitterness level, with some resins, not much hop quality.
For an Amber Ale, not bad.

Amber, hazy. Saison yeast, lightly toasty and peppery, touch of citrus. No major faults but nothing to get excited about, either. --- Beer merged from original tick of High Side Saison on 25 Dec 2021 at 05:29 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5. Original review text: Golden, quite phenolic, sweet, pretty simple and yeah a bit sticky, touch of bubblegum.

Amber. Has a lot of toasty caramel character. Decent bitterness, bready. Unadventurous beer but at least it’s well-balanced.
