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.

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

650ml bottle. Pours a cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma is wild yeasts, fruity, tea notes, slightly sweet and sour. Taste is hoppy bitter, bready, fruity, yeasts. Hoppy bitterness, bready aftertaste. Just a not bad for refreshment for people who likes this kind of beer.

355ml can. Pours a clear pale yellow with a medium, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grass, grain and bread. Sweet flavour of grainy malt and grassy hops with a dry, clean, crisp, mildly bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Pretty good as far as pilsners go. I was pleasantly surprised.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Hazy light amber color with compact head. The aroma is mildly spicy. The mouthfeel is smooth, but the flavor, after the initial coriander, is full of vegetables and yeast. It also has some fruity esters and strong bitterness.
Very messy, not very pleasant.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a fairly clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out rustic farmhouse notes and lots of yeast, with fairly high residual candied sugar. Flavour is very authentic, like a typical North American pseudo-saison, with earthy yeasty notes and medium residual sugar. Very little complexity and not overly clean. Meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of High Side Saison on 14 Jul 2020 at 05:37 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: On tap at Fernie, pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice saison character, gentle esters, and some earthiness. Flavour has some good clarity, with gentle esters, decent expression of the saison yeast, and a touch of candi sugar. Not too sweet. The saison yeast is used pretty well for a BC, let alone North American brewery. Solid stuff.

Red-brown, has an old fashioned c hop nose with lots of crystal malt. Big rocky head. Earthy, not much bitterness but some vague yeasty fruity esters. Ok, I guess just a mellow basic amber.

On tap at Darby's, pours a hazy golden copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle some piney and floral hops upfront, not much else. Flavour is extremely floral, with an almost perfumey hop quality to this. Just enough biscuity malt to back. Nothing special but it's reasonably done. Meh.
