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 Rogue Kitchen & Wetbar (W. Broadway), Vancouver
Cloudy pale blond color with compact head. Nice aroma, white bread, malt, sweet. Smooth and dry mouthfeel, a bit weak; it has a mild flavor of white bread, cornmeal, with fresh accent (touch of coriander); low bitterness.
Nicely made.

Pours a clear deep copper with a generous two finger off white head that leaves nice lace. Nose is light pine and citrus with a prominent rye spice. good caramel balance up front to support a moderate bitterness starting in the middle and accented by a building spiciness in the end. Medium mouth with average carbonation.

650 ml bottle. Pours a hazy amber colour with a small creamy white head. Light berry aroma. Light berry flavour with some malt and just a hint of wheat. Light body, watery texture and flat to soft carbonation.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small beige head. Aroma brings out some dank earthy notes, along with rye and pepper. Flavour is really unbalanced - it initially focuses on notes of rye and earthy hops, and finishes on cloyingly sweet caramel sweetness. Rather nasty actually after a while. Not good.

Amber color, clear, with creamy head. Solid IPA, robust, with prominent resiny hops, some less hop fruitiness, and a mild spicy character from the rye. Moderate residual sweetness.
Nice beer, but a bit too rustic to be on top of my preferences.

Hazy light tan. Very thin bubbly head. Aroma has lots of bubblegummy aromas but the taste is quite a bit more convoluted. Sweet, bitter...not coming together. Phenols are random, esters, too. None of this makes sense, it’s just a bunch of stuff in a glass.

Draught at Bitter Tasting Room, Vancouver
Hazy red-mahogany color with generous creamy head. The aroma is caramelly, with some apple hint. The mouthfeel is round and smooth; good flavor of caramel with a chocolate accent, moderate residual sweetness; not much wheat character, but getting slightly drier at the end; correct bitterness; vague fruity impression across it too.
Bold beer, pleasant.

Blond color with small compact head. very correct pale ale, with hints of cereal, soft body, light residual sweetness, correct bitterness; malt and hops are soft. Clean beer. Should appeal to many people and to many situations.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear, pale yellow with dissipating white head. Aroma of light grain bread, mild yeast and coriander. Very wheaty taste with a little cereal grain. Light body, not much of a finish. Nothing bad or off about the beer, just quite uninspired and bland.

Dark mahogany color with persistent compact head. Light aroma of roasted malt, dust, ashes. The body is not too thin; caramel flavor, with relatively low bitterness and lack of character.
Clean but boring.
