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.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head and reddish hue. Aroma and flavour of maple, roasted malt, light licorice and a little candied sugar. Quite decent.

Okay dark brown appearance and dark beige head. Aroma of roasted barley, typical microbrew porter aroma. Flavour is bitter roasted barley moving into chocolate and coffee flavours; it ends with a watery finish and a bitter aftertaste. I couldn’t pick out the maple syrup at all.

Trade with omhper, thanks. 355ml can. Patchy surface to a golden amber body, slightly hazy. Smell of dried fruits. Apricot, peaches and a touch of toffee malts in flavour. Subdued bitter endnotes. Gives an overall sweet fruity impression. About average for the style, I guess (hotel room in Malmö, 01.08.2010).

Bottled from Kimberley, BC. Cloudy amber, small airy head. Mild orange aroma. Mid sweet with rounded mouthfeel and light-medium body. Fairly low on spices. A mild, almost neutral but highly refreshing beer.

Draught in Kimberley, BC. Cloudy brownish amber, creamy head. Slight blueberry aroma. Mid sweet with fairly light body and soft mouthfeel. Huckleberry flavour is obvious, but doesn’t take over, though the wheat beer underneath is fairly neutral. Huckleberries seem to be an good choice of berries if you necessarily must mix berries with beer.
