Spring is here and our patio awaits! As we gear up for summer we’re excited to announce our Anniversary Patio Party and a collaboration series of beer releases. And that’s not all – we’ve got a new Head Brewer, a fundraising milestone with Protect Our Winters Canada and some tasty updates from the kitchen and taproom!

It’s high time for an update! There’s a lot of exciting news to cover, from collaborations, taproom and patio expansions to a new General Manager in the Taproom as well as our holiday season hours in December 2023.

Hello friends! We thought it was high time for an update from each department. We have some very exciting news from the tasting room and we also decided to share our beer release calendar for each season well in advance, see below. Check out our new menu items from the Backcountry Kitchen as well as the interview with Head Chef James Buchanan, and Brewer Paul McLachlan gives us his top 5 beer picks for spring.

It’s been a crazy year, full of challenges and changes to the plan so we thought it would be a good time for an update! Read on and you will find an update on our continuing journey surrounding equity, diversity & inclusion, fundraising efforts, new key team members, upcoming beers as well as a Q & A with brewer Melissa Hogg.

We wanted to update you on where we are at in our social justice and anti-racism journey.

It’s been one of the weirdest years on record but at Backcountry Brewing we know we can always count on our community to come together for a good cause, and a tasty beer. Since early last November, proceeds from the 2020 “Suck It Cancer” Pale Ale raised $15,000 to donate to the BC Cancer Foundation. The special release featured a can design collaboration with the estate of Chili Thom, a local artist who succumbed to cancer in 2016.
