Since 1969 (when mullets were still fashionable), Pacific Western Brewing has been turning Prince George into a pilgrimage site for anyone who thinks a good pint should taste like ambition. Certified to ISO standards, the brewery blends relentless quality control with a surprisingly cheeky sense of sustainability – think forest‑conserving brewmasters who treat trees like VIPs at a tasting. Their résumé includes appearances in film projects and a series of pioneering beers that have kept the local scene on its toes.
The lineup reads like a wish list for the adventurous: a hard root beer that rivals the real thing, a ginger ale with enough bite to make you question if you’re drinking a soda, and a respectable gluten‑free brew that actually tastes like beer. The Dark Schwarzbock is a dark‑horse favourite, earning a cult following, while the marketing team cranks out swag that collectors hoard like rare stamps. All the while, Pacific Western backs community initiatives and forest stewardship, proving you can be both bold and responsible.
Pacific Western Brewing is widely praised for its wide variety of delicious drinks, including beer, ciders, and gluten-free options. Locals appreciate its rich history and affordable prices, making it a local treasure in Prince George and Calgary.
