Backcountry Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Squamish BC)

Backcountry Brewing in Squamish, British Columbia, is a place where imagination meets hops. The moment you step inside, the moose heads stare you down (they’re about as intimidating as a polite librarian), reminding you that pretension is not on the menu. Here the brewers marry age‑old techniques with audacious flavour experiments, producing drinks that behave like mischievous cousins at a family reunion. The flagship Widowmaker IPA hits with a bite that could wake a hibernating bear, while the Cherry Cola Gummy Sour offers a nostalgic fizz that feels like a childhood candy shop on roller‑coaster speed.

The tasting room feels less like a bar and more like a workshop of curiosity. You can order flights with names that sound like prank calls, and the staff—always ready with a grin—guide you through each pour without ever sounding like a textbook. Food lovers should not miss the infamous “Mom’s Spaghetti” pizza, a cheesy marvel that somehow complements even the most bitter brews. Kids are welcome, and the atmosphere stays lively without ever turning chaotic. In short, Backcountry Brewing delivers bold craftsmanship wrapped in a playful, welcoming package.
