Style: Stout - Foreign / Export

ABV: 7    IBU: 70

Our four-time BCBA Award winner! Rich and dark, this full-bodied stout has just enough hop bitterness to counter the big and bold malt backbone. Chocolate malt and roasted barley yield rich flavours and smoky aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. Slight ester presence, with hints of pear and blackberry. This face-warming favourite was blessed by the late addition of boreal birch syrup (produced right here in Quesnel), lending it a unique savoury flavour. Goes well with any hearty dishes, or try sipping it while roasting marshmallows around the campfire!

Style: IPA - English

ABV: 6.5    IBU: 48

As rugged as the terrain traversed by the 23 Cariboo camels, this IPA boasts a unique hop profile. Reigned in bitterness allows the flirtatious battle between the resinous character and tropical notes to play out. Look for hints of lychee, citrus and evergreen. This unfiltered IPA finishes dry, with an ever so slight malt influence. Don’t be alarmed by the hazy appearance- that’s just flavour with no place to hide! From mostly pale and Pilsner malt, with a bit of crystal and Munich, bittered with Nugget hops, and dry-hopped with Citra. Bonus: the story of how camels were used as pack animals during the 1860s gold rush to Barkerville.

Style: Red Ale - American Amber / Red

ABV: 5    IBU: 33

Two-time medalist at the Canadian Brewing Awards in the category of North American Amber Ale. This full-bodied ale is a bit of an enigma. Equal parts ISA, ESB, and west-coast amber, the sum is more than its parts. And worth its weight in gold. Brewmaster Troy Rudolph explains: This Northwest style amber ale is well balanced with just enough malt presence to keep the bold hops in check. The Northwest hops yield abundant citrus aromas and flavours, with a slight earthiness. This crisp ale has a medium dry finish, helping to showcase the hop contributions. Not quite an IPA, but certainly bolder than a Pale Ale. A rich and rustic, highly sessionable ale that will pair perfectly with your favourite spicy dish.

Style: Brown Ale - American

ABV: 5.9    IBU: 17

Keep the hounds at bay with this copper-hued, full-bodied monster that packs a silky, satisfying finish. This malt forward ale is rich and smooth, with slight hints of roasted barley. European style malts lend a sweetness and aroma, reminiscent of wildflower honey. The low hop presence makes this an exceptionally easy drinking beer- but watch out- the relatively high alcohol content will sneak up on you! Enjoy with just about any food, or try using as a marinade or in your next batch of chilli! Release the Hound!

Style: Pilsner - Czech / Bohemian

ABV: 5    IBU: 12

"Bill's Pils" is a crisp, hand-crafted, perfectly balanced brew with character enough to help weather any storm. A cool, slow fermentation allows the Noble hops to shine, but not overpower the Pilsner malt aroma. A touch of malted rye adds an ever-so-slight spiciness to the dry finish of this full-bodied beer. If you are after a reprieve from the summer heat, look no further than this refreshing golden Pilsner.

William Allen Jones was a formerly enslaved, black miner who migrated from the United States to Salt Spring Island before making his way to Barkerville in hopes of striking gold. Instead of striking gold, he set up his dental practice becoming the first dentist to offer painless dentistry; hence his nickname Painless Jones. In fact, the sign for Painless Jones still stands in Barkerville, as does his legend. Barkerville Brewing Co. is honoured to highlight the historical significance of William Allen Jones with Painless Jones Schwarzbier. This dark German-style lager is rich with bread-like malts and a roasted, velvety character. It is the perfect balance of noble hops and a slight sweetness, followed by a clean finish.
