    Been a couple times over the years. Today we went as a family of 4 with our two kids who are 2 & 3 years old. All of us enjoyed it! Right from the greeting when we walked in to when we left, staff were helpful and friendly and happy to offer beer choices for my tasting flight. Fries and GOAT pizza were delicious. Decor is fun - our 2 year old loved the moose head It was nice because it was still quiet when we arrived at 1230pm on a Sunday but tables had filled up by the time we were leaving. Thanks for a nice meal for our family!

    Cool place! My husband really liked their beers. He got them from Angry Otter. Today, we came to Squamish and he said I have a place I really wanted to visit. The staff are so nice, cool atmosphere, relaxing time for the whole family to sit and drink plus enjoy their delicious foods. Thanks a lot! See you again

    We enjoyed our pizza. It was a little windy to sit outside, which was a shame. The staff were happy, efficient and accommodating. Our beer flights were good and their names were amusing. I'm from Australia, and found a T-shirt to add to my collection.

    Cant really speak for their beers as i only had a sip of their candy shop' sour (which tasted fine and def more on the sweet end as the name implies). Their pizzas though are just okay. Got the forager and while the portion size was great, wish they had abit of spice to add some dimensionality to the creamy/cheesy pizza.

Beer List for Backcountry Brewing Provided by Untappd!
  • Widowmaker

    Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 6.7    IBU: 50

    Our signature IPA is made in the east coast style. This style of IPA is characterized by a light malt profile with a big pulpy body that is there to compliment the intense juicy character coming from the hops. Despite the absolute truck load of hops used in this style of beer the bitterness is restrained and comes across more like that of a pale ale. In this beer, we kept the malt profile light but full and we threw in a ridiculous amount of Citra and Mosaic both in the kettle and in the dry hop to create this intense juice bomb. This beer is unfiltered and un-fined to leave as much flavour and mouthfeel behind in the finished beer as possible.

  • Trailbreaker Pale Ale

    Style: Pale Ale - American

    ABV: 5    IBU: 35

    This pale ale will likely come across more like a session IPA than most pale ales in the market. We kept the malt profile light so that the hops could shine. Copious amounts of Citra, Simcoe and Chinook were used to create a refreshingly fruity hop presence. This beer is unfiltered and un-fined to leave as much flavour and mouthfeel behind in the finished beer as possible.

  • Dead of Night Galaxy IPA

    Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 6.6    IBU: 25

    Hopped with Galaxy hops, this IPA beer punches through with the big dank pineapple notes that we have come to know and love from this hop.

  • Ridgerunner Pilsner

    Style: Pilsner - German

    ABV: 5    IBU: 33

    German pilsner is characteristically dry and hoppy with a nice background bitterness. Ours is a classic example of the style brewed with Pilsner malt and hopped with Blanc, Melon, Saphir and Spalt. The result is a crisp dry pilsner with a floral and spicy nose that offers a nice balance between hops and malt.

  • I'll Take You To the Candy Shop

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 8

    This kettle sour has been bombed with peach puree and then conditioned on a stupid amount of fuzzy peach gummies

    First seen on Wednesday, May 6, 2020


  • Might As Well Go For A Soda

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 6    IBU: 8

    Cherries and cola gummies were just some of the ingredients used to make this flash from the past. It'll have you screaming for a litre o' cola... meow.

  • Maple Bay Fresh Hop IPA

    Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 6.5    IBU: 30

    This IPA was made exclusively with fresh Cascade and Centennial hops from Maple Bay Hop Farm. This beer is soft and crushable with a combination of citrus and grassy notes from the fresh hops.

  • I'm Not Even Supposed To Be Here Today

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 8

    For this beer we used an ungodly amount of tangerine drowned in an ocean of vanilla, soaked on a mountain of orange zest then smashed through a nickel sized hole filled with a fist full of coconut for that extra decadent flavour.

  • Big Gulps Huh, Welp See Ya Later

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 8

    Heaps of raspberry with subtle blueberry and lemon notes will take you back to those first sips of freedom during that inaugural unsupervised rip to the mini-mart.

  • Suck It Cancer (2020-2021)

    Style: Pale Ale - American

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 30

    Double Dry Hopped Pale Ale. A reboot of our award winning "Suck It Trebek". A portion of sales from this beer will be donated to the BC Cancer Foundation. This beer was dry hopped long and dry hopped hard with Strata, Mosaic, and Citra. The resulting beer is an absolute hop bomb of a pale ale that still remains sessionable. Cheers!

  • Pool Shower

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 8

    Is there anything better than starting off your day with a half gallon of kool-aid? Of course not because that's what adult men do. Plus it's low calorie and high on Vitamin C. So go for that run, shower in the pool and crush those 120oz of kool-aid big boy!

  • Mine Goes To Eleven

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 0

    In ancient times... before the dawn of history no one knows what it is or what we did. It's actually quite unbelievable but we turned up our fruit dose to 11. Why wouldn't we make ten the highest? Because we can turn it up to 11...
