Unfiltered and unforgettable. The Snowblind Belgian-Style IPA isn’t for the faint of heart. Originally launched back in 2015, Snowblind has proved so popular that its returned every year since. As this is an unfiltered beer, pour two thirds of the beer into a glass, swirl, then pour the remainder. This allows the yeast and the other sediment to become suspended in the remaining beer; enhancing the flavour of this delicious brew.

As an update since it's been a few years, we came back. It's still a great place to hang out and they have seating outside, which is great on a good weather day. Your dogs can hang with you outside with you too. The menu is totally different also. No more schnitzel, beer cheese, liver and onions etc etc. They do still have poutine and it's good, but the gravy that they used to have was off the hook with flavor. They have great salads now, burgers and poke bowl style stuff. So more options for people with gluten issues. The fries are still good and our waitress was great. It's still a great place for a pitcher of beer and to catch a good soccer game or some other sports with friends.

Seen this place while pulling into Fernie on summer vacation. The Fernie RV park was close proximity biking over. Plenty of parking if required. Sat on the patio and enjoyed a few drafts and played a few of the many games available beside the bar to bring back to your table. Kid friendly. No food just the basics of chips and such.

Loved the whole experience here. Had a few flights which was an excellent way to try all their beers. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about their beers. They have really cute merch too. Every beer we tried was great. The patio has excellent views and a cute place for dogs to hang out under a shaded awning. No food served here but they do have a small menu of snack items.

Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner, not a big craft beer person but Fernie Brewing Company offers something for everyone. Nice beer and snack selection, tons of seating, and quick service. Spacious patio and lots of parking on the street. There is a decent merch wall available for those into that sort of thing. While there is nothing unique in its aesthetic or brand, this is still a solid (local) craft brewery. Drink of the evening: LoGo Hazy IPA.
