Website: www.bigrockurban.com

Description:
Originally based in Alberta and having just built a new brewery in the lower mainland Big Rock Brewing is putting down root here in Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood. We’ve been brewing craft beer in Canada for thirty years. That gives us experience and know how, some of our nation’s favourite beers and more secret recipes than grandma’s attic. However, what it can never give us in BC are the things we believe to be fundamental to the brewing of truly great Craft Beer. Nearby, fresh ingredients, local know-how and constant grassroots feedback. In our opinion, the only way to get those vital ingredients is to brew beer right in the market where it is enjoyed.

Mt. Begbie Brewing was founded by Bart and Tracey Larson. Their love of beer and the quest for mountain living lured them to move to Revelstoke to create the brewery in 1996.

In fact, he’s managed to combine his scientific background with an artistic, if somewhat bohemian, flair for beermaking to create what The Globe and Mail and Vancouver Province newspapers have called some of the best suds around.

Nelson Brewing Company

Website: www.nelsonbrewing.com

Description:
Since its inception in 1991, the Nelson Brewing Company has been dedicated to producing all natural, traditional, full-flavoured ales. In 2006 we decided to let the brewery evolve to an even more natural state, and by October of that year we were granted Certified Organic status. In a sense, we were getting back to our roots. People have been brewing organically for over 6000 years; the current practice of large-scale industrial farming with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is an aberration of traditional farming, and therefore brewing, practices. Choosing organic production is also in keeping with the spirit of our home town of Nelson, a laid-back, progressive community nestled in the heart of the Kootenays. With limitless backcountry skiing and hiking at our back door, as well as a host of other outdoor activities year-round, brewing an organic beer in Nelson just seems like the natural thing to do.

Shaftebury Brewing Company

Website: www.shaftebury.com

Description:
We are British Columbia born and bred, originally started in 1987 by two young entrepreneurs - Tim Wittig and Paul Beaton - who had the idea of starting a brewery in Vancouver for fun.   So yes,  it’s true BEER = FUN.  We should probably stop right here, but there’s actually more to this story. When the brewery was founded, British Columbia was known for the overwhelming  popularity of Lagers - people said it was pointless to try and sell Ales.  Good thing we didn’t listen because even though we only offered draught  Ale in the Vancouver area, people instantly became fans of our beer!   Soon, the idea of people taking our beer home sounded good so we started bottling and canning. By 1995, we had grown so much that we moved from Vancouver to the suburbs  in Delta.  By 1996, we needed to sell our brewing equipment,  so we sold it to a  start up brewery in Kelowna to help them get brewing.  We managed to stay independent until 1999 at which time we were purchased and moved to Vernon. Over that time, we even found ourselves brewing with notorious brewers from Ontario to Japan. Still following? Good, because in February 2014, the brewery in Kelowna (still around) that purchased the brewhouse from us in 1996  (also still in use) to get themselves started wanted us back. Which is where we now brew today – back in our original brewhouse. In a way we came back home.

In 1995, we grew out of our original operation and made the decision to build a new brewery at 2330 Government Street in Victoria B.C. where the brewery still stands and operates today. We have grown from just 6 employees in 1984 to over 40 today and all of our brewery employees are “Islanders” with true Island roots. We have developed a 30 year tradition and connection with Vancouver Island and are proud of our history of supporting numerous local businesses, charities, and community events over the years.
