Things at Fernie Brewing Company are busy, in fact so busy they had to build a new Brewery! The new Brewhouse is located along the highway on the East side of Fernie, at 26 Manitou Road. The new location is designed to allow visitors to stop in for a tour, purchase Brewery apparel, or pick up a 6-pack of beer on their way into town. The new Brewhouse production area is triple the size of their previous space, with new fermentation tanks, a state of the art water filtration system and increased capacity.
Some might be questioning what took Fernie Brewing so long to move. “We’ve been brewing like crazy!” said Don Moore, Fernie Brewing’s Head Brewer, “Strong Summer sales in Victoria and the Lower Mainland made it nearly impossible for us to shut down for the move. But, we took the plunge and now all production is happening at the new Brewhouse.” Fernie Brewing Company sells its 6-pack cans throughout all of BC and Alberta.
This new location is conveniently located on the highway, entering Fernie. “Our highway location will give our brand great exposure”, says Murray Pask, Sales Manager for Fernie Brewing Company, “It’s great incentive to try it on tap at our local restaurants and pubs. And hopefully they’ll remember Fernie Brewing Company when they see it on the shelves at their local Liquor Store in Calgary or Victoria.” Fernie Brewing Company cans are sold in Liquor Stores, Restaurants and Golf Courses throughout BC and Alberta.
With the expansion of the brewery, Fernie Brewing has launched their new Rocky Mountain Genuine Lager in 6-pack cans. The Lager is a continental style lager, with peaks of flavour built in a longer aging process.
The brewery was established in 2003 and is a small batch brewery driven by passion and pride about quality beer-making. All their handcrafted ales and; lagers are brewed locally, using Rocky Mountain spring water and premium all-natural ingredients with no preservatives.
Fernie Brewing Company premium ales and lagers are on tap throughout the Kootenays. 6-pack cans are now available throughout British Columbia and Alberta Liquor Stores. Retail Store hours are Monday to Friday 1pm – 5 pm, and Brewery Tours run Wednesdays & Fridays at 3pm. Call 250-423-7797 to book your tour.
