Guide to BC breweries
Submitted by Sebastian Lipsett

Any guide to BC breweries is going to be a work in progress.

The province has a long history of beer brewing and there are many small and larger breweries operating in the region.

Throughout 2007, we're going to actively promote British Columbia brewers, wherever possible by visiting them and tasting all their beer!

If you would like to accept this tricky assignment and live near to a BC brewery, please write to us at Last Orders and volunteer.

The list below will gradually be updated with photos, more links and, when we, or YOU, have finally tasted and rated them, beer reviews.

Guide to BC Breweries

Reviews and related articles are linked in the usual blue underline Hyperlink style. As more reviews come in, we'll add them to the guide. Thanks for your help in advance!
