Established in 2003, the Fernie Brewing Company is an innovative brewery that specializes in small batch beers. With their uncompromising stance on using only natural ingredients like Rocky Mountain Water, barley malt, hops and yeast, patrons are treated to exciting new flavors and can even watch the master brewers in action at the brewery.
The 5000 foot production facility includes a state of the art Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System and a number of fermentation tanks. The Brewery Tours allow you to watch how the three brews, which the company is famous for, are prepared from scratch. You can even stop by for a tasting of their Griz Pale, which is brewed with eight specialty malts and is well-liked for its smooth and chocolate and nut flavor, the more adventurous First Trax Brown Ale which is an amber-colored brew, or even sample some of their widely popular Rocky Mountain Genuine Lager.
The Fernie Brewing Company also hosts a variety of events like Fernie Ghost riders Hockey, where you can cheer the Ghost riders to victory at the Fernie area, or even lend your support via the Elk Valley Foundation Gala.
The Brewery Store is a great place to pick up some interesting apparel and souvenirs. Open from 1 pm to 5 pm, Monday through Friday, you'll surely find something exciting and novel here.
Irrespective of whether you've already tasted the Fernie Brewing Company flavors or are new to their concoctions, a visit to the brewery is certainly an eye-opener about the process of brewing.
