Welcome to Squamish BC! Great find with very good food - recommend the fries! Did my flight of beers. Enjoyed the Squamish Pale Ale, You Killed Kenny and the Stout. Server was amazing and staff was very friendly. Soundtrack was spot on and the crowd was very upbeat. Little details like the rotary phone in the wall, the lamp shades, the tables with maps and the old movie screen just make it a cool place to hang. read more

Headed to Whistler for a vacation and had to stop here to grab a beer flight and some beers for the room! Backcountry is my favorite brewer in BC so it was nice to stop post travel for an IPA flight which was delicious and some crispy French fries ! Service was fantastic, loved the outside patio and ambience and grabbed some beers and merchandise to go! Always a great experience! read more

Backcountry Brewing - IPA flights - Pizza Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

tl;dr the impressive sour lineup and fun bar fare are sure to satisfy at this approachably delicious Squamish brewery Squamish may seem at first like a scenic-yet-suburban pit stop between Vancouver and Whistler. But don't sleep on Squamish's limited-but-delicious food scene. A solid place to start is Backcountry Brewing, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bar and restaurant on the back side of the towns main shopping plaza. Since debuting in 2017, Backcountry has been a British Columbia beer darling; now, Backcountry prides itself on an ambitious lineup of limited-release beers. From the outside, the converted warehouse blends in with the rest of the industrial block. But inside, Backcountry is lively and inviting. The accents sport a tan and teal color palette. The bar to the right is decked with retro bulbs and a letterboard menu. Sound-dampening panels and camo-shaded lamps hang down from the soaring exposed HVAC. Each table is decked with a laminated BC map and mid-century modern chairs. Eighties tunes echo around the halls. My partner and I visited Backcountry after a full day of hiking, ready to chow down; we ordered a sandwich, a pizza, and a few flights. The Soprano -- Italian Sando was piled high with capicola, mortadella, and prosciutto cotto on a fluffy, poppyseed-laden foccacia. Our side of Five Guys-style, wedge-cut fries was rich and salty, and we loved each one of Backcountry's house-made sauces more than the last. The Meat Your Maker pizza was a deliciously nostalgic riff on the classic meat-lovers pizza. The thin crust stood up against the hefty helping of toppings, and the poofy cornicione paired perfectly with the exciting sauces. On the brewery side, the flights proved to be a fun deal. Across the beers, I was most impressed by the sours. Our collective favorite was the "Plan B? We Need A Plan C, D, E, We Need More Alphabets" (a basil-forward pineapple sour), while the "I'll Take You To the Candy Shop" (a peach-centric sour) and the "Might As Well Go For A Soda" (a gummy cola-esque cherry sour) were strong competitors. Meanwhile, the non-sour beers I tried were relative duds, including the "Never Taken A Shortcut Before?" oatmeal stout and the Sneaky Peach Cider. The service was friendly but somewhat inattentive throughout the meal, and the bill came to about $60 (after tax and tip). More than anything else, Backcountry satisfied -- it achieved the ideal brewery balance of fun, elevated, and casual. After our stay in Whistler, I admittedly had low expectations for Squamish, but Backcountry Brewing was a beyond-pleasant surprise, and I surely would visit again. read more

Went to Backcountry Brewing after a hike in Squamish. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience there! It was Saturday at 4pm and it was 5 of us and we didn't have a reservation but were seated right away. The servers were all sweet and took their time to explain the menu. Also, all their pizzas were freshly made because they were soft and hot! We had heard that they are best known for their pizzas so that's what we got - :: Mushroom parsley - according to the servers, this was their most popular pizza and I can see why! I'm a sucker for mushrooms on pizza and the pizza was so flavourful! Would 5/5 recommend. :: Sauce Boss - also really good! Their tomato sauce was so unique, it was sweet but a little tangy. :: Killa Beez - it had honey, mozzarella, chilli flakes, onion, oregano and it all went so well together!! :: Margherita - one of the best margherita pizza we have ever had!! Also, a lot of their pizzas were vegetarian which is awesome. read more

Excellent little brewery. Good food. The chicken sando was perfect. We'll be back for sure.

We visited Backcountry Brewing after a quick stop at the nearby Saturday farmers market. Although we had some food there, we were still a bit nippy. Fortunately, our meat lovers pizza arrived promptly. We arrived just as they opened, so the restaurant wasn't too crowded. However, after 20 minutes, the place was packed, and they were taking names for a 20-minute wait. Despite the wait, the pizza was worth it. It was loaded with meat and topped with a variety of ingredients. The crust was cooked in a wood-fired oven, which gave it a delightful charred flavor. It was a bit of a treat, considering it came from a wood-fired oven. I ordered the non-alcoholic ginger beer, which was honestly the strongest ginger beer I've ever had. It was like drinking a ginger shot. The overall service and ambiance was pleasant. We sat at their glass garage door right beside the entrance. We enjoyed the view of the mountains. The restaurant and bar are quite spacious inside. There's even another area with seating past their merchandise area. If you're a tourist or just driving through and looking for a quick bite, this is definitely a place to check out. read more

Great little place to stop for a beer and a bite to eat in Squamish. Lots of IPAs and sours to choose from, plus a couple of pilsners which made my hubby happy. The limited food menu had a chicken sandwich, salad, fries, and some really good/interesting looking pizzas. We split the Caesar salad that would have been big enough for 3-4 as a side and the BBQ chicken pizza. Both were quite tasty, as were 3 of the 4 beers on my iPA/sour flight. My husband gives rave reviews for the Pilsner too. read more

Absolutely loved this spot!! Asked a friend for a pizza recommendation and luckily she pointed us in this direction. The GOAT pizza is absolute BALLER, and the flight was perfect to split between two people if you're looking for some light drinks. I really liked the passionfruit sour. Staff were very friendly and the vibes were really nice. Again, love this spot. read more

Perfect stop to grab beers and pizza. It had plenty of seating and I liked their map tables! You can drink on tap or get cans to go. Pizza was delish! They had good beer selection too. We are IPAs fan so it hit the spot. read more

If you like sour beers, then you must stop over when you are in the area. We love trying new local craft breweries. Backcountry Brewing has lots of sour beer creations. You can try for a flight of sours, as they always have a few on tap in the tasting room/patio. We can't remember the name of the beers because we think they have the longest name we ever see. My choices were GUAVA SOUR and FUZZY PEACH SOUR. They were super refreshing, especially on a hot day. My hubby super enjoyed their IPAs. He even brought a mix 4 pack home. Be sure to stop in when visiting Squamish! read more

Excellent brews. We try microbreweries all very the US and this one is up on the best list.

Highly recommend trying at least once! Came after a hike and it exceeded expectations. The sour flight was delicious, and we were able to buy cans to go. The cheeseburger pizza was much better than I thought it would be, and I would order it again. There is plenty of seating, and service was good. read more

Really happy we stopped here around 4 on the Sunday of a holiday weekend instead of eating in Whistler. Put our names on the list for a 10 minute wait while we walked around the buildings and peeked in the climbing gym. While the menu is limited, everything we got was great. The cheese pizza had 6-8 pieces, large enough to share. With less grease and a little more bread than a thin NYC slice, I bet toppings would shine. I was worried for no reason about the breaded salt and pepper wings - perfectly cooked and way less messy than sauced wings; we did get buffalo sauce on the side. The mustard dressing made the arugula salad ordered to fend off scurvy. The beers were good. We tried four new England ipas which was fun - the house with a mildly fruity finish was my favorite. Even the ginger cider was on the dry side reminding me of sparkling wine. Great names and descriptions. Booth inside was comfortable. read more

This is our favorite brewery in the area! I think I've been to backcountry Brewing more times than I can count, it's the best place to go after a long day outside having fun. The pizza really hits the spot along with the housemade hot sauce but also features their beer as an ingredient! I also really like the fries, and the arugula salad. But where this brewery really shines is obviously the beer. They often have seasonal flavors that are available for a limited time along with their standard drinks that are offered year-round. My favorite are the beers that feature real fruit juice, which I think adds a more interesting flavor profile. Seriously, some of the flavors really blow my mind. I must visit if you're ever in squamish! My only complaint is that I wish the beers were a bit more affordable, but they do make a nice treat here and there. read more

An amazing brewery to stop at after a hike in Squamish or Pemberton or a ski/snowboard day in Whistler. THE best sours - the cherry and cola sour this past weekend was amazing. They have amazing IPAs and pilsners too.. everything is tasty! We have enjoyed their wings in the past but tried out their pizzas. The prosciutto fig one was good - a TAD dry but loved the figs! My guy got the spicy meat pizza and we both really enjoyed his. You'd never suspect such a cool brewery in this business-industrial area but it's a great spot. read more

This brewery is a MUST on your way from Vancouver to Whistler - or even for a small day trip. We were here a few years ago on our Canadian trip and I knew we had to stop again this year. The beer is so good and they have a ton of options. The food is amazing! The pizza and dip were so good and came out piping hot and quick. Our server was so nice and helpful. We can't stop talking about this brewery! Just had the best vibe and loved our time there. read more

Looks like Squamish now has a bit of a craft beer scene, which I'm sure is great for the locals. Parking is available in the nice large lot in front of the warehouses. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially with managing the gaggle in front. Good to see that there's a demand for this stuff. The inside is nice and modern, and has a rustic feel. There is also a nice large outdoor patio in front. Beers are pretty tasty. Nice interesting long titles. They seem to have a mix of several types, so there is variety. Not a bad place for a pit stop when passing through the area. Now if only the lineup was a bit shorter. read more

Had a great flight and pizza at Backcountry Brewing on our way home from a weekend in Whistler. The beer list is extensive, and we focused on the sours. You can tell the beer maker has quite a bit of fun playing with candies and flavors. The pizza was stellar. Got the mushroom. The crust was fluffy and light and well made and the shrooms were beautifully seasoned. A definite return will be made. read more

Went 3 weekends in a row for some post hike beers. Love that it's on the way back to the city after hiking at Whistler and Squamish area. Love that they have quite a few options for their beers - especially a few sours to choose from! Favourite is still their Guava beer, for you guava fans out there :P Would highly recommend their pizza & mac & cheese too! read more

If there were 10 stars I'd give them gladly! Beer is amazing, staff is out of this world friendly and helpful! The food. Wow so good.

Backcountry Brewing - Prosciutto and Fig pizza (the banging hot sauce) and the Shirley New England IPA. - Pizza Near Me - Squamish, British Columbia

Great place to stop in at if you're going through or staying in Squamish. The beer is good. The only major disappointment I had was that the beer I liked the most, the cherry cola sour was sold out of cans so I couldn't bring any home! I was super sad about this because it is such a unique sour, I haven't had anything similar anywhere else. It's a huge plus that they also offer delicious food! We tried the pepperoni pizza and the prosciutto pizza. Both were really tasty however the pepperoni was quite salty. Overall we will definitely recommend to friends and come back next time we are in the area! read more

We found Backcountry after our original dinner plans atop Sea to Sky Gondola were thwarted by an early closure due to possible thunderstorms. Being from out of the area we'd only intended on heading south, back to our Airbnb in N. Vancouver and we're quite happy we made the extra jaunt into town. A lovely backdrop of the Tantalus Range was especially breathtaking that evening with temps around 72F/22C and though we were inside it was open air dining. We shared the "meat your maker" pizza and a side of fries. For two in our party of 4, jalapeños were not to their liking and it was no issue to customize the pizza this way. To drink I had the widowmaker and my 19-yr old enjoyed the "strange women in ponds ..." sour. Everything was delicious. The estimated wait of 20 minutes for a table was actually closer to 5. A couple of us picked up souvenirs (drink coozie and a pin) and they had much more for sale including their abundant selection of brewed ales and ciders. read more

Wings, salads, pizza was all great. Beer was even better if you aren't a classic beer style lover. Outside seating, OK industrial setting but the food and beer was spot on for our family. read more

What a great vibe in this brewery! From the friendly staff to the cabin style decor, this place screams community. My partner and I were just in Squamish for the day taking in the sights and thought we'd stop on for a late lunch. I was jazzed that they had a cherry cola sour and it totally lived up to its name. Deeeeelish and tastes so much like the sour candy. For food, my partner ordered the mushroom pizza which has kale, parm, cream sauce and a hearty sprinkling of cheese plus I think some truffle oil. MY GOD ITS SO GOOD. This was one of the best mushroom pizzas I've ever had. The cheese was goooooey and stretchy and the toppings were beautifully in every bite. Get this pizza if you go here!!! You won't be disappointed. Now for the not so good news and the unfortunate reason I had to dock a star was the Korean wings were like a salt lick. Whatever sauce is made for these wings, it's been too seasoned. I love me some Korean style wings but I really wish they were less salty and more spicy. Perhaps we just got a highly salty batch but I have a feeling it's the sauce itself. The ranch on the other hand for dipping was incredible and I needed it to cut the salt of the wings. Loved this joint overall and will be back! read more

Best chicken sandwich in the world hands down, worth every cent and the beers are delicious

Possibly the best best brewpub I've ever been to between it's great beer, great pizza, and friendly attentive staff. Has retail space where you can buy beer and swag. Tends to be a little busy - it's clearly a popular spot in Squamish. I've waited nearly an hour once. But they use waitlist.me which allows you to see where you are in the queue. Pizza is thin crust and both ones I've had were great. The vegetarian pizzas also sound awesome. The meatball is solid too. On a really hungry day I can eat a meatball and half a pizza. My only complaint about this place is the real generic music selection. First time I went in they were playing emo punk from the mid 90s and second time the Michael Jackson HIStory CD. Nothing against either, and I'm actually a huge Michael Jackson fan, but still, one area of improvement. read more

Great place in Squamish for pub food and beers. They have a large selection of sours which was what attracted me in the first place, some unique and not a personal favorite of mine, but also some that were delicious!

The service here is friendly and efficient. I was a bit surprised by the location as it's in an industrial area close to strip mall. Nonetheless, the beer is good. I had a taster set of beer, including a hazy ipa, pilsner, grapefruit cider and nitro stout. The pilsner was very crisp and refreshing; I'd get it again in a second. The grapefruit cider was a bit too sweet for me; however, the nitro stout was fabulous. I only wish they would sell it in cans to go or allow growler fills. It was very delicious. There were many pizza options and other food. We didn't eat, but if there had been more salad or varietal options, I may have gone for that. read more
