    Soprano -- Italian Sando
    Austin B.

    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.

    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.

    Parking is easy! Lot is large. Lots of bike folks here on weekend. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean bathrooms with multiple stalls. Fast service of pizza and salads! Wings were crispy and delicious. Great for groups. Wonderful delicious pizza crust. Smiles from staff!! Loved it here- so cute too.

    Flight!

    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.

    Meat lovers pizza
    Jose A.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Saucy pizza!
    Brian C.

    This place has energy oozing out of it doors and the beer names are interesting for a first date. The pizza is great but the beers are the highlight with lots of sours and hazy options which are my favorites! The place has a clean crisp feel that makes you happy - just go!

    We came to Backcountry Brewing on a recent trip to Whistler. Along the way, we visited a number of local breweries and this place was definitely my favourite place. Their pizzas really were quite tasty and the selection of beers was quite good overall. We had a great time.

    Good beer, nice ambiance. The wings were probably the best I have had in years or ever. Def recommend.

    Cheese burger pizza and sour flight
    Amanda B.

    Great service and great food/beer! We came twice in one week! Tried the new cheeseburger pizza and it was surprisingly tasty! Also the outdoorsy vibes of the brewery is very aesthetic. Would reccomend when in Squamish or heading to Whistler.

    Lager: Sick Days; Pils:  Ridgerrunner; IPA:  If You Like Making Love at Midnight; IPA: Widowmaker
    Sandy Y.

    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!

    Four New England ipas. Favorite? Widowmaker.

    Craft beer and restaurant near the middle of Whistler Village, just S of the Olympic rings…read more Parking here is horrendous. Surprise surprise. The place is part of Mark James group (Yaletown Brewing etc.), so one can already know what to expect if one has been to the other locations. Staff are friendly. Most of them seem to be Australian. Only complaint was that my friends and I couldn't be seated outside on the patio for some reason, even though there were clearly tables available (I didn't see any reserved signs). Not sure why the waitress insisted we sit inside where the place was maybe 30% full, but oh well. The place feels like a giant chalet, with the timber trim everywhere. They have a pizza oven, and the beer production tanks are visible over the kitchen area. There's even a toy train that does a circuit throughout the dining area (look up). One thing worth mentioning is that the bathrooms are on the 2nd floor, which may be a problem for some. Food here is Whistler pricing, so be sure to have deep pockets. I was told to try the High Mountain beef ribs, so there is now 1 less cow out there. 3 bones drenched in BBQ sauce, served on top of a pile of coleslaw and next to a pile of mashed potatoes (there is a fries option). Ribs were cooked well but the sauce was definitely on the salty side. I tried a piece of my buddy's prime rib and it's pretty solid. The portion size was definitely enough. I was stuffed. I also had a flight of their craft beer (4 glasses). As of the time of writing, they only have 8 beers available, but it was more than enough. Overall the place is worth a visit if one wants pub style comfort food.

The food was a mixed bag, some dishes great, some not so much. The general consensus was the beer wasn't great. But I did enjoy my cocktail! The DJ/emcee for music trivia bingo was a lot of fun. You got to choose your Bingo card. He played songs spanning the decades, but you're also allowed to Shazam. He also walked around, looked at our sheets, and pointed out any songs we may have forgotten to stamp. People from our table one 3 out of 5 prizes given that night! THE DRINKS * Passion fruit fizz - 4.5 stars Lovely thick layer of egg white that gave the drink texture, sharp citrus flavor. Also, props to the staff as my partner ordered the wrong drink for me at first - they let me swap out that wrong order for this drink! * Coast Sour - 3 stars This drink was not for me - too strong, flavors not subtle at all. The beers generally weren't great; a lot of them lacked body and complexity. The best one was the IPA, the worst was the cream ale. THE FOOD * Bayou Bite - 4.5 stars The bun & slaw were good, and we liked the bbq sauce. The breading had a great crunch but we had 2 thinner slices which leads to less juicy chicken and too much breading. * Beer Battered Cod Batch Soft Tacos - 4 stars The fish tasted very fresh, with a nice balanced thin layer of breading and lots of toppings that worked well. Don't let it sit too long or it could get pretty soggy. * Nachos - 1-2 stars I didn't try this or get a photo, but my friend said this was pretty bad.

I called my friend to make sure everyone was actually coming. One person cancelled, so I came back and asked to be put on the list for 6 people. Apparently, that was also wrong. Now I was told that I had misunderstood everything and that the maximum table size was actually 5 people, not 6. So which is it? 6? 5? 7? Maybe figure out your own seating policy before speaking to customers like they are the problem. I couldn't care less about having to wait or not getting a table. What is completely unacceptable is the rude attitude, contradictory information, and complete lack of basic customer service. This was supposed to be a birthday lunch, and your staff managed to make the experience unpleasant before we even sat down. If you don't want parties larger than five, just say that. If you don't take reservations, fine. If you don't have tables available, also fine. What isn't fine is treating customers like an inconvenience while changing the rules from one conversation to the next. We took our business elsewhere, where apparently basic manners and clear communication are still part of the dining experience. Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant: you can keep the tables.
