The brewery is dog friendly with inside and covered outdoor seating as well as misters for those too-hot days. Good tunes. Nice beer selection, though they were out of quite a few things while we were there. Still enjoyed a lovely sour and a delicious stout. Not much for snacks to speak of, but I dig the vibe here. Worth a trip!

I believe it's a stop on the BC craft brew tour. I got their lighter craft beer (named after Captain Krunch) and it was delicious - I was halfway through before I realized and I do not usually drink a whole beer let alone half. We were heading out of Canada at this point and I hadn't had anything "Canadian" yet so I ordered the poutine - wow, it was scrumptious. I loved that they had hot dogs on the menu, and that the kids were having so much fun there playing the abundant games left around the place (there are also retro arcade games). We chatted freely with the (I'm guessing) owner and just were left with an all around good impression of not only the restaurant but the entire town.

Unfortunately the afternoon we were there the kitchen was closed so we couldn't order food. They did offer for us to bring food in and there was a pizza place close, but we had lunch, so it wasn't needed. Mr. B chose the four beers for his flight and he added an extra one. He found the beers to be lovely and he enjoyed each one for the flavor that it offered. I was thrilled to find they also had wine and my riesling was chilled and very good. We really enjoyed our time there. Mr. B loved the Chestnut ale and bought a six pack. He enjoyed a few in the evening while we were at the hotel, and he carefully packed the other four to bring home.

On a recent drive back to Vancouver from the Prairies we were able to stop in to this beautiful location not too far from Merritt BC. We had a chance to sample a few of the ciders which varied and taste and then purchased a few bottles. We were able to crack open a bottle and enjoy it on a bench outside and taking the peaceful surroundings. They are one of our most favourite ciders we have ever had and this visit was a treat. You can also purchase some other small local goods in their shop.

They use English & French dessert apples and everyday eating apples to create some delicious concoctions! This family run business started off with an idea to make cider in a bucket in their kitchen, and turned into a business after taking many cidermaking courses with some of the pros! They have a Bunk House dry hopped cider that is delicious and the perfect cider for all you beer lovers, made with Cascadian and Chinook hops. The School House ginger infused gives a nice warm and spicy punch of ginger. Joe Shack Rhubarb infused is obviously my favourite, I've never had a rhubarb cider before and now I'm obsessed! Made with local BC rhubarb of course! The Cook House is a raspberry infused, which makes it a little tart and sweet. Then they have their Big Dry, Little Dry, Pear Dry and English Dry. They also have a cider club where you'll get a case for Spring, Summer & Fall with free pickups in Merritt, Kamloops, Kelowna and Vancouver and starting at only $71 a case, that's under $6 a bottle! Woot! They have no doubt inspired me to jump on the cider wagon!

What a great RANDOM find. We mentioned to a local in Whistler (actually a young German national)…read moreguy living in Pemberton that we were going for a drive up there. He told us about The Beer Farmers. I had a flight of some great local beers, and a burger and fries from the truck. Burger was a real tasty 'smash burger'. Seating is at picnic tables - had a nice chat with some Vancouver-ites. Loved the location, beer and burgers. So glad we got pointed to it. What a nice drive, food, drink and look at the valley and mountains. We thought we were in Austria!

Can't recommend it enough, the staff were very friendly.

At the end of October when I went, they're only open Friday and Saturday afternoons. Our experience there was super chill. We rang the door and someone let us in. I forgot his name, but he was one of the brothers behind the operation. He then introduced us to their liquors and we picked which ones we wanted to try. We tried a variety of liquors, including their vodka, ginger and honey, coffee, scotch, apple brandy, and kartoffelschnaps. Our favorite was the vodka, as it's one of the smoothest vodka's I've ever tried. The coffee liquor was also very good if you're a coffee drinker, but I personally am not a huge fan of the coffee taste. We bought a bottle of the vodka, scotch, and ginger and honey liquor away with us. Prices were reasonable. For example, a 750 ml bottle of vodka was $35. You can also take a couple steps into their distillery space. We went in to take a look and also was given a high level introduction to their distilling process.

Who knew that the best sipping vodka in the world hails from Pemberton BC!…read moreBut don't just take my word for it. They've got the international awards to prove it. 2010 Double Gold and Spirit of the Year in the recent World Spirit Awards. The distillery tour is well worth the $6 as you get a personal view of where all the potato magic happens. Tyler and Lorien are gracious hosts and are full of boozy knowledge. Oh, and of course there's a healthy sized tasting post-tour at the bar with your very own Schramm's glass. The word on the Pemberton street is that Tyler is concocting a small batch of Organic Single Malt Whisky this summer. But unfortunately, we will have to wait a few more years to sample this barrel of local gold. Damn you Oak Casks!

They also had a Halloween cocktail list. The hostess was friendly, but our server killed our experience. Her words were friendly but her facial expressions and body language revealed how much she disliked serving us. My husband and I spoke after, we both felt she was probably racist. Their happy hour menu had a big selection of food items but no drinks. Everything was pretty expensive for happy hour. We tried the raw Albertan elk tartare and potato puffs. We enjoyed both dishes and the portions were big. As much as we enjoyed the food, we probably won't return due to the slow and uncomfortable service.

Though the restaurant was largely empty when we arrived, we were sat at a booth that at best sat 4 and was not enough for the 5 in our group. We tend to eat lots of appetizers rather than one big meal so I knew the table would not work - we asked to be moved and the server was quite confrontational - she eventually agreed to move us to one of two larger tables that was available the whole time we were there! But it was a weird start and had we not already ordered drinks and it been a Saturday night with most places booked - I would have walked as I don't ever recall been talked to like that in a restaurant and my guess is they moved us in time to stop us leaving. She also told us that she would stagger courses appropriately- that never happened. Pretty much everything arrived at once which I wondered if it was an attempt to flip the table quickly for other large parties - who were not exactly lining up in abundance. The other large table sat empty even after we left. It arrived so, so fast I would guess that a lot of it was pre prepared and just heated up as multiple plates were brought out less than 10 minutes of ordering. Also most of the appetizers and salad arrived last so they seemingly did not know or care to course appropriately. We also ended up stacking dishes at the end of the table as they were not removed- though to be fair, they appeared to be woefully understaffed . Food had some hits and some misses .The meat eaters loved the chicken, the shishito peppers were excellent, , watermelon salad was good, potatoes croquettes were a shadow of their former selves and needed more flavor , mussels were okay and the Creme brûlée was gritty! Weird vibe, mediocre service, food was just okay - much better places to eat in the Village so I wont go back.
