The brewery is dog friendly with inside and covered outdoor seating as well as misters for those too-hot days. Good tunes.

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!

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.

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!

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.

They also had a Halloween cocktail list. The hostess was friendly, but our server killed our experience.

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.
