    Hey I am in Gibson and why not drop by at Persephone. I ended up coming back twice within a week while I was staying in Gibson. I dropped by and picked a few cans of beer. I got the Stout, Berline Weisse and Brewer Choice Lager for B to try. The Berline Weisse was a miss for sure. He didn't really like that one. Out of the three that I got he really liked teh Brewer Choice Lager. It had a light refreshing flavor. The stout was not bad but also not like special. The prices of the 4 tall cans ranges from $12 to $20. We also walked around the area as well. They have a chicken coup and a nice area to sit and relax. There are free parking on site but the parking lot was very small and it was not paved. I am sure I will be back again another time.

    Flights o beer!

    One of my fave brews - the black lager! I finally made it over to Persephone on my bday weekend away. It was rainy but our first stop at this quaint brewery was a great way to start our day! The staff was lovely and their merch is very cute, so cute I bought a tuque! My bf and I both ordered flights so we could try different beers. I loved their cider, crisp and easy to drink. They weren't pouring the black lager so we bought some to take home. The overall atmosphere of Persephone feels like a friends house with comfy couches, wooden tables and record player. I can only imagine how fun this place is in the summer with the barn style open doors and outdoor seating with pizza oven! I will 100% be back!

    I loved this brewery. It's on a farm with heritage type buildings and picnic tables outside to lounge on. I Iked each of the four beer I had in the flight. I especially liked the nitro stout, so I bought some to take home. I also really enjoyed the Golden Goddess Ale; it was a bit hoppy. You can buy food from a food truck onsite, but we chose to have a tasting without food this time. You can also sit inside the tasting room, which has comfortable couches, tables and bar type seating. You can also buy Persephone memorabilia to take with you. There sell socks, t-shirts, hats and glasses as well as growlers. I definitely recommend stopping in here if you appreciate beer in a rustic style setting.

    I randomly popped in for a quick pint while waiting for my ferry home. I ordered the Dry-Hopped Cider and found that it was a light and bubbly beverage. Persephone is a really cool location and I'm sure the foliage is beautiful when everything is in bloom in the summer months. It is worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood.

    This place is truly unique in the brewery world. They grow their own hops and brew on site, delivering the freshest of beer. During my last visit, they had a nitro beer ("Wee Heavy"), kombucha, a collaboration with Townsite brewing (Powell River), and many of their own, both standard and more "craft" varieties. Friendly and relaxed environment. They serve pizza on site, and have a variety of snacks from local companies. They also host parties and do tons of cool events. Not the easiest place to get to. From the Langdale/Gibson's ferry, you need to trek up the hill somehow. There's a bus that goes up that way infrequently, but you're better off driving, bicycling, or walking. Or getting a ride from a friendly local ;)

    See what goes into your drink!

    Possibly the coolest brewery I've been to! Persephone has a huge lot of land where you can see hops growing as far as your eye can see, greenhouses, gardens and a chicken coop, making the little walk around the brewery really neat. You can also see their brewing equipment amongst all of the farm as well. Only minutes from the ferry terminal, we saw that many others had the same idea - grab a beer or flight and play one of the board games they have around while you wait for your ferry. They have a seating space outside where you can have flights or a covered drink. There are other non-alcoholic beverages for drivers too!

    What an absolute gem! I heard this brewery was a good one to visit, but after being there, it should be on top of everyone's list. They have their crops all set up and a farm in the back with greenhouses and even chickens. There was a big selection of beers to try and the Farm to Feast food truck is out of this world good. It takes a little time for the food to get out but the cute picnic area with great drinks makes the time go by quickly.

    Great beer and wonderful setting. Located on a working farm where you can enjoy a taste inside the barn or outside on the grounds. A nice stop after arriving or on your way back to the Langdale ferry terminal. Love the standby Goddess Golden, but really can't go wrong with anything.

    As I still struggle pronouncing Persephone, they should just rename it The Beer Farm. I can't think of any other brewery I've ever been to that grows their own hops on premise. What was once I hobby farm is now a hoppy farm. Strongly supported by sunshine coast locals, they have grown operations quickly since my first visit. For craft beer junkies, this is a super easy day trip from Vancouver. Hop on the ferry to Langdale (sidenote: sunshine coast is not an island. Otherwise it would be called sunshine island. Check the maps) go up the hill, turn left and you'll see the farm once you hit the highway. Opt for a paddle, sit outside (or inside if there is live music) and enjoy farm crafted beers. Their Dry Stout is one of the stand outs, as well as Rum Runner Red Ale and Double IPA. On Fridays and Saturdays they have wood fired pizza made out of their outdoor homemade oven though I haven't tried that yet. Why farm potatoes when you can get drunk off hops?

There is only one person taking the orders and it took forever. However, a waitress will bring the food to your table display the large number on a stand, like you would receive in a cafeteria or mall. So weird. The food was MEH, however. The beer was very bitter, not to our liking at all. I just enjoyed the ambience of the place and the friendly staff, just not the way of how to order food.

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.

    I don't enjoy writing bad reviews, and always try to give honest feedback. My first experience…read morewasn't great so my partner and I decided to give this place a second chance and hoped we'd be impressed as we have friends who really enjoy this restaurant. The first time we came they had just recently opened, we ordered and then didn't see our server for over an hour...we waited over 75 minutes for a pizza and at that time left feeling disappointed in the service and experience overall (it seemed they were prioritizing take out orders over dine-in, but without appetizers we felt it was way too long to wait for food, especially with kids. Their only offer of apology was one free pop. The pizza was good once it arrived!) After this second time, I wouldn't say our minds were changed...the place has a chaotic energy-the outside dining area is messy and appears to be used for storage. There's not a lot of seating inside, so we were sat at the bar, which wouldn't have been terrible except it's where the pay station is so people were constantly hovering over my space and breathing on my food. We ordered a pizza. Our server was nice, no complaints about him. Took almost an hour for the pizza to be served and when it was, it was missing an ingredient. Nothing was said until I inquired, and the answer from the owner was that it was too difficult to add said ingredient so they just decided not to include it...I get that sometimes an idea doesn't work but then why not take it off the menu? Or let people know when they order as it was the reason I chose that pizza. Our server took off $3 for the missing ingredient which I appreciated. I will say, the pizza otherwise was fantastic. Great flavour, quality ingredients so I will credit them there... Despite the great pizza, I couldn't help but notice the restaurant wasn't clean, we came half an hour after they had opened and the floor wasn't swept, service wear was stored on the floor, my chair was sticky and I saw a few things that probably violate some health codes. Overall, this place just doesn't do it for me and I won't go back. Great pizza but unfortunately not a great enough experience to justify the cost.

What I got was lukewarm when I got there and cold when I got home. I was on time picking it up so there was no excuse that it had been sitting there. I called to complain and was told I was wrong, it was made fresh. But they did replace the pizza with a hotter one. I've had this happen at Vancouver pizza parlours and was hoping the Bay would be different. I'm from Montreal and lived for decades in New York and still haven't found a pizza that compares with the pies I got there. The Bay is better than most in the Vancouver area but still disappointing. It tasted like cardboard the next day--a good pizza should still be a pleasure cold the next day. I find there is an epidemic of cafes and restaurant cutting costs by lowering quality. I don't see how they can expect repeat business serving lukewarm reheated pizza. The ambiance is great as is the music and the staff seem nice, other than being told I was wrong. I guess the customer is always wrong.
