Craft Breweries currently operating in British Columbia.
This list is comprised of every craft brewery open in the province of BC at this current time. If you see one missing please comment below as this list will be ever growing (hopefully not shrinking). This page is a work in progress and will contain more information in the future. I have decided to leave shadow brands off the list.

Mike's Craft Beer 
Wow, that’s an extensive list Mike. Thanks, have only visited two on your list. Time to get busy. 🙂
I hope it helps you find the breweries near you. I will be doing more work on this page in the near future. This is just the beginning.
[…] BC Brewery Directory […]
Where doe brands like Bowen Island Brewing and Balderdash Brewing fit into the whole craft beer scene? You include Whistler Brewing on your list, all 3 are part of the Northam Beverages company in Vancouver. And what about similar brands like Hells Gate, Cariboo, etc. I enjoy supporting Canadian Craft brewers. I avoid buying anything made by the BIG3 multinational macro brewing companies but it is getting more difficult to know whether a craft beer brand is still a craft beer and not another beer bought up by the BIG3 multinationals. Sometimes I like to buy the cheaper beers as a lower cost alternative to some of the more expensive crafts beers, particularly in the summer months. Opinions on these cheaply priced ‘craft’ beer alternatives?
Whistler Brewing still has a tasting room for one thing they are also making consistently good beer. I don’t add breweries that don’t include breweries that are only a brand in this list so places Like Stanley Park Brewing does not count as it is a brand of Turning Point. I have no problem reviewing their beers though. Hells Gate while it was a brand of Turning Point is a macro clone so I won’t review it. Again Bowen Island is only a brand now it is not a brewery so it does not make this list for me. Cariboo is a brand of Pacific Western Brewing. While they seem to be trying harder they run their business more like a macro brewery even if BC owned.
Any word on Broke N Rode Brewing in 100 Mile house. Last i saw when i went through 100 Mile they were opening again.
Really? Interesting. I have not heard anything on their front. I don’t know anyone living there to double check. When did you drive by?
I threw a message at them. Their website does hint at reopening.
I just got word Chris they sold the equipment and license to a new owner so there will be beer there but new ownership and new recipes.
I drove through end of October. Good to know they are re-opening. Need some good beer up there at my Cabin.
Well I hope I can track down who is the new owner.
Hey chris the brewery in 100 Mile House is now open!
http://www.jacksonssocialclub.com/
A few updates:
– Chaos & Sollace in Chilliwack has re-branded to Flashback Brewing: https://flashbackbrewing.ca/
– Jackson Social Club & Brewhouse appears to be permanently closed: https://www.facebook.com/jacksonssocialclub/
– Savoy has closed: https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/2019/07/07/old-bc-craft-breweries/
As far as I can tell I already added Flashback and removed Choas & Sollace.
I will look into Jackson but seems like 100 Mile just isn’t destined to have a brewery.
I will remove Savoy.
Thanks so much for for the info. Always need help keeping this up.
Actually found a post on facebook from Jackson social cub saying open today.
You’re right, I was looking at the wrong Facebook account it seems. This appears to be their new one: https://www.facebook.com/JacksonsBrewery/
The new link is http://www.pacificbeerchat.com/bc-brewery-directory
I have much of this fixed but not all. Britannia is now updated as per your comment.
Another small correction: Britannia in Richmond is open to the public. It’s not a tasting room, but you can try their beers there, buy cans and fill growlers (unlike the other breweries listed in Red).
Also, Factory Brewing is now called “Craft Collective Beerworks”.
Oh crap I see whats happened here. I moved the list over to http://www.pacificbeerchat.com now.
Ah I didn’t realize those two sites were both yours.
Should I stop looking at mikecrasftbeer.com and only track pacificbeerchat.com? (It looks like the second one doesn’t have comments enabled though so I won’t be able to report any corrections there.)
For context, I’m keeping track of all BC craft breweries so that they can be mapped properly in OpenStreetMap: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/BC_Craft_Breweries
Thats my bad I will activate now.
They are but Mike’s Craft Beer was shut down but I have not had the heart to remove it from the web.
I will see why comments are turned off as they should not be.
That sounds awesome on your end.
There we go. Comment section fixed. Any time you see an issue feel free to let us know. We / I apreciate it.
