A new brewery and taproom designed to share “the very best and most memorable beers with family and friends” has opened in Whistler.

Coast Mountain Brewing came into being when a husband and wife team started out as home-brewers with a passion in Permberton, BC.

They explained: “We were able to spin that love of water, malt, hops and yeast into full-time careers. Continually immersing ourselves into our passion, we ventured far and wide seeking the very best pints we could find, brew and enjoy.

“Knowing we had found our true love, it was time to write the business plan and set a course for what would inevitably become Coast Mountain Brewing.

“Simply said, we love what we do and we love sharing the very best and most memorable beers with family and friends.”

As Canadian Beer News reports, the brewery has been founded by Kevin Winter, who has previously worked at Mission Springs Brewing and Whistler Brewing.

Coast Mountain Brewing is located on a 2,300sqm facility has has an annual production capacity go 170,000 litres.
