Yellowknife has a lot of superlatives going for it, but one that gives its 20,000 residents the most pride is: it’s home to Canada’s northern most craft brewery.

According to Fletcher Stevens, co-founder of  NWT Brewing Company, the majority of beer drunk in Yellowknife are Budweiser, Labatt’s or Kokanee. Along with blue-collar tastes, the Northwest Territories has Canada’s highest beer taxes, strict licensing laws, and freight charges that nearly double the price of grain, according to an article in the Spring Hill Insider.

However, that didn’t stop Stevens and his wife Miranda from opening up NWT at the end of 2015. Since then, thanks to local support, the brewery is thriving, giving Yellowknife residents and aurora borealis tourists someplace good to go for great beer.
