Pacific Western Brewing

From Farm To Bottle

This is an exciting time for BC brewing and beer culture, where the demand for craft beer has grown to a point where the province can now sustainably grow ingredients that meet the requirements for our facilities. As a long time local and independent brewing company, we at Pacific Western Brewing wanted to jump on this opportunity immediately and represent something from the heart of BC. Our Cariboo Springs Lager not only supports the hard working local farmers and families that make our craft possible, but it also utilizes their craft.

100% B.C. Ingredients

Hops

Our beers get even more distinct depending on the bitterness added. With a North American classic lager in mind we wanted to create a leisurely and crisp beer; so we started minimal. Cariboo Springs Lager uses a blend of Nugget, Mount Hood and Cascade hops come from Chilliwack Hop Farms. A modest amount of each results in a light golden clear finish with a refreshingly clean taste.

Malt

The two row pale malt is produced by Gambrinus Malting in Armstrong. Two-row barley is the traditional ingredient preferred for both German-style lagers and English-style ales. Pacific Western believes in the tradition of great taste and the dedication that goes into maintaining it.

Water

Beer begins with the trinity of water, hops and barley malt but it is the water that causes the magic. Water alchemy is paramount in brewing. Here in Prince George, Pacific Western beers are created using natural spring water from the second largest aquifer in North America — a unique, pure source that ensures the quality and sparkle of all our products.

We took all the good that is going on in the BC restaurant industry right now with farm to table and applied it to beer, hence, farm to bottle.
