Slightly off the beaten path, this place is great. Good people and good beer. Small indoor seating area is cozy and windows provide a view of the actual brewery kettles.
Recommended for a quick diversion if coming or going to Whistler Village. Great variety of beers and super friendly staff.k8brit says:
