Things at Fernie Brewing Company are busy! In fact, so busy, they had to build themselves a new Brewery! Fernie Brewing Company's new Brewhouse is cleverly located along the highway on the East side of Fernie, at 26 Manitou Road. The new location is designed to allow visitors to stop in for a brewery tour, or purchase some Brewery apparel, or a 6-pack of beer, on their way into town. The new Brewhouse production area is triple the size of their previous space, with new fermentation tanks, a state of the art water filtration system and increased capacity for their new 6-pack Rocky Mountain Genuine Lager cans.

New Brewery Now Open

Some might be wondering - what took Fernie Brewing so long to move? "We've been brewing like crazy!" Don Moore, Fernie Brewing's Head Brewer, "Strong Summer sales in Victoria and the Lower Mainland made it nearly impossible for us to shut down for the move. But, we took the plunge and now all production is happening at the new Brewhouse." Fernie Brewing Company sells its 6-pack cans throughout all of BC and Alberta. They have hired 2 Sales Agencies in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island to promote their 6-packs.

This new location is conveniently located along the highway, entering Fernie. "Our highway location will give our brand great exposure", says Lenka Hawrys, Marketing Manager for Fernie Brewing Company, "It's great incentive to try it on tap at our local restaurants & pubs. And hopefully they'll remember Fernie Brewing Company when they see it on the shelves at their local Liquor Store in Calgary or Victoria." Fernie Brewing Company cans are sold in Liquor Stores, Restaurants and Golf Courses throughout BC & Alberta.

With the expansion of the brewery, Fernie Brewing will be launching their new Rocky Mountain Genuine Lager in 6-pack cans, just in time for the Transrockies Race in Fernie. With their new water filtration system and a revamped recipe, the Lager is a continental style lager, with peaks of flavour built in a longer aging process.

Fernie Brewing Company will be attending Canada's Largest Beer Festival the Great Canadian Beer Festival in Victoria, on September 7 & 8th. Since attending last year's festival, Fernie Brewing Company's sales on Vancouver Island have quadrupled. "Last year's event was a great way to introduce our product to Victoria's Craft Beer drinkers. Vancouver Island is now our second biggest market in BC, and they definitely know their beer in Victoria," states Murray Pask, Sales Manager for Fernie Brewing Company.
