Nestled between rugged peaks and ocean air, Squamish has quietly become a haven for craft lovers. The Squamish Craft Tasting Trail celebrates the town’s creative heart — a collection of small, passionate producers who turn local ingredients and mountain inspiration into memorable sips.

Along the trail, you’ll discover Backcountry Brewing, known for its adventurous IPAs and wood-fired pizzas; A-Frame Brewing Co., a cozy, cabin-style taproom that feels like sharing drinks with friends after a day on the slopes; and Northyards Cider Co., where crisp apple blends reflect the region’s orchard heritage. Each stop tells a story — of craftsmanship, community, and the joy of slowing down.

Spend an afternoon wandering from one tasting room to another, chatting with the makers, sampling limited releases, and taking in the view of snow-dusted peaks. Whether you prefer a smooth stout, a refreshing cider, or a bold experimental brew, the trail invites you to taste Squamish’s spirit — one pour at a time.

Where to Stay:
After a day of exploring, unwind at August Jack Motor Inn — your comfortable home base in downtown Squamish. Located within minutes of most tasting stops, it’s the perfect spot to rest, recharge, and plan your next day’s adventure.
