Backcountry Brewing suits a thin-crust pizza and a pint after a day out, and its tasting room sits in Squamish's Northyards about 3 km north of downtown in a straight line. Plan on a drive or a bike ride from the centre.
What to order
- A hand-tossed thin-crust pizza
- Widowmaker Hazy IPA
Tourism Squamish describes a 50-seat tasting room dressed like a ski cabin from the 1970s, and a 12-tap tower pours rotating seasonal beers. The kitchen makes its food from scratch, and the menu centres on hand-tossed thin-crust pizza with seasonal salads and snacks. Widowmaker Hazy IPA took silver for Best IPA at the 2025 Canadian Brewing Awards. Cider and non-alcoholic drinks sit on the list for anyone off beer.
You can carry a pizza out and fill a growler or two at the counter for a night in. Kegs and off-sales go out from the same retail shop. The brewery sits in the Northyards business park off Commercial Way, so check the day's hours before you make the trip from downtown.
Worth knowing
- Call 604-567-2739 to check the day's hours before you go, because Tourism Squamish's 2026 listing leaves them out.
