Howe Sound Inn and Brewery in British Columbia

February 9, 2020 by Dustin Scoggins

Howe Sound InnThe Howe Sound Inn and Brewing Company is a character northwest inn located in the town center of Squamish, British Columbia, a scenic 45 minute drive north of Vancouver, and only 35 minutes south of the resort of Whistler.

The Inn offers a warm, casual atmosphere, where you can enjoy affordable accommodation, a great meal and a pint of real ale brewed on the premises. Throughout the hotel, you will enjoy artwork, photography and information on the region’s heritage, natural history and recreational opportunities. The inn is located at 37801 Cleveland Avenue in the Squamish Town Centre at the very end of Cleveland Avenue.

History of Brewing in Howe Sound
Howe Sound offers gorgeous views of the Stawamus Chief, Western Canada’s premiere rock climbing venue. The inn is a minute’s walk from downtown shops, the local marina and the Squamish Estuary. The estuary offers excellent walking and running trails, and is a site for great birding opportunities all year

Over a century ago breweries dotted British Columbias landscape. Hop farming flourished and the Squamish Valley Hop Ranch supplied hops to the British Empire. With the advent of Prohibition, the number of breweries and hop farms dwindled. By the 1970s only a few large breweries remained.

In 1980, BCs John Mitchell and Frank Appleton pioneered North America’s first modern craft brewery at Horseshoe Bay on BCs spectacular Howe Sound. This began what has become known as the craft brewing renaissance.

In 1996, John Mitchell helped design the Howe Sound Brewery and worked as Howe Sound’s first brewer developing our initial recipes. Known as the ‘grandfather of micro-brewing in Canada’, we are proud of his ongoing relationship with our brewery. Today, the brewery continues to brew in the craft style using unfiltered 100% barley mash. We pride ourselves in brewing a diverse selection of flavorful, well-balanced ales.
