Tour and Taste

Whether it’s the youthful populace, the endless party vibe or simply the need for a refreshing après after a day of biking or hiking, Whistler is definitely a beer- loving community. Both of Whistler’s local breweries offer education along with their suds, so check out a brewery tour at The Brewhouse or the Whistler Brewing Company. Every Thursday and Saturday at 3pm, Derrick Franche, The Brewhouse’s Head Brewer, leads free tours of his in- house brewery. The tour takes about half an hour and includes a complimentary tasting. The Brewhouse is located in Village North, next to the Olympic Plaza. The Whistler Brewing Company conducts tours of their brewery, located in Function Junction, from Tuesday to Saturday at 2: 30pm and 4pm. An admission fee of $ 13.95 includes the brewery tour and a tasting flight of fine Whistler brews. The brewery’s Tap House serves wraps, pizzas, appies and more, many of which include beer!
