Fernie’s Huckleberry Wheat Beer
To celebrate Summer & the wild Huckleberry picking season, Fernie Brewing Company has come up with a delicious Huckleberry Wheat Beer called ‘What the Huck’.
Native to the Rocky Mountain region, the Huckleberry is prized for its sweetness and deep colour. When blended with wheat, it creates a smooth and creamy beer, with a light touch of huckleberries.
As a Micro-Brewery, Fernie Brewing Company can be creative with their brews. “Being able to brew unique & interesting brews is really what being a microbrewery is all about”, says Murray Pask, Sales Manager for Fernie Brewing Company. Pask adds, “We used real huckleberries in the fermentation process, allowing the beer to ’sit’ on the berries. The result is a great session beer, perfect for our Fernie patio season. And Huckleberries… it really doesn’t get more local than that.’
‘What the Huck’ is available on tap in Fernie, and in select locations in the East Kootenays.
In addition to Huckleberry, Fernie Brewing Company has three great year-round beers. Rocky Mountain Genuine Lager, Griz Pale Ale and First Trax Brown Ale are available on tap in the Kootenays, in 6-pack cans throughout BC & Alberta. Fernie Brewing Company is a member of the Craft Brewers Association of BC.
Brewed just a Huck, Skip and a Jump from Fernie’s fine dining establishments, at 26 Manitou Road, Fernie BC. Store hours are Monday through Friday 1pm - 5pm, and Brewery Tours run every Friday at 3PM.
