A Metro Vancouver hospitality group has purchased one of B.C.’s oldest craft breweries, located in the Sea to Sky region.
The Viaggio Hospitality Group announced that it acquired full ownership Howe Sound Inn and Brewing in Squamish.
The craft brewery and 20-room hotel was established in 1996.
The late John Mitchell, known as “the grandfather of Canadian craft beer” (who died in North Vancouver in 2019), served as the first brewer.
Mitchell developed the brewery s original flavours and recipes, and the company which serves an array of ales, lagers, and stouts in its brewpub and across Canada went on to win awards at the Canadian Brewing Awards, North American Brewer s Awards, and the B.C. Beer Awards.
Portland Brewing To Close Its Northwest Portland Brewery
After closing its onsite taproom and restaurant over two years ago,
Portland Brewing will permanently close and cease brewing operations at its brewery in Northwest Portland on February 5, 2021. This location also brews beers for
Pyramid Brewing and this brand will continue on as a few of its brands will be brewed elsewhere.
Portland Brewing first came on the scene as one of the original Oregon breweries of the modern craft beer movement. The brewery was founded in 1986 by Art Larrance, Fred Bowman and Jim Goodwin at the corner of NW Flanders and 14th. Portland Brewing eventualy vacated this location to build a larger facility in the Portland’s Northwest Industrial area. The brewery’s original location went on to become the Rogue Public House for a run that lasted 20 years until it closed down in September 2020.
