Squamish “The Adventure”

A-Frame Brewing

Inspired by a family A-Frame cabin on Lake Okanagan, A-Frame Brewing was born. Far from it’s inception on the lake, A-Frame is located in the Sea To Sky Corridor. However, Andrew, the A-Frame Brewmaster, remains inspired by his family retreats to the Okanagan and instills that into his recipes.

A-Frame is a wonderful blend of crisp Okanagan tastes and Coastal Mountain culture. Each beer is named after a BC lake, perfect for the adventurous beer lover.
