Cant really speak for their beers as i only had a sip of their ‘candy shop’ sour (which tasted fine and def more on the sweet end as the name implies). Their pizzas though are just okay. Got the forager and while the portion size was great, wish they had abit of spice to add some dimensionality to the creamy/cheesy pizza.
Fantastic vibe, excellent service and such a variety of beers, there’s something for everyone! We stopped here on vacation through from Whistler and it did not disappoint. Happy to see it bumping for lunch on a Thursday too. Highly recommend.
The beer and the pizza are great, although I do have to note that the service is usually nonchalant. Beware if you purchase to-go beer cans and merch with your meal, you will be asked to pay at least 18% tip on whole bill (including the price of the to-go beer + tax). I would suggest buying the beers separately.
Cool place! My husband really liked their beers. He got them from Angry Otter. Today, we came to Squamish and he said I have a place I really wanted to visit. The staff are so nice, cool atmosphere, relaxing time for the whole family to sit and drink plus enjoy their delicious foods. Thanks a lot! See you again
We enjoyed our pizza. It was a little windy to sit outside, which was a shame. The staff were happy, efficient and accommodating. Our beer flights were good and their names were amusing. I'm from Australia, and found a T-shirt to add to my collection.😁
We stopped in for a flight and shared the meat lovers pizza, it was incredible! The service was quick and seamless, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. They have definitely perfected beer and sours in particular! Would absolutely come back
This place had the perfect vibe for a drink after a hike. Service was not great and it definitely wasn’t too busy. Pizza was amazing, sandwich was great, salad was not good at all. I definitely think it could have been a better overall experience, but it was okay.
While here I tried the Meat Your Maker meat lovers, and a Margherita pizza, which were both amazing. We also tried the Fuzzy Peach Sour and Dead of Night IPA which I would also recommend. The service was also really really good. Lovely spot in Squamish for food and drinks!
Best place in town for beers and pizzas!!! Kudos to the kitchen and every staff team!
Great beer, fun staff
Good beer, great service, fun atmosphere
Amazing brewery!!! Top in squamish! Absolutely loved their beers! STRAWBERRIES N CREAM FRUITED SOUR is my favourite! 12/10
Great!
Of the thousands of beers I ve bought and drank in BC, there is no one that makes a hazy (and other ipas) as delicious as Backcountry. Their Za is also not to be missed, dough is chewy and wonderful, pairs nicely with their Caesar salad.
A lovely spot for a bit with an extensive selection of beers and great comfort favorites. Also kickass view.
Amazing beer, amazing food!
Amazing place! Best beers in town
Loved the food and beers! We will be back son
Best beer ever!
Refrain from attempting the cheeseburger pizza, as it was the most inferior pizza I have ever encountered. The aroma of uncooked meat and the absence of freshness were particularly unappealing.
I am so impressed with this place. Some of the best sours I have ever tried. Jojo, our server, was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend the pizzas; the dough was out of this world! Will definitely be coming back! Update: And we did come back. This place continued to be amazing. Had some really great new sours on tap. Really liked the black current plum sour. Insane.
Pizza crust was sooo good. Got the prosciutto, artichoke, olive and mushroom one. We devoured the whole thing. The beers are great too. It was a great stop as we were charging our EV around the corner. Will come again!
We love coming here for the pizza! And putting together a multipack of beer!! Great place to be!
Great beer, great pizza, free sticker
Always a great time. Great staff, great atmosphere, awesome beer Keep doing your thang!
Best beer and pizza I have found! Friendly staff. A must in Squamish.
Pizza is very good and paired with a beer you really cant go wrong. I wish the young muscle guy would lighten up hes kinda a debbie downer with an attitude. Dude you are lucky to have a job here...

Delicious pizza, beautiful space, and fantastic beer. A must visit if you re in Squamish for the day or spending time in Whistler!
Our favorite brewery on our trip. The wings were amazing, great beer and such a cool atmosphere. Service was also great! Certainly recommend. We travel to breweries everywhere and highly rate this one so keep up the great work!
Food is decent . Pizza is good. Has potential to be really good but just kissing the mark still probably best in town at least
Pizza and beer were excellent. Nice vibe
Very busy place but once we got a seat, there were plenty of great beer and food choices for our large party. The wait staff were great and despite the full restaurant, things were served efficiently. Everyone thought the good and beer were top notch and ended up buying more beer for home!
Great pizza, great beer, great vibes!
Great pizza, great beer, friendly staff!
Very solid beer and excellent pizza!
Awesome pizza, great beers! Regular Squamish spot
Hazy IPAs were, without exception, excellent in a part of BC where such options do not abound. Widowmaker as the flagship brew and Maple Bay were our top picks, and others in the same style were excellent as well.
Best of the best!!
Cool vibe, tried just one beer waiting for the highway to reopen. The pizza that the table beside us were having looked and smelled so good. We just had dinner and came for drinks
Great Beer Great Service Decided not to eat but all the pizzas looked great !
Amazing beer and the pizzas are to die for!
Excellent za and brews!
A must do every time we re in Squamish! The best pizza and selection of beer. We are never disappointed.
Stopping on our way back from Whistler. Great spot for excellent beer
Amazing beer love this joint
Wide range of beer selection indeed. But only simple fast food to choose from. People working there are very kind.
Nick is awesome. Staff is so friendly. Love the vibes here. Also, they have the best chicken wings!
Best been around Vancouver! And Maya is the best!
Staff pizza and Beer! All amazing Hazy Pale Ale and Hawaian 5.0 best of the best
The ultimate cheat meal =burger and pizza in one. The newest pizza on the menu is the Royale with Cheese Cheeseburger. All the toppings of a Big Mac, but on pizza was so delicious! Amazing selection of beer, and lots of seating. Perfect spot for brews and bites
Staff members are elite- great humour and great service. Awesome environment and cool merch shop! Would recommended
Nice, friendly brewery. Great selection of beers. The hazy pale ale was very good as well as the German pilsner. A must stop when traveling through Squamish.
Best brewery around! Staff are amazing and pizza is so delicious.
Lovely patio. Great beer. Tasty pizza.
Great lager and cider options but predominantly a IPA lover s haven. Pizza and snacks also top quality.
After some discussion with my partner we early gave this place a 5 star rating. Family friendly, excellent service, food is on point, pricing is fair for quantities, and nice setting. Of course last but not least great beer lineup.
Great beer, awesome staff, superb pizzas !
I ll take you to the candy shop fuzzy peach sour is the best beer! Great brewery, worth checking out. #Squamishbc #backcountrybrewing
BCB slaps.
Awesome beer selection hard to choose because they all sounded good. For today my fav were widowmaker and shark repellent! It was sunny Sunday so the place was busy with fun vibe. The service was excellent quick and attentive.
Good selection of beers (really enjoyed the spicy mango margarita sour) but really they only have pizza so not a large food selection if coming in to eat.
The six of us had pizzas, salad, beer and cider! It was fantastic! A great stop on our BC tour.
The best brewery
Super cool place, great interior vibe and decor, small outdoor patio area. Selection of beer was extensive and bought a mix pack to go. Had a hazy ipa which was really great. However, giving 3 stars as they aren t dog friendly on their patio. Seems so hit and miss in BC unlike Alberta and Ontario. If travelling with a Pet, go to A-Frame Brewing just down the road. They are dog friendly on their patio.
Great place for a drink. Best pizza in town
Amazing pizza and passionfruit sour! Will be back for sure and soon!
It s a good place to get a drink but twice now I ve ordered a vegan meal (due to allergies) and been served a non vegan meal and had to wait for them to remake it. I ll just grab a drink in the future!
We had some incredible pizza and delicious beers at Backcountry! The patio was a beautiful spot to enjoy our food and beverages and we came out with some awesome merch to document our visit! I would highly recommend a visit!!!
Came here for a flight and pizza after a hike in the area and both were delicious. The pizza dough was a+, as was the spicy mango sour
Great maple Bay IPA. Excellent personal service. Very professional.
Visited here in early August for the first time. Really cool space, with great staff and excellent beers.
Pizza was great and so was the sour and IPA we had! Nice staff!
Great pizza and the Mild English beer is awesome.
Great beer! Strange women is my favourite sour beer now. Mushroom pizza was delicious and the environment is cozy and nice. Totally want to come back!

If you re looking for some great drinks and food, this is the spot to be! Big shout out to Emily, 5/5 service.
My friends ate the pizzas and they looked amazing!! The drink sélection was Nice too.
Everyone that works here is an absolute gem of a human. I ve never had a server that wasn t kind and genuine. Pizza is amazing, beer is excellent, and if I didn t live here in Vancouver I d be here all the time. I think my last server was Bree she was a star!
Good
Excellent IPA beers. Great service also. We really enjoyed the backcountry chicken wing salt & pepper with sauce on the side. Pizza was good but could have a little more cheese in my opinion definitely recommend this place.
Great vibes, brew, and pizza! Would highly recommend!
Excellent beers, great pizza!
Great beer and great review!
Backcountry is a must enjoy opportunity! Great service better beer and amazing food!!
Awesome beer and wings!! Staff was excellent:)
Great food, great beer, great service! Love looking at all the different can designs as well!
We usually enjoy their beers, but our first visit to the brewery will likely be our last. We had to wait a long time at the door before anyone showed us to a table, even though there were open spots. Then, our fries took forever to arrive, and when they finally did, they were old and stale! I asked them if they can change it, and after a long wait, they brought us another fries with the same quality. To top it off, I just noticed they charged us for two fries! The whole experience was really disappointing.
Great place for pizza and beer!
Great pizza, beer and atmosphere. We ve been before and will be again.
Beer bangers - best place for the thirsty man in search for refreshments.
Champ visit!! All the way from Washington DC!!!
Amazing beers. Great stop after a hike
Cool spot, one of the girl servers was lovely but rude service from male server. Not really worth the cold wait outside for a table. Definitely better brewerys in town.
Best beer in town
Best beer in all of Squam. Others don t compare. Get the forager pizza.
Tasty beers and the best pizza in Squamish!
Very good beer, excellent place and atmosphere. But the bad and aggressive attention. They delivered the food to us without utensils, without asking us if we needed anything else. We had to ask each other. Furthermore, when they were about to close, they took our glasses in a very rude manner, without mentioning anything to us and there were even more people in the premises. Disappointing.
Very good beer, service is very good. Would definitely recommend.
I got the sour flight, all of them were great but the sour mango was my favorite!! Such a cool spot with a great selection of beers!
Our happy place
Great pizza. Amazing staff. Great variety Of beers
Great beers, all flavors! Pizza was fantastic! The sauce boss is the bomb.

Widow maker!!!

Delicious pizza and great beer! Great atmosphere, child friendly and nice staff!

Best pizza ever and love the IPAs and Pale ales

Great Pizza, even better Beer! One of me and my partner s favourite spots on the sea to sky corridor for food. Whether it s coming down from whistler after a day on the boards, or heading up to go camping!
Amazing pizza!
Amazing experience great service. Beer selection is stellar! Definitely try the pizzas while you re there! One of the best in the area!
A variety of beers that are always worth trying and the pizzas are delicious
Best hot sauce in town.
Exceptional. The chicken sandwich might be the best one I ve ever had, the pizza is spectacular. They absolutely nailed the crust and the beer is on point.
Great food, drinks and service!
Great beers great food.
Great service and great pizza. The atmosphere has a very cool vibe to it. Two indoor sections plus an outdoor patio. My friends the had beers were very impressed.
This little brewery was so cute, with such kind service, and incredible tasting beer. Thanks backcountry brewery!
Great beer, great playlist. Pizza is also yummy! We probably had one of the best beer flights of our lives here (the IPAs and guava sours were so good!)
Widow maker and ricotta dip were amazing
Awesome beer and friendly service will be back next time im back in squamish
I love the beer here. It is so tasty and comes fast! It s got a wide range of drinks from light to strong and hoppy. The pizza is my life 100%. Especially margharita. My kids love it here too. (Written by my kid)
Travelling from New England, Backcountry provided such a great experience of tasting flights, full pours and food, and then their beer names & cans provide great conversation starters and nostalgia. 10/10 would recommend the beer as well as the brewery experience!!
Delicious beer!! Super friendly staff :)
Great beer selection & pizza, awesome vibes after a hike or day out riding, super friendly staff, highly recommend!
Delicious beer and super cool design inside. Loving the vibes!
Great pizza, great beers, beautiful view of the mountains!!
Cannot speak more highly of our experience here at the brewery! We came as a group of 5 (awkward size) and were seated right away despite it being very busy! Our waitress was so lovely and did her best to find some of the group a beer that would enjoy! The take you to the candy shop sour was delicious! Tasted like I was eating fuzzy peaches. Plus you really cannot beat being in Squamish and having the mountains surround you! Highly recommend stopping here for either a bite to eat or a couple beers! Especially since their beer list is quite large.
Fantastic brewery/restaurant. Sours are delicious and the names/descriptions are hilarious. Highly recommend the chicken wings and pizza too!!!
Amazing post hike pizza with lush beers that we had as a taster, really attentive service! Will be back!
Food and service were amazing! Pizzas were so good! Great selection of craft beers! A great spot
Excellent beer & pizza! Highly recommend a stop if you re in Squamish.
Excellent food and beer! Highly recommend the Soprano sandwich - amazing homemade fresh focaccia!
Great place. Loved it.
Awesome lunch and fantastic playlist!! You gotta come here!!!!
One of the best breweries I ve been to and I ve lived in Colorado.
An excellent Pilsner. Yummy chicken sandwich. Glad I came by.
Really loved this space, the amazing sours, the staff, the pizza. All around a great evening.
Pizza was great! Beer was solid but I ve definitely had better. People were very accommodating and I felt I had great service. Music seemed slightly annoying, and it was a mildly stuffy atmosphere.
We stopped here twice on our weeklong trip to Whistler. The beer is so good and the food is delicious: fresh salads, homemade pizza (perfect crust) and great wings! Don t change a thing!
Mikko was amazing, great service, food and beer. Cheers
Excellent pizza, beer, and ambience! Our family loved being here and enjoying the space!
Awesome beer and great atmosphere
Best beer place in British Columbia.

One of our favourite breweries -solid sours for people who dont want too sour of a sour Favourites are the fuzzy peach and pineapple basil
Amazing pizza! Great beer!
Smashing, showstopping, stupendous
Great experience! Good food and beer!!!
Great food and beer stop!!
Very good vibe and the beer as well as the food was amazing!

Lovely place, great food and service, the beer wasnt too expensive and a nice amount of choices.
The Forager pizza was delicious and the beer was perfectly smooth. It was a wonderful stop after a day of hiking. Definitely will be back!
