Rossland Beer Company

An award-winning nano-brewery tucked away in the Southwest kootenays.

While Ryan Arnaud and Petri Raito ran a local U-Brew company called Trail Brewing they realized there was great demand for craft beer in their area. So the two best friends purchased a small nanobrewery system from a brewery in North Vancouver that was expanding and opened Rossland Beer Company. Since then they were able to expand to a bigger system built for them by Specific Mechanical.

It’s a small operation with a tasting room that overlooks the brewing area in the basement below, along with a small patio outside that’s perfect for sunny days. Folks come right off the world-class mountain bike trails or ski slopes to sit back, unwind, and enjoy every sip. Locals and visitors enjoying the nearby Red Mountain Ski Resort definitely love the beer being served at the brewery, and so did the judges at the Canadian Brewing Awards, who awarded Rossland’s Seven Summits Milk Stout a gold medal in 2015.

Ways to Support Craig

A good day on the trail turns into a long night of work. Cards to back up, footage to cut, uploads crawling over whatever signal a small town can spare. Behind that sit the subscriptions, the drives, the fuel and a lot of gas station coffee.

It all runs on donations now. If any of this has saved you a wrong turn or got you out the door, you decide what that was worth. Not everyone can chip in, and that's fine. If you can, it goes straight back into the road.
