Leslie just took the How Honest Are You Quiz and is Mostly Honest. I am Mostly Honest. You are mostly honest. You can occasionally stray from the truth, but it's mostly minor stuff, and often for good reasons. Not to worry... too much honesty can be bad for you.


Here's the blurb from my Howe Sound Nut Brown Rail Ale, which is a smooth, flavorful nut brown ale with hints of chocolate and licorice. Made with 100% barley, hops, water, and yeast. Named in recognition of the region's strong railway history and Squamish, BC's West Coast Railway Heritage Park - home of the Royal Hudson and western Canada's largest collection of heritage railway equipment. (5% alcohol)

Our Story: In 1980, BC's John Mitchell and Frank Appleton pioneered North America's first modern craft brewery at Horseshoe Bay on BC's spectacular Howe Sound, beginning what has become known as the craft brewing renaissance. In 1996, John Mitchell helped design the Howe Sound Brewery, and worked as our first brewer, developing our initial recipes. Known as the "grandfather of microbrewing in Canada," we are proud of his ongoing relationship with our brewery. Today, we continue to brew in the craft style, using unfiltered 100% barley mash. We pride ourselves in brewing a diverse selection of flavorful, well-balanced ales. We invite you to enjoy the experience.

Our Bottle: This re-closable bottle, known as a "pot-stopper," was widely used in Europe and North America prior to the 1950s. Our new combination cap is an innovative design that allows closure by both crown and swing caps. It can be reopened and meets our green packaging objectives.
