Mt Begbie Brewing Co, Revelstoke

Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. is located in beautiful Revelstoke, a small town with rich history, in the heart of British Columbia’s spectacular Columbia mountain range. The company is named after Mt. Begbie, a majestic glacial mountain that dominates the Revelstoke skyline. In turn, the mountain is named after Matthew “Hanging Judge” Begbie, a colorful character from Revelstoke’s early history, who probably would have benefited from a sip of Mt. Begbie’s soothing ales before rendering his judgements. Mt. Begbie Brewing Co. products are available on tap in most pubs and restaurants in British Columbia’s interior. They are also available in bottles in most liquor stores. Kosch, in cans was introduced in the summer of 2009.
