A small-batch, unfiltered nano-brewery in Maple Ridge with an outdoors-themed lineup: Day Use Cream Ale, Alder Flats Amber Ale, Picnic Area Summer Lager, Leave No Trace Salted Lime Lager, Switchback West Coast IPA, Lower Falls Juicy IPA, Spirea Citrus Kettle Sour and Hikers Beach Hefeweizen, poured in the tasting room and sold in bottles.
Switchback's packaged beer (HTS 2203.00.00, "Beer made from malt") can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty that applied from August 22, 2026. We found no public statement from the brewery about US sales; it sells mainly through its own tasting room.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026
You must be of legal drinking age in your province to buy alcohol. Rules on shipping alcohol between provinces vary, so buy from the maker directly or through your provincial liquor store. We only link to makers; nothing is sold on this site.
