Introducing our FVIPA in bottles at a special Brewmaster Dinner!

Mission Springs Brewing Company’s Trailblazer Pilsner wins GOLD at The Canadian Brewing Awards.

Head Brewer, Kevin Winter is glowing after a late night celebration of it's most recent success.  He was honoured with a Canadian Brewing Award distinction.  The company took GOLD for Trailblazer Pilsner.

The Canadian Brewing Awards have emerged as the premiere competition for judging the quality of Canadian brewed beer.  A Canadian Brewing Awards medal is a widely recognized symbol of brewing excellence in Canada.

“Nationally, this is the biggest competition for us brewers and it's just such an honour to be recognized for our hard work and dedication,” said head brewer Kevin Winter, "We're very proud, excited and looking forward to a great summer of selling and drinking fantastic beer!"

The crisp and refreshing Trailblazer Pilsner beer is an ode to the rugged trail builders who have blazed mountain bike trails into the hillsides all over BC. We brewed this beer to quench your thirst after a tough day in the saddle. Partial proceeds go to mountain bike trail stewardship, The FVMBA, Fraser Valley Mountain Biking Association.

“I could not be more proud of our team,” said owner Brock Rodgers. “Two years ago we made a commitment to upgrade our team and our equipment and clearly it is paying off.”

Mission Springs Brewing Company opened its doors in October of 1996. The brewery is a 10 bbl brew house constructed by Newlands Inc., overlooking the Fraser River, in Mission. The brew house setup is comprised of a brew kettle with a combination mash/lauter tun, three open-top fermenters and three uni-conical fermenters. In addition, there are thirteen conditioning/serving tanks for the ten+ beers on tap hidden down in the cellar. We use a single temperature infusion mashing program to produce big flavour and wonderfully balanced beers. 

A fully automated 6-head filling machine is used for bottled beer sales, which we sell in our very own liquor store here on location, as well as many other fine establishments throughout the Fraser Valley. We are in the midst of expanding our brewery with first three of eight brand new 3600L outdoor tanks, a grain silo, a 2400L packaging bright tank and a new HLT up in the brewhouse. Exciting times ahead here at Mission Springs.
