Rotating Cider

CIDER

SALT SPRING WILD: Salt Spring Wild developed out of a passion to create quality cider from the wild apples that grow on Salt Spring Island. Some of the apples in our blends are from 100-year-old heritage trees, some are from organic orchards, and some are from wild apple trees that live in farmer’s fields and along gentle roadsides, and that once fell with the breeze. Ask one of our friendly tasting room staff what we’re currently pouring.

About

Steel & Oak Brewing Co.

Steel & Oak Brewing Co. embodies the modernness of today while remaining dedicated to the craftsmanship of years long past. Materials of strength and durability, steel and oak; house, protect and nurture what we stand for most – exceptional tasting craft beer.

Using a mixture of North American, English and German brewing styles, techniques and ingredients, Steel & Oak explores new beer styles while constantly refining and perfecting the classics.

Always unfiltered, unpasteurized and made with the finest ingredients, Steel & Oak proudly returns the noble tradition of brewing quality beer to New Westminster.

New Westminster

As the oldest city in Western Canada, New Westminster has a long and rich history. Selected by the Royal Engineers for its beauty and strategic location along the banks of the Fraser River, New Westminster was established as the first capital of the then colony of British Columbia.

For over 150 years the Royal City has played an important role in the province and has been the site of many historical moments including; the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1885, the Great Fire of 1898, the creation of the Golden Mile in the late 40s and of course 143 years of brewing tradition along the mighty Fraser River.

At once historic and modern, New West is now a city bursting with award-winning parks and restaurants, art studios, neighbourhoods with character, hipsters on bicycles and most of all an amazing sense of community – we couldn’t be more proud to call New Westminster our home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are kids allowed in the Tasting Room?

Yep! We even have lemonade on tap for them!

Are dogs allowed in the Tasting Room?

Currently dogs are not allowed in the Tasting Room. This is a Fraser Health regulation and although we love dogs (we have two of our own) they have to stay outside drinking some fresh puppy water we provide.

What about food?

Snackables like charcuterie share plates and beef jerky are always available and you are more than welcome to bring your own food in!

Do you fill any growler from anywhere?

You bet, as long as it’s 1L or 2L and holds beer, we’ll fill it.

Do you sell kegs for private parties or weddings?

We do! Check the “Private Keg Sales” section of our site for availability and how to order.

Do you sell in bottles and cans or to liquor stores?

Yes! We will most likely be at the liquor store nearest you. If you live in BC that is.

Do you give brewery tours?

It all depends on our production schedule. However you can inquire about group tours by emailing cheers@steelandoak.ca.

Why do you run out of certain beers?

Currently our beer is enjoyed faster than we can make it. So from time to time we will be out of a certain style of beer for a little while.

Do you rent S&O out for special events?

We do not. We are a full production brewery which is constantly a hub of activity so for that reason we cannot rent it out.

Do you take reservations?

Sorry, we do not take reservations. However, people always seem to find a place to sit.
