We wholeheartedly believe in the power of food and drink as a catalyst for new memories, and to immerse us in cherished ones; inviting them back for a visit. It’s why our Christmas Beer, no matter the year, can always take you to the table where you had the best Christmas cake of your life; and why Tara’s Christmas Feastbound always tastes like it was made by someone who loves you.

Look - if I’m being perfectly honest, I don’t really subscribe to the mystical determination of astrological signs. I had a Grade 10 English teacher use my supposed Capricorn-ness as an insult that, quite frankly, still goes over my head, and I’ve sworn off the whole thing ever since.

Backpacker has been given a number of designations since its first release. It’s a gateway beer, an approachable step forward into some of the diverse flavours offered in craft brewing. It’s a sunshine beer, a background companion to a patio, park, or beach. Any wide range of activities where the weather is hot and refreshment in the form of a well stocked cooler is a must.

This is just a small glimpse into the day-to-day life at Eastbound through the pandemic. It’s only skimming over the personalities whose relentless positivity keeps the system driving forward. We’re endlessly thankful for the continued support of our community; you help keep a very clear vision of what we’re working towards.
