What you will visit:
Wheelhouse Brewing Company
Prince Rupert has enthusiastically embraced the burgeoning craft brewery movement that has captured the nation's attention. Within a short span of time, the Wheelhouse Brewing Company has emerged as a cornerstone of the local pub culture. Upon arrival at the waterfront brewery, you'll engage in an exclusive VIP experience. Ascend to the second floor for a special "sneak peek," providing a distinctive vantage point of the bustling production area from the mezzanine. Observe the intricacies of the active brewhouse and witness the fascinating brewing and packaging processes in action. Following the brewhouse tour, indulge in a curated plank of locally crafted beers for tasting.
What you will see along the way:
Your 15-minute walk begins at the cruise ship terminal and takes you along the Millennium Walkway which lines Prince Rupert Harbour. Take in the beautiful shoreline vistas and note the wall of plaques in memory of those who lived by and loved the sea. Your guide will regale you with tales of local history on the way to the Wheelhouse Brewing Company.
Tasting:
Following the brewhouse tour, enter the VIP wardroom, offering panoramic views of the harbor, and indulge in a curated plank of locally crafted beers for tasting. Each plank includes four 5-ounce glasses of beer, accompanied by detailed background information and tasting notes provided by your guide. Be prepared for engaging discussions on brewing techniques, ingredients and the rich history of beer production, complemented by delectable pizza bites. At the conclusion of the experience, walk back to the ship or linger independently to purchase additional beverages or explore the lunch menu.
