We’re about to sum up the best parts of summer in one sentence: road trips, pizza, pints, beautiful scenery, and good company. Now, let us tell you where you can find all of this in one great place. The next time you find yourself road tripping through the Crowsnest Pass, this cozy brewhouse is the ultimate reward you didn’t know you needed.
Blairmore sits in this beautiful region, where rugged wilderness meets small-town charm. And at the heart of it all? The Pass Beer Company. This cozy, welcoming spot has perfected the art of beer and wood-fired pizza. After a long day of hiking, biking, fishing, ATV’ing, or sightseeing, you will want to check out this place.
You think you’ve had good pizza? The pizza at The Pass is next-level. Their handmade dough, house-prepared sauces, and top-quality toppings create pies that are simultaneously crispy, chewy, cheesy, and packed with flavour. Every bite is delicious, especially after a long day in the outdoors.
The fan-favourite, Furious Meats, is a meat lover’s dream. It's loaded with pepperoni, salami, and bacon and finished with furious sauce. It’s hearty and satisfying, exactly what you crave after a big day, even if that day is just sitting in the car.
If you think the pizza sounds good, wait until you dive into the beer list. The beer here isn't just good, it's exceptional. The Pass Brew Company features a great selection of small-batch craft beers perfect for kicking back and soaking up the mountain town vibes. From the Aussie Pale Ale, the Bushtown Brown Ale, and the Cross Czech Pilsner to the playful Where She Gose, We Gose, which is a unique fruity pear and passionfruit gose, you really can’t go wrong.
Whether you’re craving a classic, something bold, or a refreshing fruity twist, the Pass Beer Company has a pint ready to pair perfectly with whatever is on your plate.
While the beer and pizza may steal the show, don't miss out on the sides. Their crispy, saucy chicken wings are legendary in the area. If you’re craving something extra Canadian, you’ll love their extensive poutine menu, a lineup of golden fries, cheese curds, and rich, savoury gravy, with plenty of creative twists.
The next time you explore the area, whether checking out Frank Slide, tackling hikes, or cruising along the legendary Highway 3, make the detour and stop at the Pass. It's casual, fun, and captures the wild and unforgettable spirit of the Crowsnest Pass perfectly.
