What a result! We all got to have an amazing time, and the community gets to benefit. How wonderful is that. Congratulations to the whole team, volunteers, vendors, sponsors, and of course, Kyle and Sarah.

Campbell River, you came thirsty and were so generous!

We are so proud to announce that we have been able to donate even more than last year! Over $42,000! Wow! We are blown away. This amount also includes the 50/50 which was donated back by winner, Amanda Mailman. All proceeds have been given to the Campbell River Community Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who contributed and made this event such a success, from volunteers to attendees to sponsors to vendors.

That’s a wrap for this year. We’ll see you in March 2027!

Deserves to be put on tap in every craft beer bar in BC. Congrats to an amazing career, and just being one of the most genuine people this industry could ever ask for.

Post Secondary is going through a reckoning almost as much as the Craft Beer sector. This double-whammy is a tough thing to see.

Brewers Row just got a little bit shorter.

Thoughts go out to those affected.

Moody Ales & Co will be closing on December 14th. This was not an easy decision, and we want to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who has supported us, gathered with us, and enjoyed our beers over the years. To our incredible staff, our community, and all of you who have shared a pint with us along the way, we are truly grateful for every visit, every conversation, and every moment spent together.

Although our doors will be closing, you will still be able to find Moody beers out in the world at the liquor stores, pubs, and restaurants that have been proudly carrying our products over the years. We hope you continue to enjoy them wherever you find them.

Thank you for being part of the Moody Ales & Co story. It has meant more to us than we can say.
