    Great article on the recent awards for BC Breweries! Looks like Hastings Mill Brewing Company got omitted from the flavoured stout/porter Category which it received Gold. Hastings Mill Brewing Company is formally Pat’s Pub & Brewhouse recently expanded with the installation of an onsite brew house. Feel free to check us out online or get in touch anytime. Cheers!
