We opened our doors in Squamish, BC on July 26, 1996.  The founders of the business were Stephen Shard, David Fenn and the Fenn family.  Stephen Shard left the company in 2001, and today the company remains a family owned enterprise.

We operate out of a beautiful, wooden craft style building, build for our purposes.  The inn consists of a pub, restaurant, banquet room, 20 guest rooms and microbrewery.  The brewery distributes products under the Howe Sound name to over 300 stores and pubs in BC.  In 2009, we began shipments to our beer to the United States and Alberta.
