ENVIRONMENTAL
Our locally-made brewhouse uses up to 35% less natural gas, doubles brewing capacity, and cuts boil time by 60% for energy savings. Spent grain is collected three times weekly to feed Fraser Valley livestock, avoiding landfill. Since 2019, we’ve used recycled box 6-packs and ended high carbon-footprint bottle production.

Our Story
It all started in 2012.
In a world where ordinary jobs kept them confined, three friends—Anthony Frustagli, Nick Paladino, and Mike Sleeman—dared to dream of something extraordinary. It was 2012 when they decided to leave their cushy day jobs and dive headfirst into the unknown, united by a single, ambitious vision: to create their own craft brewery.
But their journey needed more than just ambition. They required a technical genius to bring their ideas to life. Enter Graham With, a revered Vancouver homebrewer whose expertise would become the cornerstone of their fledgling enterprise.
Next, they sought a seasoned sales lead to champion their cause and spread the word far and wide. Michael Tod stepped into this crucial role, bringing with him the relentless passion of craft beer aficionado Scott Venema. Together, this formidable team of six became the founding force behind Parallel 49 Brewing Company.
Our Commitment
Fast forward to today.
This is the story of Parallel 49 Brewing Company—a journey of friendship, ambition, and the unyielding pursuit of a shared dream. From the beginning, their commitment has been clear: to make great beer accessible to all, offering unparalleled products and outstanding customer service fueled by their deep love for craft beer.
