Frequently asked questions

What is the best-rated craft brewery in British Columbia?

Three Lakes Brewing currently tops our British Columbia ranking with a combined 5.0 out of 5 across BreweryFinder and Google Reviews. Rankings use a Bayesian weighted score so this reflects both rating quality and review volume, not just a single glowing review.

How many craft breweries are in British Columbia?

BreweryFinder tracks 254 active craft breweries in British Columbia. Of those, 15 have enough combined review volume to rank on this list.

What data are these rankings based on?

These rankings combine 3,305 public reviews collected from Google Reviews (via the Google Places API) with reviews written directly on BreweryFinder.ca. Each brewery's score is a Bayesian weighted average that balances rating quality against review volume, so a brewery with 500 reviews averaging 4.7 outranks one with a handful of perfect scores.

How often are the British Columbia brewery rankings updated?

Rankings refresh every 30 days when we re-fetch Google Reviews data (Google's Places API terms cap review caching at ~30 days). BreweryFinder community reviews are counted the moment they're posted, so scores can shift between refreshes as new reviews come in.

Google Reviews are cached under Google's Places terms and refreshed at least every 30 days. Read the full methodology →
