Pacific Western Brewing Company is a microbrewery in Prince George,B.C. It produces Ironhorse full-flavoured lager,a dark beer called Pacific Schwarzbock,and several other beers.

The brewmaster checks all of the ingredients before they are mixed together to make sure that each component is of the highest possible quality and rejects those that are not. After the beer has brewed,the brewmaster runs several tests on the beer to check for taste and clarity and throws out barrels that are cloudy and/or bitter.
