We specialize in unique and balanced brews with local flair. Where'd we get the name?? "Bear Island" is a fictitious name based on a family story. When young, the Westover children were afraid of running into a bear up at their cabin in Cascade, ID. So their parents told them that all of the bears would chase the deer out onto the frozen lake in the winter, where the bears would get tired and hibernate. When they woke up in the spring, the lake had thawed, the deer were gone and the bears were stuck out there! Hence the nickname of "Bear Island." So we named our brewery after our story. (And now that we are older, we believe the bears just sit out there and drink craft beer, it only makes sense).

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Navy!

For 251 years, the Navy has been protecting our shores, navigating rough waters, and proving that "a smooth sea never made a skilled sailor."

As our way of saying thank you, we're offering $2 off every pint to every active-duty sailor and Navy Veteran today.

We appreciate everything you've done to keep our nation strong and free. Fair winds, following seas, and cheers!
