Celebrating a passion for the outdoors and the local community.

In the spring of 2015, Maple Ridge welcomed its first craft brewery, Maple Meadows Brewing. Then, in the fall of 2023, the brewery changed hands, becoming Switchback Brewing and marking the beginning of an exciting new adventure for its new owners, Chad and Amanda Bergen.

Mixing two decades of homebrewing experience with a passion for the great outdoors and the friendly local community, the Bergens’ journey began with homebrewing in small apartments, basements, cluttered garages, and even while camping on Rathtrevor Beach! Encouraged by friends and family who’ve enjoyed their concoctions through the years, Chad and Amanda were spurred on to realize their dream of owning and operating a brewery of their own.

Their love for crafting great beer is intertwined with a profound love for nature. As avid outdoor enthusiasts and with Chad’s ultramarathon pursuits, their sense of adventure and love for the outdoors is often showcased in the recipes they create.

Proud members of Maple Ridge’s local community since 2010, the Bergens prioritize giving back to their community by supporting local farmers, other local small businesses, and by bringing people together over a pint of good beer.
