Private Heli Beer Tasting Tour in Coast Mountains BC

Summary

Scenic Helicopter Flight & Craft Beer Experience near Vancouver

This is your chance to soar over British Columbia’s wild Coast Mountains by helicopter, land in total seclusion for a private craft beer tasting, and soak up glacier views you can’t get any other way. Taste locally brewed beers chosen to fit the alpine setting while your guide shares stories about this remote landscape.

What’s the experience like?

“You guys ready?” our pilot grinned as we stepped onto the tarmac, the faint smell of jet fuel mixing with cool mountain air. Within minutes, we were lifting off from the SKY hangar, Vancouver’s city lines shrinking fast behind us. The glassy lakes below caught the morning sun, and I could just make out tiny fishing boats drifting near the shore. My friend nudged me—she’d spotted a deer trail winding through the thick green forest far beneath.

The helicopter touched down on a patch of wild grass surrounded by nothing but silence and snow-dusted peaks. It was so quiet up there that even opening a can of beer sounded loud. Our guide unpacked a small crate—inside were chilled cans from a local brewery, each one picked to match the crisp air and mountain views. We tried a citrusy pale ale first; honestly, it tasted different up here, colder and sharper somehow.

We had half an hour to just sit back on smooth rocks, sip our beers, and take it all in. No cell service, no crowds—just us and the endless blue sky. The guide shared stories about how these mountains change with each season; apparently, some landing spots are only reachable for a few weeks every year because of melting snow. Before heading back, I grabbed one last look at the jagged ridges—already planning my next visit.
