In the 90's, the brewery launched under the BEAR BREWING name and brewed the original WHISTLE BREWING CO. and BOWEN ISLAND BREWING CO. beers. BIG ROCK acquired the brewery 2002. They later became KAMLOOPS BREWING after an ownership change in 2005 (purchased by NorthAm Beverages from Big Rock Brewing). The BEAR BREWING brands were then phased out in favour of KB brands. ***NOTE: This is the listing for the beers that were brewed before the NorthAm Beverages acquisition and that weren't renewed.***
