Introducing #7 Steam Beer. It's a warm fermented amber lager originating in California. Notes of caramel, toffee and creme brulee accompany a light body and crisp finish. We brewed this beer in collaboration with Port Alberni's Western Vancouver Island Industrial Heritage Society to celebrate their fine work restoring the #7 Steam Engine and to draw attention to the derelict tracks.

Steam Locomotive
#7 Baldwin
Our main steam locomotive is the #7. It is a 1929 Baldwin 2-8-2ST Steam Locomotive, built at Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, USA. The #7 weighs 90 tons and has worked for many companies during its life. It was bought new by the Campbell River Timber Company in 1929 and is now the workhorse of our operation.
Would you like a tour of the Alberni Pacific Roundhouse and Railyard? Tours take you through the entire roundhouse explaining the history of the railway, our locomotives and equipment. You will also learn what it takes to operate and maintain these mighty machines.
Hop aboard a restored 1929 Baldwin 2-8-2 Steam Locomotive as you make your way across 12 crossings and over 2 big trestles to an old steam sawmill previously owned by R.B. McLean.
