Mount Brew

Mount Brew is a rounded mountain in southwestern British Columbia, southwest of Whistler, that combines geologic significance with year-round recreation. Part of the Mount Cayley volcanic field in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt of the Canadian Cascade Arc, it formed in the Pleistocene when volcanic activity erupted beneath glacial ice during the last glacial period. Because the eruption was vigorous but brief, it did not build a larger volcano above the surrounding ice and meltwater, instead creating a subglacial mound. Near its summit, Brew Hut supports public access, and the surrounding alpine terrain is popular for summer hiking and winter and spring backcountry ski touring.
