Ravens Distilling

Ravens is one of Abbotsford's most decorated craft producers, a family-owned, Indigenous-owned brewery and distillery that has been building community around great beer and spirits since 2014. Owned by Paul and Jocelyn Sweeting, Ravens operates as an Indigenous corporation with a clear focus on partnership, working closely with local suppliers to source as much as possible from close to home, including Abbotsford-grown hops, fruit and herbs and grains from BC's Peace River. That commitment to local sourcing carries through to both sides of the operation. On the distilling side, Ravens' flagship is a clean, well-made vodka, joined by a gin that leans on those same regional botanicals, with the lineup expanding as the company grows. The brewery, meanwhile, has earned an enviable reputation, consistently bringing home BC Beer Awards and even taking best Gose at the World Beer Cup, a testament to the care behind every batch. Visiting the Abbotsford tasting room lets you experience both the beer and the spirits in one welcoming stop, with knowledgeable staff to guide you through what's pouring. It's a relaxed, community-minded space in the heart of the Fraser Valley, an easy and worthwhile addition to a day spent exploring the region's breweries and distilleries. Whether you come for the award-winning beer, the locally sourced gin and vodka, or simply the chance to support a producer with deep local roots and a meaningful story, Ravens rewards the visit. Settle in, sample across the range, and pick up cans or a bottle to take home. Few places capture the collaborative, locally grounded spirit of Abbotsford craft beverage as completely as Ravens, where every pour reflects the valley that produced it.
