A Brewery That Shows Up
In New Westminster, BC, some businesses do more than open their doors. They step out into the community.
Steel & Oak Brewing Co. is one of them.
This year, the local brewery is once again supporting the Rotary Club of New Westminster’s Bevies & Bites fundraiser. The event helps fund programs like Don’t Go Hungry and other Rotary initiatives that support families and youth in the Royal City.
For Steel & Oak, being part of the event is simple. It is about showing up and giving back to the city that supports them.
Built for the Royal City
From the beginning, the brewery was created to serve more than beer. The owners, both born and raised in New Westminster, wanted to build a gathering place. Not just a business.
Over time, their tasting room has become exactly that. A welcoming space where neighbours run into each other. Where families feel comfortable. Where regulars are greeted by name.
“It doesn’t feel like a bar,” Jordan shared during a recent chat. “It feels more like a place where people can come and connect.”
That connection extends beyond their Third Avenue doors.
Brewing and Backing Local
When Steel & Oak heads to Bevies & Bites, they usually bring three different styles. Variety matters.
Guests can expect Royal City Ale, a light and approachable classic named after New Westminster itself. It is a crowd-pleaser and a natural fit for the event. An IPA is almost always on tap too, because as Jordan put it, “people love an IPA.”
They may also bring something a little different, like a Red Pilsner, to give guests a chance to try something new.
Rotary is just one of many community partnerships. Steel & Oak also supports events like Fridays on Front, Pride Festival, the New West Film Fest, and Arts Council initiatives. If something meaningful is happening in New West, they try to be part of it.
Why Community Comes First
For the team at Steel & Oak, supporting local events is not a marketing strategy. It is part of their identity.
New Westminster is a small city in the best way. When the brewery team is out at events, they see familiar faces and meet new neighbours. The conversations feel personal.
The goal has always been to serve the community first. The beer is just one part of the experience.
