The Columbia Brewery located in Creston British Columbia was once a part of the Fort Steele Brewery which opened in 1898 by brewmaster Albert Mutz. A reproduction of this brewery has been re-constructed at the entrance of the Fort Steele Heritage town located ten minutes north of nearby Cranbrook.In 1901 the Fort Steele brewery relocated to Fernie where it later became known as the Fernie/Fort Steele brewery. This was one of four breweries operating in the Kootenay area at this time.
