Staff Spotlight: Meet Franco, Sales & Order Desk 🍻
Introducing Franco, the heart and soul of our Sales & Orders desk and the longest-standing member of the Howe Sound Brewing team. Franco joined us back in 2001, intending it to be a temporary stop—but we’re incredibly grateful he decided to stay. If you know Howe Sound Brewing, you know Franco.
Franco started at the front desk of the Inn, but soon found his way into the brewery, where he discovered his passion for brewing. “I’ve crushed some grapes in my time” he says, reflecting on his journey. His favourite beer to brew was the Pothole Filler Stout, a strong stout that filled the room with rich roasted aromas.
Originally, Franco’s favourite Howe Sound beer was the Best Bitter, a classic English ale known for its smooth balance of hops and malt with a sweet finish. These days you can catch him reaching for a Pilsner Plunge.
What brought Franco to Squamish? The charming, scenic town, conveniently located between the Vancouver and Whistler. Outside of work, you’ll often find him walking his dog along the estuary trails, or out golfing or hiking in the Sea to Sky.

https://cryptocasinozone.net came to mind reading about Franco's path from the front desk to the brewery, since that kind of accidental career detour often produces the most knowledgeable people in any business. The detail about the Pothole Filler Stout filling the room with roasted aromas made me wish I could have smelled that batch, and it's telling that he still remembers his favorite brew after all these years. Anyone who has stayed somewhere for two decades usually has a good reason, and Franco's estuary walks with his dog sound like a pretty solid one.
it's great to learn more about the people behind the brewery. franco's long tenure and his shift from the inn to brewing is a nice story. the pothole filler stout does sound like it would have a wonderful aroma. squamish is a beautiful area for those walks. a straightforward and pleasant read about a team member.

Franco sounds like such a legend — 23 years at the brewery and still going strong! The Pothole Filler Stout caught my eye too, rich roasted aromas are exactly my kind of thing. Speaking of beer labels and brewery photos, I recently came across this low quality image maker that intentionally makes pictures look all pixelated and crunchy — perfect for joking around with friends about how old-school our pint pics look. Anyway, cheers to Franco and the whole Howe Sound crew, definitely adding a visit to Squamish on my list!
