Checkerhead Brewing in Shirley, BC offers uniquely crafted beers brewed by a guy who went from juggling props to juggling hops. Join him for a taste of laughter in every sip!

This may be the only brewery in Canada, perhaps the world, that was envisioned by a juggler. David Aiken has travelled the world as a comedy juggler for over 40 years and also has a passion for brewing craft beer. Checkerhead Brewing’s beers are quite often tributes to some of Dave’s crazy performer friends and also to his local friends who helped bring his brewery dream to fruition.

Each beer has a story behind it, so prepare to have your thirst quenched while also listening to some great stories. Bring your growlers and be prepared to want to fill up with David’s inspired brews!
