Beach Fire Brewing

Beach Fire Brewing pushed the reach of the Vancouver Island Ale Trail farther north to Campbell River when it opened in November 2016. Its tasting room and lounge were designed around sharing communal harvest tables and a food menu that features small plates good for a light meal or as part of an assortment of tasty options shared among friends.

Both the food and the beer are made in-house from scratch, incorporating local ingredients wherever possible, including honey from local beekeepers, local fish, and shellfish, and produce grown in urban gardens or nearby farms.

The brewer and chef both like to experiment — Tuesdays feature small-batch beer releases that tend to disappear quickly. You’ll find lots of other reasons to visit too, including events such as Yoga and a Pint on Saturday mornings, music trivia nights, and live performances by local musicians.
