Gladstone Brewing
Based in a one-time car mechanic’s shop, Gladstone Brewing embraces that heritage with a tasting room that is decorated with old car parts and automobile memorabilia. At its opening in 2015, the brewery’s capacity was only enough to supply its own tasting room and a few local restaurants. Upon recent completion of a major expansion to nearly double its original brewing capacity, the brewery now supplies Vancouver Island with its core lineup and seasonals in 4-packs of tall cans. Plan a trip to the source to enjoy what Gladstone has to offer.
Along with a range of delicious beers, the Gladstone kitchen serves up burgers, tacos, and house-smoked meats to keep your hunger pangs away as you sip and socialize on the all-weather patio, which is always busy with friendly locals ready to enjoy a conversation.
