Longwood Brewery on Boxwood Road is home to a welcoming tasting room and picnic patio, where visitors can enjoy a rotating lineup of unique beers on tap. Opened in 2012 to expand the Longwood brand’s reach across BC through packaged and kegged products, the brewery showcases six core beers—ranging from a crisp Continental Pilsner to a rich Imperial Stout—alongside four rotating seasonal offerings that reflect the changing seasons and flavours of the region.
What truly sets Longwood apart is its deep commitment to terroir. With a “small farm friendly” philosophy, the brewery partners with local farmers to source a wide variety of ingredients—from malted barley and hops to herbs and fruits—many of which are grown right here on Vancouver Island or elsewhere in BC. This dedication to local sourcing allows Longwood to craft beers that are not only fresh and distinctive, but also rooted in the land, reflecting the unique character of the region in every pint.
