LoveShack Libations

Dave Paul put his roots down in Qualicum Beach back in 2004 with his wife and newborn daughter. When they first arrived, they lived in a tent while Dave built a 12×16 foot tiny home, lovingly anointed as The Love Shack. While the small home has since been retired to the leisure role of guest cabin/hobby brewery, it inspired the name for Love Shack Libations when Dave opened the brewery in 2017. What you’ll find at this nano brewery today is resonant with that small home; you’ll find a place of comfort, gathering, and joy, of friends old and new, and of really, really good beer.

In late 2024 the brewery underwent an exciting transition: Longtime friends and Love Shack fans Jayce Hawkins and Chris Barton took over the brewery, with the intention of continuing Dave’s incredible legacy of good times and delicious beers. They continue to brew Dave’s well-loved mainstay recipes while also adding a few new creations into the mix. With their combined experience and passion, they hope to keep The Love Shack vibe alive for many years to come!
