LoveShack Libations

This small Qualicum Beach brewery is a labour of love.

When Dave and Rachel Paul first moved to Qualicum Beach from Pemberton, near Whistler, they lived in a small home Dave built, which they affectionately dubbed the “Love Shack.” Later, after building a larger house, the shack became his hobby brewery. But after repeated encouragement from Rachel, Dave decided to turn his hobby into this small brewery located right on the Island Highway. 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 LoveShack 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.
