Persephone Brewing

Explore the Beer Farm.

Persephone is easy to spot: just look for the big red barn right next to the highway on the way into Gibsons. As a destination location only 5 minutes from the ferry terminal, it is often the first and last stop for folks visiting the Sunshine Coast. Persephone Brewing is located on a full working farm with 11 acres of beautiful land, curated gardens, covered pavilions, multiple fire pits in winter and lush flowers and crops in Summer – every season is stunning at the beer farm.

The tasting room is a friendly, cozy community hub with trivia nights, art events and various other events daily. Persephone has become known as a live music venue, with the best local artists that the coast has to offer performing on weekends. If you prefer a more relaxed ambiance, grab a beverage and pop upstairs to the bookstore, Upstart Upstairs, the unique, calm, low sensory space curated by Upstart and Crow.

Persephone brews award-winning beers, ales, stout and ciders as well as making honeycomb seltzers, non-alcoholic iced tea and water kefirs. Craft cocktails always include homegrown simple syrups and garnishes from the farm. The kitchen and food truck focus on farm-to-table fare, and good home cooking with a full and varied menu.

Take a self-guided tour around the family-friendly farm, where dogs on leash are welcome with a responsible guardian. Visit the Chickens and honey bee area in the beautiful high-density Orchard. Purchase farm fresh eggs and farm produce directly from the grower. The property is also bike-friendly and only a few minutes from Sprokids Mountain Bike Park or Soames Hill hiking trails.

Persephone’s local focus extends beyond ingredients: The Beer Farm also has a partnership with a local community living organization to employ disabled adults and leases out space on its land for vegetable production. They are always participating in education, stewardship, environmental and soil initiatives.
