Ale Trails in Vancouver Island

Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC

Greater Victoria is home to Canada’s first brewpub and some of British Columbia’s most popular breweries. Venture beyond — visit nearby Sooke or hop a ferry to explore the Southern Gulf Islands. Unique experiences are waiting in Greater Victoria!

Community craft breweries abound from Cowichan’s warm climate and agricultural heritage to Nanaimo’s urban, maritime vibe and the tranquil beaches of Parksville Qualicum Beach

Vancouver Island is a big place, home to diverse landscapes and an assortment of excellent craft breweries in the communities of the Comox Valley, Campbell River and Port McNeil.

The Pacific Rim region, encompassing Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino, is known for its ancient rainforest, abundant marine life, and ferocious winter squalls; it’s here that the storm-watching trend originated.
