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.

Pacific Rim Ale Trail

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.
