Victoria is the home of the first ever microbrewery in Canada, known as Horseshoe Bay Brewing. The city is also home to the first Canadian brewpub called Spinnakers. However, this is just the start of the growing craft beer scene in Victoria.
With Victoria Beer Week underway, the city gets to see even more craft breweries and brewpubs contributing to the scene. Eleven different brewpubs and breweries are on hand to show off their beers from Victoria. Over 40 local breweries from the extended area are also here for the event. Some of the things you may still be able to enjoy include:
- Cask Nights with 20 casks from Vancouver Island breweries
- Beer School - Learn all about beer and become more of an expert with craft beer from the area.
- Free Homebrewing workshops
- Free Art show display with all types of beer label creations
- Ten new brews that have been released from BC breweries
You may even be able to catch a brewery tour, while the event is still going on. Of course, Victoria Beer Week also includes plenty of samples of the area brews.
