Stayed in Victoria for a bunch of days and went to the brewery for two nights in a row. Lovely place, 16 beers on the tap (one them is the guest one) and friendly bartenders. One can choose to get a tasting of 4 or 8 beers and they print the best order to go through 'em all on the spot. Non alcoholic options are a nice addition. Sadly didn't get the chance to taste their gin and whisky.

While it is a great spot, they really should clean the floor more frequently - so much food debris everywhere! Was there a food fight?? There seemed to be a security guard staring off into space... Maybe they could pitch in with the floors....

As we’re looking for it, the staff came, they removed a long wooden piece of the floor so we can look...

You’re not just brewing incredible beer, you’re creating culture, memories, and connection. We’re grateful to play a small part in the storytelling behind that. We had the p...

Great spot for some great beer in Victoria. Went on a sunny evening and sat outside on their good sized patio - it’s on a side street so relatively protected from the traffic noise of Government St - on which the brewery fronts. Did a flight of IPAs, which were all great, but my favourite was the Free Ride, followed closely by the Yacht Rocker. Three of us shared the Loaded Hot Dog Tower, an homag...
