Style: Historical Beer - Kottbusser
ABV: 4.8 IBU: 0
Kottbusser is a once near-extinct Honey Ale, originating from Germany. When the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 was put into place, Kottbussers faded into obscurity due to their use of adjuncts like honey and oats. Now, it sees its modern rebirth: clean, honey-sweet, and beautifully golden. Fly straight home, as the xrows do, to relish in the old world flavour of this almost-forgotten brew.

As the tides change, so does the direction of the Maelstroms and rapids in the Skookumchuk Narrows, which inspired this Dark Sour. These rapids can flow at over 30 kilometres per hour, making them among the fastest in the world. Submit yourself to strong current of dried dark fruit, and feel the rush of a deep, tart river flow around you.

I have no idea what's going on in their building, but the amount of noise including fans blowing at different volumes makes it impossible to sleep. It's so loud that I can hear it through my earplugs AND tonight it's started rattling. It clearly needs maintenance. It's actually as loud as an airport with active aircraft almost 24/7. And while one might say "close your windows," we don't have AC and the fans just don't cut it in 20+ degree heat. Here's to another sleepless night... Edit: note location, unit, and sound. I walked around the whole block today and you can't hear it from lighthouse's front door because the fan is way in the back as close as you can get to two multi-unit apartment buildings that have been here for years. Their brewery backs onto residential buildings, so there's no way they're in the middle of the industrial district. I found out today that they've been noticed about the noise before and refuse to acknowledge it. So, clear lies in their response. I dare them to do a full walk around their building and see if they're still in denial.

It's sunny Saturday so perfect for a bike ride along the E&N Trail to Lighthouse Brewery... right after popping dinner in the oven to cook for 90mins. We savoured a tasting flight on their gorgeous sunny patio distanced from others who were doing the same. There's racks for 18 bikes, so lots of room if you're on a group bike ride! After chatting with the manager, we bought a mixed four pack to take home and enjoy later. Thanks for your hospitality and and enjoyable reprive while dinner was in the oven.

This is a terrific small brewery. I enjoyed the outside sitting area and the beer selection was great. The prices were terrific too. We hadn't heard of Lighthouse Brewery before our trip to Victoria but now we are a big fan.

Incredibly friendly + knowledgeable staff and a coffee lager that is truly one of the best I've ever had! And if you get hungry, they also have a great selection of small bites (vegan friendly!) to pair. With a beautiful and relaxing patio, Lighthouse is a lovely space to spend a summer afternoon

Tried a pilot mango wheat here, and it was delicious and refreshing, and very smooth with a strong mango flavor. Definitely needs to become part of the permanent summer lineup. I have had other mango wheat beers from different breweries and this was by far the best one. Clearly the brewer knew what they were doing with this one. The rest of the beer is very good too!
