This Belgium influenced fruit ale is crafted by refermenting whole BC raspberries with a lightly hopped table ale. Pouring raspberry red with an abundance of fruit on the nose.

ABV: 6.5 IBU: 65
BC grown hops and malted barley are at the epicentre of this malty yet hop forward beer. This West Coast IPA is influenced by the bright citrus flavour of the 3 C’s of West Coast hops; Cascade, Centennial and Chinook. The result is a dry but intense hop essence with an aftershock of aroma and bitterness. A unique Vancouver Island beer!

Style: Pumpkin / Yam Beer
ABV: 9 IBU: 0
This seasonal, Belgian Style Saison is not for the faint of heart. Born in a pumpkin patch and raised in the brewery, this 9% bad boy is not your grandma’s pumpkin pie. Eight slaughtered pumpkins and a whole lotta spice were boiled in a cauldron of barley, hops and anything else we could find lying around.

Style: Fruit Beer
ABV: 5.5 IBU: 0
A Blend of House Lager & House Fermented Quince juice. If history were to judge, we are sure that Nostradamus and Aphrodite would approve of this slightly malty, yet cidery beverage. Many bushels of the fantastically fragrant quince have been pressed and blended to create our latest community sourced project. A slightly tannic and fruity Graff with a medium effervescence.

Style: Stout - Irish Dry
ABV: 4.3 IBU: 34
This multi-layered Irish Stout is a “mash up” of Vancouver Island’s farm community and our brewers desire to source ingredients locally. Lactic beet mash provides a mild acidic dryness to this flavourful and far-out subculture Stout. Cheers, from the cool cats at Longwood… Snap Snap!

Children have been born and learned to walk in the time it took for this beer to submit to the organisms that created it. A deep complexity has evolved after exposure to yeast and bacteria that invisibly surround us.

Aging for 6 months in "Ex" Heaven Hills Bourbon barrels has transformed this Imperial Stout into an Ode to Elijah Craig; the founder of charred oak barrel aging. Compliment this beer with a fine Cuban Cigar or your favourite local Indica. Pow!

Style: IPA - Black / Cascadian Dark Ale
ABV: 6.2 IBU: 68
The fourth beer in our small batch series combines the darkness of outer space with the explosive flavour of rich local hops. Although the appearance is dark, this beer lacks the strong flavour of roasted malt. A healthy dose of kettle and dry hops dominate the palate of Planet Nine. The search is over!

We tasted some Longwood beer while visiting Gabriola Island, so we decided to visit the brewery when passing through Nanaimo. We were warmly greeted with a wave, and immediately felt welcomed. We had brought along some sandwiches and we were encouraged to enjoy them on the picnic patio. The server carefully followed all COVID protocols, so we felt safe and comfortable. The whole place was spotless. One of the most enjoyable brewery / tasting room visits we've ever experienced!

Nice little spot, not a big place. Check the hours for open times Small patio and small inside seating. Food available by food truck or bring your own. You can order food to be delivered if you like Some weird liquor rules, can't drink glasses just flights inside, can drink glasses on the patio though. Lots of traffic noise and a small parking lot. Its Longwood, so the beers are tasty.

Went to the brewery not the brew pub. Nice little astroturf parking lot patio near my kids place. Unique little mason jar servings. Nice shade. Friendly staff. Will go back.

Stoked to be able to fill up fresh beer directly from this local brewery. Don't count on it, but if you ask nicely they will SOMEtimes allow refills outside of the "Open" times listed in Google Maps (though I suspect never outside of "normal" 9-5,Mon-Fri kinda business hours.)
