    Visitors to the island, we took a beautiful day trip which included Goats on the Roof and Cathedral Grove, great stops along the way. The BEST part of our day was Gladstone Brewery, where we were greeted by the warm and exuberant owner, Alexandra, who clearly knew many of her patrons. She offered up her husband, Daniel, to give us a tour which demonstrated how much passion and knowledge he had about his product. Speaking of their product - we had flights served on license plates and were able to purchase our faves to take home (mine were Hazy and Glad Light, my husband the Cream Ale and Pilsner, but flights will help you choose for yourself). We were there at 3:30 and the space was almost full with everyone from young children (and cute pups!) to seniors. We decided to stay for dinner, where I had the tacos- why choose? You can get one of each! My husband chose the burger, which he loved. Delicious and fresh, I found my tacos authentic, yet innovative - one is veggie! It was clear a great deal of thought and care went into everything, but the overall atmosphere for us was come as you are, and enjoy!

    Great service super friendly staff. Great spot to grab a beer, also great prices for a 16oz from $7 - $9. Nice food & snack menu to go down with your beers . Definitely must stop off here if you're in the town of Comox.

    Truly one of the best spots in the Comox valley to pull up a chair, have an outstanding beer and some delicious food. Solid core line up of beer on offer with seasonal releases to compliment, food is 10/10 which I never usually expect when eating at brewery. The food always seems to be an afterthought at brewpubs but Gladstone has some amazing choices including some of the best Mexican food I've had on all of Vancouver Island (try the brisket burrito!!!) The patio is always busy and full of happy regulars and the occasional super cute dog. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Knowledgeable on their beer and offering great service each time I've been by!

    By fare best in Comox Valley for beer, food, entertainment and service. The staff and owner's are amazing and passionate about their customer's having the absolute best experience possible. If you haven't tried Edgar's food you're really missing out on a lot of awesomeness in your life!

    Popped by this brewery for a quick bite and to let our kids stretch their legs before our flight and we really hit the jackpot stopping here. Super friendly staff, cool vibes, huge outdoor patio with heaters, delicious food, VERY generous portions and incredibly family friendly. As soon as we walked in someone someone handed our little guy a toy to bring to our table to play with and showed us their little toy section for kids. As a mom of 2 toddlers this is GENIUS and so appreciated. The most enjoyable dining experience we had on our trip. Thank you!!

  • India Pale Ale

    Style: IPA - American

    ABV: 6.6    IBU: 70

    The Gladstone India pale ale (IPA) glints a dark copper, aromas of tropical fruit can be found, but resinous pine is much more prominent. Lightly malted, strong bitterness from West Coast hops is the focus, complimented rather than diffused by light fruit flavours. What malt character remains is most apparent after swallowing, where the light sweetness works to hold the bitterness on the tongue.

    First seen on Friday, January 16, 2015


  • Belgian Single

    Style: Belgian Blonde

    ABV: 4.5    IBU: 30

    An extremely pale golden ale, the Gladstone Belgian Single exudes fruity and highly spicy aromas. These flavours are apparent in the light, peppery body as well, though they remain understated to maximize the refreshing character of the Single. Complimentary pepper flavours from light hopping and a grainy texture from the malts create a very dry finish that almost vanishes from the tongue.

    First seen on Wednesday, January 14, 2015


  • Hazy Pale Ale

    Style: Pale Ale - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 5.3    IBU: 34

    A pale orange glowing haze reminiscent of grapefruit juice with a persistent white head. Aromas of tropical and stone fruits remain with a background of hop character; this version is a touch sweeter than the last batch with less hop burn, but the silky and slightly sticky character remains. More focus on citrus and dry tropical fruits from the addition of Cascade hops, with a mild lemonade character. Mouthfeel is still thirst quenching, with less sugar stickiness and a bit of a sappier finish. Leaves the palette more quickly than the previous batch as well.

    First seen on Friday, September 14, 2018


  • Pilsner

    Style: Pilsner - Czech / Bohemian

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 35

    A bright, clear, golden Lager, the Gladstone Pilsner smells of crisp yeast and lightly spicy hops. Noticeably bitter, the combination of generous hopping and Pilsen malt results in an extremely refreshing brew. A light toasted finish creates a full body that remains dry and does not linger on the tongue.

    First seen on Wednesday, April 22, 2015


  • Cream Ale

    Style: Cream Ale

    ABV: 5.2    IBU: 18

    Starting off with a light floral hop, bready malt and maize aromas this beer will dazzle your tongue with its clean crisp citrus hop on the front end followed up with a slight sweet maize on the back end. Finishing off with a dry carbonation left bubbling on your tongue to quench your thirst.

    First seen on Wednesday, October 5, 2016


  • Porter

    Style: Porter - American

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 40

    The black body of the Gladstone Porter is intimidating to some, irresistible to others. Strong aromas of dark chocolate waft from the creamy head, followed by flavours of coffee and malty sweetness. Mouth feel is surprisingly light, in the North American style, and dry toasted malt character is apparent on the finish.

    First seen on Saturday, February 7, 2015


  • Red Ale

    Style: Red Ale - American Amber / Red

    ABV: 6    IBU: 30

    Dark red in color, aromas of caramel are immediately apparent. Floral and citrus hop character is apparent on the nose but toned down in the taste, doing little more than enhancing the malt character. The main focus of this beer style, the malts impart a light caramel flavor that stops before being too sweet and a nutty texture that fades into a dry finish. The creamy mouthfeel does not linger, making the Gladstone Red Ale refreshing despite its lack of bitterness.

    First seen on Thursday, June 2, 2016


  • Czech Dark Lager

    Style: Lager - Tmavé (Czech Dark)

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 35

    A deep, darkly translucent red, the Gladstone Dark Lager carries mild dark fruit and raisin aroma. Mild roast malt character is complimented by spice and pepper from the Saaz hops, leading gently into flavours of subdued raisin, earthy fruit, and roast nut. A crisp, refreshing mouth feel lingers pleasantly on the tongue without overstaying its welcome, and leaves thirst quenched. This was a gold medal winner at the 2016 Canadian Brewing Awards

  • Kolsch

    Style: Kölsch

    ABV: 4.8    IBU: 24

    The Gladstone Kolsch shines a clear golden straw colour with a fairly persistent clean white head. Light fruit aromas mingle with grain and spice that carry through nicely on the first sip. Medium carbonation and hops work together to bring a spice flavor and texture forward while malts rein them in and lead into a pleasantly sweet finish.

    First seen on Monday, August 1, 2016


  • Märzen

    Style: Märzen

    ABV: 6.1    IBU: 22

    The Gladstone Marzen is a clear dark copper with a light off-white head that dissipates fairly quickly. A lightly sweet aroma is accompanied by scents of freshly baked nut bread and grain that carry through on the first sip. a dry hop finish takes over to leave the pallet clean and refreshed. While the Marzen is full bodied due to its generous malt profile, a reasonable level of carbonation and light hopping make it feel lighter and it keep it from being overwhelming on hot days.

  • Mystery Ship NEIPA

    Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 6.5    IBU: 0

    First seen on Thursday, May 17, 2018


  • Dry Irish Nitro Stout

    Style: Stout - Irish Dry

    ABV: 4.5    IBU: 30

    - The Gladstone Dry Irish Stout boasts a deeply opaque black body complimented by a persistently dense, creamy mocha head. The dense head created by the Nitrogen mutes some of the aroma, but if you try you can smell rich roasted coffee, dark bakers chocolate, and a hint of sweet cocoa. These flavours are very obvious from the first sip, and pair wonderfully with the creamy Nitrogen bubbles that stream across the tongue and settle pleasantly in the belly. Mouthfeel is silky smooth and the beer feels much lighter on the tongue than the color and class would suggest.

  • Evil Spirit Belgian Golden Strong

    Style: Belgian Blonde

    ABV: 8.5    IBU: 35

    The Gladstone Evil Spirit is a cloudy, though highly, polished gold, and smells strongly of fruit and spice. Pepper flavor dominates, amplified by hop spice, resulting in a very dry and light mouth feel thatdeftly hides the potently high alcohol level. Although light and refreshing, the Golden Strong is a mischievous 8.5%, so consume in moderation.

  • Straight Eight

    Style: IPA - Imperial / Double

    ABV: 8.8    IBU: 90

    Light passes easily through the copper body of the Gladstone Straight 8. Shedding the weight of malts in favour of more hop power, aromas of tropical fruits and berries are very apparent. Surprisingly sweet, the nature of the southern hemisphere hops is very easy to discern, with complimentary bittering from northern hemisphere cousins. The sweetness passes over the tongue quickly, leaving a dry, lightly bitter finish.

    First seen on Saturday, May 9, 2015


  • Hazy Simcoe Pale Ale

    Style: Pale Ale - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 5.3    IBU: 0

    A hazy pale ale with orange glowing haze reminiscent of grapefruit juice with a persistent white head. Aromas of tropical and stone fruits remain with a background of hop character. This beer is hazy due to high protein malts and suspended yeast and hop particles.

    First seen on Sunday, April 29, 2018


  • Barrel-Aged Brett Saison

    Style: Wild Ale - American

    ABV: 7.5    IBU: 20

    The Gladstone Brett Saison is a hazy straw colour with a bright white head that dissipates fairly quickly. Mild funkiness from the Brettanomyces along with tart fruit and a hint of sharp sourness and leather are apparent on the nose. The first sip rushes across the tongue with a champagne level of carbonation accompanied by sour stone fruit, dry oak, and a hint of horse blanket and cherry. The lively carbonation makes your cheeks tingle and leaves your mouth refreshed and cleansed after swallowing.

  • Dry Hopped Kettle Sour

    Style: Sour - Other

    ABV: 5    IBU: 10

    Introducing our very first sour beer. This Kettle Sour is a deliciously tart, slightly acidic, highly refreshing ale brewed with a combination of brewers yeast and lactobacillus. The wild sour fermentation and dry hopping with Australian Galaxy hops bring out a delicate stone fruit flavour.

  • Four Year Anniversary Double Nordic IPA

    Style: IPA - Imperial / Double New England / Hazy

    ABV: 8.5    IBU: 0

    First seen on Saturday, January 26, 2019


  • Berliner Weisse

    Style: Sour - Berliner Weisse

    ABV: 3.8    IBU: 0

    The light character of the Berliner is easy see from the bright straw color, with subtle cloudiness that hints at the dairy content. Strong sour and citrus aroma is apparent and carries through on the tongue, well complimented by high carbonation that causes a sensation of lightness and high refreshment. Sour flavor leads and fades into citrus, carbonation keeps either from lingering on the tongue. Low ABV and light body makes the beer quite sessionable.

    First seen on Thursday, July 21, 2016


  • India Session Ale (ISA)

    Style: IPA - Session

    ABV: 4.4    IBU: 0

    The Gladstone ISA is a hazy honey orange color, smelling strongly of grapefruit and subtly of sweet tropical fruits. Grapefruit bitterness is the most apparent flavor, followed by a finish of tropical and pit fruits bolstered by light malt character. Lower than average carbonation creates a sensation of a fuller body while avoiding heavy maltiness, allowing the hops to shine and helping to keep flavours balanced.

  • Saison

    Style: Farmhouse Ale - Saison

    ABV: 6    IBU: 30

    Often cloudy, Saison range from shining gold to light caramel in color. They often exude strong aromas of pepper, fruit, and citrus. The Gladstone Summer Saison is no exception, and those flavours are apparent on the tongue as well. Complimented by the distinctively high carbonation of the style, they create a very light and dry mouth feel that fades quickly.
