Style: IPA - American
ABV: 7 IBU: 51
Light in color, bold in bitter West Coast hoppiness. This hop-forward ode to the west coast packs the citrus and pine flavor from loads of Cascade, Centennial, Columbus, and Simcoe hops.

Style: Pale Ale - English
ABV: 5.5 IBU: 29
This beer is all about the toffee and caramel flavors emphasized by imported British Maris Otter Pale Malt. Malt-forward but amazingly dry with balanced earthy and floral flavours from East Kent Goldings and Fuggles.

Style: Blonde / Golden Ale - Other
ABV: 5 IBU: 24
A light blonde with a lot of hops. All jokes aside, this hybrid mash-up is part blonde ale, part ISA, and part American Wheat Ale. Brewed using only Citra for the kettle and dry hop, this beer is big on tropical hop flavour without an overwhelming bitterness.
First seen on Tuesday, March 28, 2017
Style: Porter - English
ABV: 5.5 IBU: 27
A clean, dry Porter made with British Maris Otter Malt, along with a touch of both Medium Crystal and Roasted Malts. Fuggles and Sterling hops rounds it all out. Named in honor of the much-under-appreciated Valley we call home.

ABV: 6.1 IBU: 10
Abracadabra! This tart golden ale is acidified with a blend of Lactobacillus then combined with Pineapple and Coconut to produce a refreshing, yet familiar flavor-profile. It’s essentially a liquid vacation.

Style: Smoked Beer
ABV: 6.3 IBU: 20
An American Red Ale with a clean finish and pronounced smoke character. The color comes from a mix of dark crystal and roasted barley. Imported German Beechwood Smoked Malt gives it its signature flavour. Restrained malt sweetness, this beer is a perfect pint for the Fall and pairs very well with food.

Style: Bock - Doppelbock
ABV: 8.1 IBU: 24
Our first ever lager and first ever collaboration with Cumberland Brewing Company. This traditional German Dopplebock has huge bold flavours of caramelized sugar and sticky toffee pudding. A warming winter brew that is perfect for cozy days indoors.

Style: Pale Ale - American
ABV: 5 IBU: 25
A carefully calculated American Pale Ale with a mild, slightly biscuity malt-profile, a clean american yeast strain, and unique hop varieties with subdued tangerine and orange notes. We've done the Math. This one is no anomaly.

Style: Pale Ale - New England / Hazy
ABV: 5.9 IBU: 30
A hazy of unprecedented aroma and hop flavour! Brewed with Norwegian kveik yeast, Vic Secret, and finally lupulin-concentrated Mosaic and Citra hops, this seasonal release is loaded with dank, mango, and grapefruit notes.
First seen on Friday, February 7, 2020
Style: Sour - Fruited
ABV: 5.5 IBU: 10
We can't always be quick on the draw. This seasonal was originally one of our first sour releases and it is a refreshing venture out from traditional beer styles. Huell Melon hops emphasize flavours of honeydew and strawberry while the addition of hibiscus petals in the fermenter adds herbal cranberry notes. Finally, Strawberry puree adds body and a touch of sweetness.

Style: Shandy / Radler
ABV: 2.5 IBU: 17
Our house-made Grapefruit Radler with the Swedish Gymnast and all-natural Sparkling Grapefruit Soda. Try a Sparkling Leotard on for size. It'll fit like a glove.

Style: Farmhouse Ale - Saison
ABV: 5 IBU: 25
A medium-bodied Farmhouse Ale with Rye and Wheat Malt. Dry-hopped in the fermenter with loads of Mosaic, Amarillo, and Citra.

Style: IPA - Sour
ABV: 6 IBU: 15
Step right up, don't be shy! Marvel as the daring brewers juggle a hop-forward hazy IPA while balancing acidity from our very own culture of lactobacillus. The real feat is the taming of a single spectacular hop variety providing such fierce flavour.

ABV: 5.4 IBU: 10
We wrangled loads of tasty Raspberry and Peach right into this house-soured batch of refreshing summer patio bliss. Jammy notes of real raspberry, a smooth sweet body from the peaches, a clean lemonade-like acidity, and a touch of Amarillo hops.

Get whisked away with this tremendously tropical sour brewed with Mango and Guava. A tart golden base sets the stage for a massive amount of Mosaic and Ella hops. Finally, additions of Mango and Guava puree complete the transformation.

Style: Stout - White / Golden
ABV: 5.6 IBU: 21
Flip the switch! This unique beer was made by replacing the dark, roasty malts in a traditional Stout with Cold-Steeped Coffee Beans and fragrant Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Beans. Our friends at Forbidden Brewing and the CARE network collaborated with us to produce this trick for the eyes and treat for the palate. A velvety mouthfeel from the flaked oats and flaked barley along with traditional english malt, hops, and yeast give this golden-colored ale depth and complexity.

Style: Sour - Fruited
ABV: 5.6 IBU: 9
This liquid nostalgia was inspired by the flavors of a Sour Cherry Cola Gummy. Our light wheat ale base acidified by our house culture of Lactobacillus then fermented with a clean Ale yeast. Hopped heavily with Eukanot and conditioned on over 80lbs of both Sweet and Tart Cherry purees. Natural Cola flavours are then infused into the beer and the result is mildly tart and incredibly familiar. Best enjoyed with Pizza and Video Games.

Light and malty. Sessionable brew made with west coast hops. Just not to let it trick you into having too many!

ABV: 5.3 IBU: 14
We ditched the fruit additions for our latest sour to showcase an amazing blend of hop varieties. Ipso Facto was soured with our house cultured Lactobacillus blend then fermented with Kveik yeast before receiving a massive dry hop using Sabro and Nelson Sauvin. Bright complex Citrus, White Grape, and Tangerine notes blend together and completely mask the fact that no fruit was used in the making of this beer.

Style: Belgian Quadrupel
ABV: 10.3 IBU: 27
This rich, Belgian-Style Quadrupel is a soothing chorus of classical Belgian spice, dark brûléed sugars, and toasted malt.

Style: Altbier - Traditional
ABV: 5 IBU: 28
We collaborated with Qualicum Beach's beloved Love Shack Libations on this German-inspired Altbier featuring Sea Salt and Caramel. This beer was fermented cool and lagered for several weeks resulting in a clean, quaffable malt-forward pseudo-lager with restrained flavours of Creme Brulee and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
First seen on Friday, April 26, 2019
Style: IPA - New England / Hazy
ABV: 6.5 IBU: 35
We tried to resist making this beer but we couldn't fight it. This Hazy India Pale Ale uses tons of tropical forward hops to create a cloudy tropical juice-forward beer. We then add Lactose to balance the bitterness and provide a fluffy body.

This is our second time here, and it was even better! We went for a drive just to get away, and decided to grab lunch here with our daughter. It was amazing! We had the Maui Waui pizza and the Jalapeno one (I can't remember the name). SO good! The crust was crispy, yet stretchy at the same time, not at all doughy or greasy! Very fresh ingredients, and the pineapple and balsamic reduction perfectly balanced out the saltiness of the prosciutto! I honestly think that this may very well be consistently the best pizza I have tasted on Vancouver Island! My husband loved the beer he had as well, enough to buy some to take for home! Service was very friendly and prompt, and the restaurant and washrooms very clean! I am glad we stopped in, and we will definitely be back again! Update: January 2023. Back again! Everything was spectacular once again, consistent quality!

We had a good experience here, we went for our anniversary dinner and it was our first time. The food was very tasty, we got the gnarly garly pizza and the spuds appetizer. Super delicious definitely coming back!

Amazing. The vibe here is super friendly and cool. They are super helpful staff and have a great selection of beers which are all amazing! The pizza is one of the best I've had. A super unique way of doing pizza but super good

We stop here for lunch on a longer drive. Amazing food! Easy parking. Lovely patio with lots of space indoors as well. I also loved that they offer 6 oz beer servings a la cart (for a very reasonable price). The tap beer selection was nice with clear and helpful descriptions of each beer on a digital menu. However, the beer was served a bit on the warm side, especially for how hot it was outside. A colder tap temperature or chilled glasses would have improved the flavors and overall experience of the beers. Service was acceptable, but nothing to write home about.
