Awesome style and branding of this brewery, the merch is great and love the T-shirt I got! A nicely decorated and comfortable space with a good range of beers and snacks to choose from. We were the only customers on a hot day mid May so the service felt a bit dim - might be chirpier on a busier day. There’s definitely potential for this to be a top quality brewery but what doesn’t quite set it apart from the other breweries on the island is there isn’t much information about the tasting notes of the different beers and the flavours aren’t as bold so the selection from the flights we had all seemed to blend into one another

Located in the heart of Downtown Victoria, this brewery stands out as a top destination for beer enthusiasts. The beer selection is outstanding, offering a diverse range of flavors that cater to all palates. From hoppy IPAs, crisp pilsners to smooth stouts, there's something for everyone.

The seating is exceptionally comfortable, with ample options both indoors and on the outside covered patio. The patio is particularly inviting, providing both shade and sun, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a pint regardless of the weather.

Inside, the brewery's walls are adorned with cool, captivating art, creating a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the rich history of the brewery is proudly displayed, adding a sense of tradition and authenticity to the experience.

Service is top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff enhancing the overall visit. The true Canadian 20oz pint for $8.50 is a fantastic deal, making it even easier to enjoy multiple selections from their extensive menu.

Overall, Vancouver Island Brewing offers a remarkable experience with great beers, excellent service, and a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing environment. It's a must-visit for anyone on the island.

I recently visited Vancouver Island Brewing with my parents after hearing about it on television while staying at a nearby hotel. Since my parents love beer, we decided to check it out. Being our first time, we weren't familiar with their beers, so I asked the cashier for recommendations. She kindly suggested a couple of canned beers, which we decided to try.

However, we weren't aware that the canned beers were for takeout only, so we sat upstairs to enjoy them. Unfortunately, the cashier later came upstairs and asked us to leave, explaining that the canned beers couldn't be consumed on-site and that she could get in trouble with her managers.

While I understand the policy, I wish it had been communicated earlier. Her attitude during this interaction wasn't very friendly, and it felt like there could have been a more considerate way to explain the situation. I would say It was an honest mistake on our part, but the way it was handled left us feeling a bit uncomfortable, slightly damaged our experience.

That said, the beers themselves were good, and I can see why the brewery is popular. Just a heads up for anyone visiting—be sure to ask about the rules if you're unsure to avoid any misunderstandings.

Wow wow wow where to start? The vibe at Vancouver Island Brewing was unlike any other, and the smiling faces we were greeted with by James and Emily couldn't be beat. The tasty selection of beers and nice little snacks served were top-notch. Dare I say the best brewery I have had in the Vancouver area? I can't wait to wear my brand new shirt back home in Southern California!

Was here 3 years ago on my Alaskan cruise. Brought my sister, her fiance and dad here this trip and they loved the experience. The two guys are awesome and full of knowledge. Thank you for an amazing experience. I will be bringing people back everytime I'm in Victoria.

Delicious flight that the bartender threw together for me because I wasn’t sure what to order. Great vibe and absolutely lovely space. Would absolutely visit again.
