8 breweries to visit this long weekend in Victoria

If you’re looking for a fun activity to take up with friends this coming long weekend, exploring one (or two, or eight!) of Victoria’s many distinctive breweries would come as a no brainer to most. To us, at least, any plans that involve good food and drinks are always high on our radar!

That’s why we’ve created a list of the best spots to check out this coming long weekend, featuring great menus, unique brews and a ton of fun events to consider inviting your loved ones too.

Here are eight iconic breweries to try in Victoria next week. See you there!

Whistle Buoy Brewing Company

Located right in the heart of downtown Victoria, this “tiny brewery with big ideas” makes experimental small-batch beers suitable for every beer drinker. Updating their list every week, carrying everything from crisp cold lagers to brews with “superdelic hops”, you can never be sure what you’ll find when you walk in!

Address: Market Square, Lower Courtyard, #63, 560 Johnson St.

Herald Street Brew Works

This spacious, industrial taproom offers in-depth tasting tours, dance parties, live music and a simple food menu perfect for a long night out—pizzas, green dips, chips and build-your-own charcuterie boards. The beer list is always changing, but notable favourites include the Belgian chocolate stout, salted watermelon lager and Pacific charm hopfenweisse.

Address: 506 Herald St.
