Twa Dogs Brewery at Macaloney’s Island Distillery

This brewery and distillery on the outskirts of Victoria embraces its Scottish background wholeheartedly.

Graeme Macaloney was born in Glasgow, Scotland, where he developed a love for both whisky and beer. When he moved to Canada he set himself the goal of building a place where both would be produced side by side. Macaloney’s Island Distillery & Twa Dogs Brewery is just that place. Twa Dogs is a reference to 18th century Scottish poet Robbie Burns; indeed, each beer’s name comes from a Burns poem as well. 

Within its spacious facility is a beautiful tasting room where you can enjoy the full range of beers or a taster’s flight of whiskies, which are also available for sale in bottles. Take an entertaining tour to learn more about the brewing and distilling process. You can even enjoy a beer right inside the brewery and watch the brewers as they work. There is also an outdoor patio beside the tasting room.
