Tofino Brewing

When it opened in 2011, Tofino Brewing was a small operation whose owners had to balance their surfing time with figuring out how to run a brewery on a shoestring budget. Well, they pulled it off, and since then this business has organically grown into a fixture in this west coast paradise.

Open daily from noon to 9 pm, the tasting room is a popular spot for a flight, pint, or beer to go — or to browse the trendy merchandise options that will make you even cooler when you wear them back home. 

Food is available, too, including sandwiches and snacks inside the tasting room, or Japanese from Toki Doki, the on-site Airstream food truck.
