Ale Trails in Vancouver Island

Greater Victoria is home to Canada’s first brewpub and some of British Columbia’s most popular breweries. Venture beyond — visit nearby Sooke or hop a ferry to explore the Southern Gulf Islands. Unique experiences are waiting in Greater Victoria!
Central Vancouver Island Ale Trail
Community craft breweries abound from Cowichan’s warm climate and agricultural heritage to Nanaimo’s urban, maritime vibe and the tranquil beaches of Parksville Qualicum Beach
Northern Vancouver Island Ale Trail
Vancouver Island is a big place, home to diverse landscapes and an assortment of excellent craft breweries in the communities of the Comox Valley, Campbell River and Port McNeil.
Pacific Rim Ale Trail
The Pacific Rim region, encompassing Port Alberni, Ucluelet and Tofino, is known for its ancient rainforest, abundant marine life, and ferocious winter squalls; it’s here that the storm-watching trend originated.
BC Farm-Based Ale Trail
Anchored by BC’s farm-based breweries, the BC Farm-Based Ale Trail is built around the breweries that have always had one foot in the soil — inviting farm-based cideries, BC Farmers Markets, agritourism experiences, and farm-based accommodations to join them in showcasing the best of each region.
