A timely exploration of the vibrant and growing craft brewery scene on Vancouver Island.
Hopheads, rejoice! Take the ultimate beer-lover’s road trip from Victoria, BC’s craft beer capital, to Tofino and Campbell River, visiting craft breweries and brewpubs in between. Your guide? Jon Stott, born and bred in Victoria―and beer enthusiast extraordinaire.
