I'll start off with the positive... good beer! Had the flight and enjoyed them all. The person I…read morewas with had one of their slushy drinks from the machine and it was undrinkable. Tasted like they forgot to add any flavoring or something... just off. The posted hours on their website didn't match their actual hours, according to the server, so we had to rush out just after we were served. Not a place I'd return to.

I think I have to bump up the stars since my last beer experience here…read more On our latest trip to our northern neighbor we had another beer from Driftwood that we immensely enjoyed. That beer was the Spiff Corn Lager. It was such a refreshing beverage to have as we were ready to get out of the hot mugginess of summer. Flavor features with this delightful beer are a natural sweetness along with crispness and a clean finish. The beer is very light bodied and extremely persuasive in having you get another one.

We opened a second tab and were so glad we did. We truly had a lovely time. The staff were thoughtful and offered great and friendly service. By dealing with an uncomfortable situation they made us feel comfortable staying for a second round. If we lived here, we'd be back! I loved the raspberry sour! So light and refreshing!

The have what appears to be a captured food truck, if you're look for a bite to eat. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the Ecailleur Gose (Oyster shells, citrus, chilies), Depense Saison (spent grape saison), and Jamaique Gose (hibiscus & cinnamon), and all three were delicious. My only regret is coming here after a big meal and not having enough stomach capicity to try more things. The location is in interesting neighborhood - if coming after dark, I might be a little cautious about walking around this part of town alone. Ile Sauvage is a magical little gem in an unsuspecting place, and their beer is some of the best.

The more usual hoppy beer is good too, but the FC + Stout was probably the best stout I'd ever had.

Our last stop before boarding the ferry at Swartz Bay to Vancouver:…read more We had an enjoyable time at Vancouver Island Brewery while waiting for the ferry. Lucky for us, we were able to savor the last few days of warm sunshine on their patio. We went during happy hour and flights were only $5. There were a lot of choices including Lemon Drop Star Anise Sour and Merri Berri Cider. The food menu is limited. We ordered a bag of chips and a jar of salsa and both were very fresh and tasty. One jar was not enough. We ordered another one to finish off the rest of the chips. They also allowed us to bring outside food to pair with their full flavoured beers.

I fully enjoyed the Hail Santa - spruce tip red rye ale, the Quiet Man Stroopwafel Herfsbock, and the Tropicano sour. A great vibe and good beer, would definitely go back.

The place wasn't too busy and the bartender poured us a sample of four different whiskeys. The #11 was my fave. A nice rye. Not too spicy. I also purchased a bottle of dark cherry infused whiskey and a 4 pack of Irish Red Ale, which was nice. They had a DJ with trivia on a Thursday night.

We only got one beer and it was a beer type we don't often get, a Dunkel style beer with a funny name called Creepy Uncle. The logo is fun on the bottle and it will be a name for a beer I won't soon forget. With the beer in the flavor profile you can expect to find maltiness witha hint of vanilla and nuttiness with an appropriate amount of sweetness. The beer is smooth and light bodied. It's a good one to sit down to and relax when you have that desire to unwind.

Hoyne Brewing was a brewery where I wanted to try their beer quite badly. I read good things about…read moreit and it's overall Yelp average is a good score so this was a brewery that was high on my priority list to try out on our trip to Victoria. The beer that I got didn't disappoint in the slightest. I had the Hoyne Pilsner which was so good! Very refreshing for the muggy summer day we were experiencing. Characteristics in this flavor profile are hoppy with some sweetness and a clean finish. The beer is smooth and also very light bodied which makes this a perfect summer beer to enjoy and if you can have more than one of.

I first tasted some of Hoyne Brewing's finely-crafted beers during a family stay in Victoria a few…read moreyears ago. After reading about their products before the trip, daughter and I were anxious to try them. And though we never got to the actual brewery location, we had no problem finding their brews for sale in liquor stores, and to enjoy in pubs throughout the city. Our very first tastes were via pub 'flights' of draught products, and they sure scored high on our taste tests. 'Dark Matter', a wonderfully, dark and delicious ale, became one of our trip favourite brews. I found out recently that the government liquor stores here (Vancouver & vicinity) were carrying some of their products. So when out to catch some Christmas cheer, daughter and I looked for it, and were very happy to find, and be able to catch six-packs of both 'Dark Matter', and 'Shine On' (an India Pale Ale). I was fortunate, and able to purchase the last on the shelves -- and when home, split them, so we could have tastes of each for Christmas. Dark Matter sure lived up to our memories, and Shine On was such a delightful, new taste treat. So glad these wonderful brews can now be found here -- it will definitely ensure not having such long times between tastes of Hoyne's brews from now on!!

The bartender was unintrusive, but also very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. It was happy hour, so hello discount. I don't remember quite what it was, but happy hours always make me, well, happy. It was maybe a few dollars off the price (pro tip, tip your servers on the full amount!). I've seen other people say you might need reservations but we walked right in and sat at the bar, and it was actually not very populated at all. We didn't have food, but the menu looked good. Some people love Scotch Eggs (I am not one of them) and it's rare to see it on the menu. We meant to go back another day to get one, but ran out of time. If I make it back to Victoria any time soon, I'd love to have a real meal here.
