Our third and last stop was at the Victoria Caledonian Brewery & Distillery. Both the distillery and their brewery, Twa Dogs, is under one roof. They claim to be Canada’s first equity crowdfunded brewery-distillery.
Hours.
You can become an owner for as little as $250!
We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 4:00pm) and it was packed. Their tours ($20.95 to 49.00 per person) are extremely popular.
The tasting room is spacious with three large communal tables to sit at along with a few seats at the bar.
Closeup of their beer taps.
Merchandise (umbrellas, glassware, hats, t-shirts, etc.) is spread throughout the room.
Closeup of their coasters.
Beer fridge was well stocked.
Couple posters of their beer flavours. Click here for their beer and distillery descriptions.
Their happy hour (Monday to Friday, 3:00pm to close) has to be one the best I’ve seen in a long time. Only $5.00 pints and flights!
Super adorable that they allow dogs inside; we saw two chilling with their owners.
Flight ($9.00 for 4)
We tried the white stout (seasonal), chili chocolate milk stout, parting kiss bourbon barrel age and rapture of folly cherry sour.
White stout was like a light coffee lager. Chili milk stout had a hint of spice at the end.
Bourbon ale was the smoothest we’ve sampled for a barrel aged beer. B liked the cherry sour the most but I thought it was just so-so.
Another decent brewery but none of their beers really distinguished themselves from the rest.
