Crisp, clean, classic... Our Mount Benson IPA has been one of our best-selling brews since we opened our doors in 2015. 🙌

A modern take on a classic recipe, our Mount Benson uses a blend of Pacific Northwest "C" hops to deliver a classic punch of grapefruit, pine and citrus, while a hint of caramel malt adds a balanced sweetness to the punchy, juicy hop profile.

Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Island, the Mount Benson IPA can be found across Vancouver Island at private liquor retailers. 🌲

🎸 FREE MUSIC NIGHT — TOMORROW! 🎸

Grab your friends and get down to the Taproom tomorrow, Wednesday August 26th, for a night of great b**r and even better tunes. We’re stoked to welcome Andrew Rogers to our Taproom, an award-winning singer-songwriter straight from St. John’s, Newfoundland.

Expect powerful vocals, honest songwriting, and a rock/ country/Americana sound that’s been turning heads across the country. His single “Downtown” hit number seven on Newfoundland’s 103.9 New Country FM, and his co-write “Already Gone” just took home a 2025 East Coast Music Award. 🥇

Live music, zero cover charge, and a pint in your hand... what more do you need on a Wednesday? 🤘
