Dark Matter: Deep, Deceptively Dark, Delicious! Is it a Stout? Is it a Brown? Is it a Porter? Dark Matter is elusive, soft on the tongue with hints of subtle roasted chocolate. Sometimes you need to go somewhere dark in order to see. Read Less

Sean Hoyne has always believed that a beautifully balanced Pilsner is the highest expression of the Brewmaster’s art. When perfection is achieved, it delivers a subtle and exquisite beer that stands alone with quiet confidence. Hoyne Pilsner is the culmination of over 30 years of Sean’s long love of making fine lagers – an authentic European beer that is very much worth waiting for. Read Less

Inspired by the natural beauty of British Columbia and all those who enjoy getting into the outdoors, Down Easy Pale Ale is a Pacific Northwest classic. Whether hiking the West Coast Trail, or paddling slowly across Moraine Lake, Down Easy makes for good company. Emerging artist, Joe Thoong, captured the beauty of that moment in a painting inspired by the style of the Group of Seven. Read Less

Helios is the second pillar in our devotion to fine lagers, inspired by a nearly extinct style of beer originating in Dortmund, Ruhr Valley, Germany. A robust, malt forward, export strength lager that is complex yet subtle, Helios reaches maturity after four to six weeks of aging. As it ages, it improves, developing into a true classic, time honoured lager. It is always a favourite amongst our brewers! Read Less

Frank Appleton started it all. He dreamt up, then engineered and built BC’s very first Craft Brewery, the Horseshoe Bay Brewing Co. He then went on to build numerous other breweries, imparting wisdom to a generation of would-be brewers on how to become Brewmasters, Sean Hoyne included. So please, let us all raise a glass to Mr. Frank Appleton, and say, Thanks! Read Less

Voltage Espresso Stout is what happens when you bring two of the world’s favourite past times together: coffee and beer. Our Espresso Stout is a happy marriage of British roasted malts and the rich aromatics of locally roasted, ethically-grown organic coffee beans. This beer is a tribute to all of the amazing local, independently-owned micro roasters and coffee shops. Read Less

This wet-hopped pale ale, brewed annually following the fresh hop harvest in September, is the culmination of a great friendship between Hoyne Brewery and the Hope Bay Hop Farm on Pender Island. On one special day every year, volunteers gather to pick fresh, aromatic hops, which are used to brew a single batch of Wolf Vine the very next day, capturing the rawness and fragrant intensity of island life.

Of all our beers, Gratitude is our most heartfelt and brewed with those close to us in mind. A style of beer that reaches back to the 15th century, this winter warmer is best in a snifter by a fire with someone you love by your side. We gather a group of friends every year to hand wrap each bottle. In honour of all those who make up our community, who add colour and meaning and spice to the lives of those around them, Sean wrote a prose piece; this year’s neck tag was designed so you can save it as a bookmark.

Proxima-B is an Earth-sized planet orbiting our nearest neighbour star, Alpha Centauri. Of course, we cannot directly see this planet, being 4.37 light years distant, but we do know it is there. What's more, it is in the "habitable zone", meaning it could support water, and therefore life. If you and I were standing on Proxima-B, enjoying a beer and gazing up at the night sky, we may not even notice our little Sun quietly burning away in a corner of the Galaxy, giving Earth life. Parallax. Shine on, beautiful Sun, Shine on. Read Less

Our interpretation of a modern West
Coast IPA, where classic flavors of citrus
and pine sap intersect with contemporary
IPA’s bright tropical juiciness and balanced
bitterness. Pale malts provide a blank canvas
for sticky spruce tips, pithy pomelo and
pineapple jam. Read Less

The efforts to make this as authentic as possible are remarkable: from Germany, we have imported Pilsner Malt from Durst Malts of the Hallertau region; we employ a specialized Kölsch yeast that ferments cool like a lager, but is actually a top-fermenting yeast, making it a true hybrid; we then age it cold in our cellar for a prolonged period of time, again like a lager.

Technically speaking, Kölsch is an Ale – but this conventional Kölsch process, which dates back to the early 17th century, delivers a bright and clear beer, with a straw-yellow hue that is endlessly drinkable and a perfect addition to our line-up of pilsner-style beers. Read Less

Overhead an albatross hangs motionless upon the air, and out where the ocean meets the sky, the sun is sinking into the sea like a ship on fire. The jungle behind us offers up the languid scent of the lotus flower, and the band is swinging soft and low. The air held its breath. Once the sun finally dropped, as if on cue, everything changed. The band found a funky new rhythm, a cool breeze came skipping in off the waves and lifted everyone out of their chairs: summer skirts swayed in tempe and the beach Fiesta was on! In a far corner of the night sky, the moon looked down and could not help but smile. Read Less

Svec (Shoemaker) is our interpretation of the Czech answer to Anton Dreher’s famous amber hued Austrian lagers. This Polotmavy Lezak, which translates to ‘half dark’, balances multi notes of toffee, brittle and dark raisin bread with the unique spicy character of Saaz hops. Strikingly bold yet elegant and refined, it’s the beer described by J Peterman as “the perfect vehicle for striding along the cobblestone chicanes of Prague’s shoe district… Sturdy, handsome, luxurious.” Read Less

"Cerveza, Por Favor!" The first three words to pack with you on your trip to Mexico. Then, because you are a polite Canadian, "Gracias Amigo!", of course. If you are not headed south, let this Cerveza bring you back to endless beaches, the shimmering sun, a cool breeze rustling through the palm trees, the best hole-in-the-wall taco bar ever, light summer dresses, a sizzling Mariachi band, and the midnight moon over the ocean. Be transported! -Sean Hoyne, Brewmaster Read Less

Fast cars and slow meals. Life in Italy is all about balance. Passionate pursuit of quality, in life, leads to a quality of life that could only come from this country's unique terroir. Our newest pilsner combines the subtle sweetness of barley grown in Eraclea, with the full spectrum of floral spice achieved through dry hopping with choice noble varietals Tettnang and Saphir. Refined, radiant and reminiscent all the same, this belladonna of balanced beers.

Deep within the cloistered confines of the St. Hoyner-dictus Abbey, one brother, Jacobus Bellend (It’s Flemish), is regretting his Vow of Silence. How will he shout to the steeple-tops his love of fine Belgian-Style Dubbels? Moreso, how will he share his most secret ingredient? Along with the ordained Dark Candi Sugar, our Merry Monk silently slipped in a divine dose of dark Canadian Maple Syrup. Dark fruit, warming strength and indulgent caramel. Truly a Revelation!

Is it civilized to stop whatever work you are doing between breakfast and lunch to enjoy a snack of bread, cheeses, perhaps a sausage, a pretzel with mustard, washed down with a delicious glass of Hefeweizen? The fine people of Bavaria certainly think so. They have been doing so for centuries. They even have a word for it: Brotzeit! I think we still have much to learn from our European friends!
TASTE: A glass brimming with banana bread, vanilla, and subtle spice yet refreshing as a cool Alpine breeze. Golden, hazy and fortifying. Read Less

Our take on this storied brew balances malty notes of toasted bread and caramel with the pleasantly bitter and unique minty character of Northern Brewer hops.
Born out of necessity and True Grit, the California Common (Steam Beer) was the daily bread of bone-weary and ever hopeful gold rushers. A pale amber lager loaded with Northern Brewer hops and a uniquely expressive lager yeast, these fine beers embody the ingenuity and gumption necessary to make it out West. Typified by the beloved Anchor Steam Beer, that for 127 years left the locals wondering if the fog was coming from the bay, or the brewery. Read Less
