Townsite Brewing

Top choice in British Columbia


An elder statesman of BC's craft-beer scene (which means it's more than five years old), this brilliant, Belgian-focused brewery occupies a heritage post office building. Take a free 3pm tour on Saturdays or sidle up to the tasting bar for a sip or three of Tinhat, Zunga or the only-available-here Suncoast Pale Ale. A four-glass tasting flight costs $8.

It's a good place to pick up a steel growler (don't forget to fill it) for your Sunshine Coast Trail hike.
