Additional Information
Art and beer serve as prime reflections of a locale’s intrinsic spirit. The art encapsulates regional sentiments, customs, history, current happenings, hardships, victories, and even climatic conditions. Each wall painting tells its own tale, and we strive to introduce you to both the narrative and its author. Your experience will culminate in a profound connection with the art, the artists, and the locality.
Local breweries harness regional ingredients to concoct beers that are distinctively influenced by the local harvest. The craft beer tradition in Victoria has deep roots, and this tour offers a chance to partake in some unique, time-honored practices.

Unique and fascinating - We had a fascinating tour with Jamie. He was very knowledgeable and tailored the tour to our needs. He willingly exceeded the three hours by a long way and included various tips and suggestions for us. Thank you Jamie, we have some great memories of Caldery.

By chance, I ended up... - By chance, I ended up getting a solo tour with Sarah. She was very knowledgeable about all the beers we sampled and humored me when I peppered her with questions about Canadian culture and history. The murals she showed me on the sides of buildings were quite interesting, but I would say this is first and foremost a brewery tour. I realize some of my experience was shaped by the fact that I was interacting with her one-on-one, but I would absolutely recommend the experience.

Fun, perfect amount of walking. - It seemed like we were given access to areas that most people would not see when visiting the brewery. It was surprising to see so many wall murals. Most locals are probably not aware of the locations. Our guide Sarah was also amazing :)

Great beer and cool art! - This fantastic tour got us off the beaten track and introduced us to both art and beers we wouldn't have found on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, art, and beer. It was a great experience overall.

Beer and Art - Sarah was a fantastic tour guide. Super knowledgeable and passionate about both beer and her city. So many interesting tidbits and sprinkles of fun facts that made the whole tour fun and interesting. She made sure to tailor the trip to the tastebuds of the entire party and even found a sour beer that I did not hate!
Great way to spend time getting to know Victoria!

Great beer, great company!! - Great tour and great company. Sarah took us through the whole brewing process and answered so many questions we had. She listened to what we liked and geared the samples to that for us to try which was something you don’t get everywhere. Introduced us to some great new types that we will be looking out for back home in the East Coast. The murals and background of the paintings were really interesting and it was great to see the talent in the city. Definitely worth the time to do this tour!!

Art and Beer: together at last - Sarah was a fantastic host! The art was eclectic and the neighbourhood (Rock Bay) was a hidden gem. Kelsey at VI Brewing was knowledgeable and the tour informative. Ike Sauvage was our favorite beer flight. Would definitely recommend for locals and out of towners.

Fantastic Beer/Art Tour - I recently did the Craft Brewery and Street Art tour and it was such a great tour! Loved the brewery tour, learned a ton about different brewing styles and very cool to see the whole production of craft beer. Loved the three different breweries, all with their own unique style of beer! The tour guide Sarah definitely knew her stuff, she shared great info about the different beers plus had great story telling about the local art murals. It’s a fun, unique tour that highlights awesome breweries and gets you seeing art and areas of Victoria I had never explored before! HIGHLY recommend
