Howl Brewing is an independently owned and operated nano brewery, located in Esquimalt,BC. We opened in June 2018, although the project was in the works for a couple years. Our focus is small batch high quality craft beer made from BC grown ingredients. Our ever changing menu is often dictated by what is available locally. Being a small brewery, customers can look forward to trying beer styles that are obsolete, beer that showcases local farms, traditional styles, as well as learn about beer from the staff. Join us on the adventure!
We moved from our North Saanich location April 2024 into Esquimalt. We are currently only brewing on location (no onsite sales) with a planned tasting room estimated to open in 2026. In the meantime, find us at many farmers markets and events, as well as in many private liquor stores, pubs and restaurants.
