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, and have been brewing only on site until now (April 2026), but are very happy to announce that our new tasting room is now officially open for business!!!
Our hours to start are Wednesday 3-6 pm, Friday 3-7 pm and Saturday 12-5 pm.
See the "Visit" section for more details.
You can still also find us at many farmers markets and events, as well as in many private liquor stores, pubs and restaurants.
Free delivery available call 778-977-4695.
