OUR HISTORY

WHEN WE BEGAN WORKING ON THE IDEA OF STARTING A BREWERY, IT WAS A LONG SHOT TO SAY THE LEAST. SMALL, HYPER LOCAL PRODUCTION BREWERIES WERE A RARITY IN BC AT THE TIME AND OUR SURFY PRIORITIES HAD, IN NO WAY, PREPARED US FOR THE COMPLEX WORLD OF CRAFT BEER. BUT, ARMED WITH ZERO EXPERIENCE AND A COMICALLY SHOESTRING BUDGET, WE WENT FOR IT ANYWAY. TOFINO BREWING CO. OPENED IN APRIL 2011 WITH TWO BASIC IDEAS IN MIND: TO BREW GREAT BEER AND BE A POSITIVE ADDITION TO THE TOWN WE LOVED. OVER THE PAST DECADE PLUS, TOFINO BREWING HAS GROWN ORGANICALLY INTO THE LOCAL FIXTURE IT IS TODAY. WE ARE INCREDIBLY PROUD TO BE PART OF THE TOFINO EXPERIENCE FOR LOCALS AND VISITORS ALIKE AND HOPE TO CONTINUE TO BREW BEER FOR THE COMMUNITY FOR YEARS TO COME.

PRODUCTS OF OUR ENVIRONMENT

THE BEER WE BREW IS A NATURAL EXTENSION OF THE ENVIRONMENT AROUND US. THIS CONNECTION INFORMS AND INSPIRES THE CREATION OF OUR AUTHENICALLY WEST COAST BEERS. SEE OUR ROSTER OF BEERS BELOW.

Explore our core lineup

TOFINO LAGER

ABV: 5.0%
A clean, crisp traditionally brewed domestic style lager. Fermented cold and conditioned slowly, this refreshing and bright beer finds its strength in simplicity. And crushability.

LIGHT WAVE XPA

ABV: 3.5%

Experience the radiant hop luminescence of our extra light and pale XPA. Bursting with bright tropical and citrus aromas, this beer offers a balanced flavour profile of bready malt, a firm bitterness, and a wave of citrus and tropical hops. Its light body and refreshing finish make it both interesting and incredibly quaffable.

PILSNER

ABV: 5.0%

A traditional Bohemian Pilsner brewed with European malts, ample Czech Saaz and Tettnang hops. With notes of lemon and spice, this earthy and bitter-balanced brew is our nod to the old

New Zealand Dry Hopped Pilsner


Surf Wax Series

ABV: 4.8%

This dry-hopped Pilsner is a modern take on the classic lager style. Infused with the vibrant character of Wai-iti Hops, resulting in a refreshing beer with a snappy bitterness and a burst of Southern Hemisphere aromatics, finishing bone dry, it’s a pilsner for hop lovers

BLONDE ALE

ABV: 5.5%
A local favourite and brewery mainstay. Authentically craft in its conception and unwavering in quality and dependability. The Blonde Ale is a highly drinkable go-to for any occasion.

Sunshine Daydream

ABV: 4.2%

A sunny, golden sour with a kaleidoscopic consonance of pineapple and mango

Tofino Hazy IPA

ABV: 6%

This modern New England IPA uses Saturated Biotransformation haze to bring the natural fruity hop aromas to the forefront. It features dank citrus, low bitterness, and a heavily hazy appearance.

ETHEREAL IPA

ABV: 6.7%
This IPA eloquently introduces its Eureka and Cashmere hops. Heavily hopped and beautifully balanced, straight from the ether.

COSMIC WAVE DOUBLE IPA

ABV: 9.0%
Join us on a transcendental journey free from the shackles of physical existence and beyond the known realms of consciousness. Let your mind's eye guide you to the astral planes of extrasensory non-being where we will collectively ride the cosmic waves of unity deep inside the endless barrel of the infinite void. Also, this is a strong, hoppy beer.

TUFF SESSION ALE

ABV: 5.0%
Our Flagship - the first beer we ever brewed. We call it a west coast pale ale but it really lives in a category all its own. Full flavoured toasty crystal malts balanced with PNW hops. Tuff City brewed.

Tofino Porter

Tofino Brew Co X Chocolate Tofino

ABV: 7%

Crafted with hand-poured caramel, as well as sourced cacao and vanilla beans. The result is smooth, dark, and indulgent, with aromas of caramel, cocoa nibs, and a hint of vanilla. The elevated 7.0% ABV adds a gentle warmth.

DARK LAGER

ABV: 4.5%

Our take on a classic German Schwarzbier. Rich, roasted malt notes harmonize with the clean, crisp character of a lager.

KELP STOUT

ABV: 6.0%
Brewed with local, sustainably harvested kelp, this beer is born from the pacific coast. Strong, full bodied, showcasing deep, dark roasted malts. The salinity of the kelp provides an incredibly unique umami-like balance to the sweet, malt body - think salted dark chocolate.

summer 2025 seasonals

spruce tree ale

ABV: 6.5%

This very special seasonal release has become our most anticipated and sought-after beers. Conditioned with fresh, hand-picked Sitka Spruce tips, this beer is a springtime walk in the rainforest - in a glass. Celebrating 10 years of Spruce Tree Ale .

SURFEZA

ABV: 4.0%

SOLD OUT

A sunny, golden sour with a kaleidoscopic consonance of pineapple and mango

A light and refreshing Mexican lager inspired by surfy and sun soaked cervezas. Motueka hops for a hint of lime and citrus.
