Lighthouse Brewing Company
About Lighthouse Brewing

Lighthouse Brewing Company is a "Quality First" progressive thinking micro brewery. We produce four distinct beers, Race Rocks Amber Ale, Beacon IPA, Keepers Stout, & Lighthouse Lager.

We began our brewing tradition in 1998 when the first kegs of Race Rocks Amber rolled out into Victoria's pubs and restaurants. Since then we produced Beacon IPA, Keepers Stout and Lighthouse Lager. Originally available only in draught we now produce the product in cans and our beers are available in over 450 locations across British Columbia.
