On a recent road trip to the west side of Vancouver Island, I was able to sneak a peek inside the soon-to-open Ucluelet Brewing Company with Head Brewer Allan Cukier (formerly of R&B Brewing).

Located in the heart of Ucluelet at 1601 Peninsula Road, the new two-storey brewery is picturesque, housed as it is in a former church and perched on a hill overlooking the harbour. Previously, the building had acted as a community hall and event space after St. Aidan’s on the Hill was deconsecrated in 2010 and sold to a developer a year later. In 2016, new owners Dennis and Sarah Morgan proposed turning it into a brewery, an idea that was received with unanimous community support. Since then, the building has undergone extensive exterior and interior renovations, and I’m glad to report that it is finally nearing completion.
