Exploring the craft beer scene in British Columbia by visiting breweries is a terrific idea. There is something for everyone at the province's nearly 230 craft brewers. There is a huge selection of flavours and types to pick from, including small nanobreweries and large-scale businesses. There is something for every beer enthusiast, from the traditional IPAs and Pale Ales to Sours and Stouts. A trip to one of the several taprooms and brewpubs is a fantastic way to try the fresh beer, engage in conversation with the enthusiastic brewers, and get knowledge of the brewing process. The craft beer scene in British Columbia is guaranteed to have something special for you, whether you're a lover of a particular style or are just looking to experiment.​
