Hoyne Brewing Company
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada · Est. 2011
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Fifteen beers in the core range, which is unfashionably many, and not one of them a hazy chasing a trend — a Dortmunder, a Czech half-dark, an Irish stout, a British ale. Sean Hoyne brewed in Victoria for two decades before opening his own place, and the lineup reads like someone who already knew what he wanted to make.
