Pacific Brewery
Victoria, British Columbia, Canada · Est. 1884
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Short-lived, and that is very nearly all that is known. It appears in SFU's archival timeline of Victoria breweries and nowhere else in this archive — no closing year, no brewer, no beers. Kept as a record rather than written up, because the alternative to an incomplete entry is an invented one.
