A
microbrewery is a term used to describe a small commercial
brewery. The term and trend originated in the United Kingdom in
the late
1970s to describe the new generation of small breweries which
had a focus on producing traditional cask ale.
Though originally
used to reflect the size of the
breweries, it gradually came to reflect an alternative attitude
and approach to brewing of flexibility, adaptability,
experimentation and customer service.

Driftwood Brewing Company
Driftwood Brewing Company was founded in Victoria BC in the
spring of 2008 by two very passionate and experienced brewers, Jason
Meyer and Kevin Hearsum. They wanted to make
and sell the kind of beer they liked best: beer that is fresh,
brewed in the tradition of classic world styles but with the finest
local ingredients.
To develop the sales and marketing of the new
brewery, Gary Lindsay joined the team in August bringing with
him years of successfully promoting craft beer in the local market.
With the depth of experience in the partnership, Driftwood is able to
brew with an adventurous spirit to reflect the tastes of the many who
are seeking to experience bold new flavors and rediscover some more
familiar styles. It is beer for everyone to enjoy!
Driftwood Brewing currently boasts three all-year round brews: Farmhand
Ale, a traditional Belgian Saison; Driftwood Ale, a perfect
marriage of German and Northwest hops; and the White Bark Ale,
a traditional Belgian style Wit. There are also two seasonal beers,
the Brother Bart’s
Brown, a traditional Belgian style Dubbel; and the Crooked Coast,
an amber ale inspired by the Alt-style beer of Dusseldorf.
