White Sails Brewing

White Sails Brewing is a craft brewery and taproom at 125 Comox Road in downtown Nanaimo, directly across from Maffeo Sutton Park. Open since 2015, the brewery makes a rotating range of modern and traditional beers inspired by Island living, aiming for clean, crisp, quality brews that reflect the community around them. Its large, west-coast-inspired taproom pours those beers alongside ciders and wines, and pairs them with a food menu that highlights locally sourced ingredients and dishes from nearby producers. The space is spacious and welcoming, and the brewery is openly committed to keeping it an inclusive, safe gathering place for everyone. Taproom hours run afternoons and evenings through the week, with earlier openings on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Beyond the taproom, White Sails beers can be found in favourite local liquor stores across Vancouver Island, so there is usually a way to enjoy a pint whether you visit in person or pick some up to go.
