In this episode of the Cascadian Beer Podcast, Aaron visits Port Alberni, BC.<\/p>\n

Note: The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed the way we all live and work, and British Columbia\u2019s breweries have changed the way they operate to reflect that \u2014<\/span> temporarily closing their tasting rooms to the public and launching direct delivery services in many communities. While it isn\u2019t appropriate to visit these breweries right now, there is nothing wrong with learning more about them and dreaming about a trip you might want to take in the future when virus-related travel restrictions are lifted.<\/h5>\n

Back in early March, just before the COVID-19 pandemic arrived here in British Columbia, Aaron visited Vancouver Island<\/a>. After enjoying Lift Off!, the first night of Victoria Beer Week, Aaron headed Up Island to visit breweries in Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Port Alberni.<\/p>\n

This episode of the Cascadian Beer Podcast focuses on Port Alberni, a small city located at the heart of Vancouver Island with a long history connected to the logging and fishing industries. Just an hour west of Nanaimo, Port Alberni has lots to offer visitors, including a picturesque waterfront on the Alberni Inlet, which extends all the way to Pacific Ocean, and, of course, two craft breweries!<\/p>\n
