## About

From its humble home-brewing beginnings in a garage on Gladstone Avenue in Victoria, BC, Gladstone Brewing Company has since been established as a mainstay of the Comox Valley – a hub of activity, collaboration, and community.

Our creative brew team has a focus on tradition, with a flare for experimentation. Traditional styles of Belgian ales, European lagers, and Pacific Northwest style India pale ales are poured alongside experimental small batches. 

The Gladstone Brewing Co. heritage building operated as the Seale and Thomson mechanics garage and dealership in the 1940s. Taking inspiration from its roots, Gladstone Brewing Co. opened the doors to our mechanic-inspired, laid-back, tasting room in 2015. Our hand-made tap handles are created from vintage mechanics tools, flights come on upcycled vintage license plates and the room is scattered with carefully curated 1940s oil cans, hubcaps and toolboxes.
