Lighthouse Brewing Company is a brewery in Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada.[1]

History

Lighthouse was founded in 1998 by Paul Hoyne[2] with an investment of $750,000CAN. At that time the company had a single brewer, and produced draft beer in batches of 2,000 litres.[3] Its first product was Race Rocks amber ale.[4]

By 2005 the company was operating a canning line.[5]

In 2009 the brewery was in the news when its owner at the time, Dave Thomas, was prevented by British Columbia liquor laws from selling the company's beer in a pub he owned.[6]

In 2012, the company's beverages won three prizes at the British Columbia Beer Awards.[7]

In 2013, Lighthouse extended its operations into a nearby 6,000-square-foot space and expanded production from four to seven regular varieties.[4] It also stepped up brewing of specialty brews and opened a "growler" station at which visitors can test these on site.[8] Siren Red Ale won the 3 Degrees Marketing Trophy at the Australian International Beer Awards for Best Amber/ Dark Ale.[9][10]

Products

Lighthouse Brewery names its beers after nautical themes in British Columbia.[11]

Lighthouse brews a variety of types of beer in small batches, including stout,[12][13] light and dark ale, lager, and single batches of specialty beers.[14] The labels for its products are designed by local artists.[15]
