The Sunshine Coast Ale Trail

The Sunshine Coast Ale Trail:

This is the West Coast beyond compare: deep sea inlets and coastal bays to explore by kayak or sailboat; interconnected lakes and rivers ideal for canoeing; rugged cliffs to climb and trails to bike; beaches and swimming holes for family relaxation. Wash all that down with beer from some of British Columbia’s most distinctive breweries.

Gibsons, on The Sunshine Coast, is where I live. The first three breweries in this video – Persephone (where my wife and I had our first date), The 101 and Gibsons Tapworks – are all within walking distance of our home. It really is a spectacular and naturally beautiful place. If you’re ever in the area for a visit, let me know – the first round is on me.

And check out some of the other “BC Ale Trail” videos. If you love beer and nature, there’s lots to choose from here in beautiful British Columbia. You should make plans to join me in Vancouver in September of this year for my “Starting Point Photography Photo Tourism Workshop” where I’ll take you around this beautiful area and teach you how to take better photographs with the camera you already have. And we’ll have a beer or three.

  1. Sweet! I live in the Victoria trail and am a Category 12 & Hoynes kind of guy.

    I’m looking forward to riding the Sunshine Coast, drinking beer, and taking one of Shawn’s workshops one day soon.

  2. Yeah we stayed in the caprice B&B when we were there and didn’t get to see one of the local breweries. When we get back, I‘ll have you have these three beers with us xD

  3. Live in North Van and coming across again has been on my list for a while. Been to Persephone but didn’t know about the other two. May try and get a posse together, three make it much more worth the trip.
