There’s no need to invest in equipment and commandeer your kitchen.

You Can Easily Make Your Favourite Beer at VanIsle Wine & Beer Makers!

Beer Kits

We have the facilities and expertise to ensure you get a professional batch of beer every time. And since you’re the U in UBrew, you’ll pitch the yeast to start your batch and then bottle it when it’s complete. We do the rest.

From light to dark, from light ales and pale ales to lagers and specialty dark ales, we’ve got plenty to choose from. Whether you’re looking to make a batch of your favourite or want to try something new — whether you’re a beginner or an expert, we’ve got the beer kit you’re looking for.

Want to “hop up” your kit beer? You can do that! Add extra hops, dry malt extract, water treatments, specialty yeast or additional grain. When it comes to customizing your beer batch, we’ve got you covered!

Every kit makes a 5 gallon (23 litre) batch. That’s enough for approximately 66 standard (340 ml) bottles, or 36 “Bombers” (650 ml). Actual beer volumes will vary a little bit.

Craft Beer

There’s certainly a craft beer revolution going on. There are more than 200 craft breweries in British Columbia where only 10 years ago there were fewer than 40.

Hobby brewers are also joining in the fun—learning the basics, working with recipes and creating their own recipes. And you can join in too. Every Saturday, our beer kettles go on at 9:30am and start brewing the next custom batches of fresh craft beer. You can be a part of it. Give us a call, come on down and see how it’s done.

Our brewers make custom batches of craft beer, using your recipe or ours, and the brewer’s expertise.

Knowing how to treat the water, grind the malt, start the yeast, wash the yeast, recover the yeast, pitch the yeast and all the many and various steps in between are what we bring to the table. You bring enthusiasm and a thirst for good beer. (And oh ya, it’s all about the yeast!)
