Sooke Oceanside Brewery, born and bred out of the desire to bring the love of craft beer to our west coast community of Sooke, British Columbia.
Ryan Orr founded the brewery after an idea was born during a successful career as an executive chef. His downtime and passions were entertained in his garage – brewing beer. Dam good beer. The family began to grow. Priorities began to evolve. Ryan wanted to create an exceptional beer, build a local craft brewery, and introduce others to a phenomenal beer experience they had never seen before. Head brewer Garritt Lalonde joined the team, bringing expertise, creativity, and a passion for brewing solid, classic, great-tasting beer.
Sooke Oceanside Brewery has evolved into a foundation of a lifelong journey with family, friends, and the oceanside community, manifesting a long-standing, award-winning labor of love.
