Local beers at British Columbia airports
Victoria and Vancouver
Victoria
At White Spot (open daily from 7am- 8pm) they serve two Granville Island beers brewed exclusively for White Spot at Granville Island in Vancouver – Nat Bailey Pale Ale and Nat Bailey Lager.
The Airside Café (5:30am-8:30pm from Monday to Friday and Sunday, 5:30am-8pm on Saturday) serves Lighthouse Lager, Beacon India Pale Ale, Race Rocks Amber Ale and Keepers Stout, from the Lighthouse Brewing Company in Victoria. The Lighthouse Brewing Company has been in business since 1998, and its Amber Ale is considered by many to be its best. Light-bodied and creamy, refreshing and enjoyable.
Vancouver
At the Jetside Bar in the Fairmont Vancouver Airport hotel, the local brews include Okanagan Spring 1516, Whistler Pale Ale and Russell Cream Ale. The hotel is above the US Terminal on Level 3 and open between 11am and midnight (Sunday to Thursday) and 11am to 1am (Friday and Saturday). The "1516" in the name Okanagan Spring 1516 stands for the Purity Law that was enacted in that year.
Elsewhere, you'll find Canadian, Rickard's Red, and the local Granville Island Pale Ale are served in HMS Host-run venues (such as Stanley’s Happy Landing Lounge, in the Domestic Terminal, before security).
