By now you’ve no doubt at least heard of Twin City Brewing. Hopefully, you’ve also had the chance to enjoy some of their beers, but if you haven’t visited the brewery in person, I intend to make the case that you should plan a trip to Port Alberni at your earliest convenience.
Founded in 2017 by a local couple, Twin City has been earning accolades from the get-go: Best in Show at the 2018 BC Beer Awards; the BC Ale Trail’s Best Brewery Experience award in 2020; plus numerous individual awards on the provincial and national stage.
As highlighted by its second-place award in this year’s Best Food Program category, Twin City makes amazing pizza and smoked meat sandwiches alongside its stellar beer lineup, which features a mix of well-crafted classics and innovative boundary-pushing experiments.
And if you need any more incentive, there are two other great breweries in Port Alberni you can check out while you’re there, too. Other pluses include great weather, beautiful scenery and lots of local activities.
