Victoria - Where Beer Lovers Meet
Victoria is not only the capital city of British Columbia; it's also a hot tourist spot on the southern tip of Vancouver Island. The main reason for that is the natural beauty of Vancouver Island - the nature paradise. However, the tourists come here because of very nice, mild weather all-year-round, good hotel base and finally - because of excellent restaurants. Especially brewpubs... Yes, Victoria is the home to a number of world-class brewpubs, located very close to each other, which makes the popular pub crawls very easy. Some of them even offer on-site accommodation! Just read on...
