Canada, BC: New nanobrewery LoveShack Libations now open for business in in Qualicum Beach

A new nanobrewery serving residents and visitors in Qualicum Beach on the northeastern coast of Vancouver Island is now open for business, Canadian Beer News reported on March 7.

LoveShack Libations was launched in mid-February (“aptly just in time for Valentine’s Day!”) by long-time homebrewer Dave Paul and his wife Rachel.

For the newly launched business version of LoveShack, Paul has set up shop at #1-4134 Island Hwy W. in Qualicum Beach, and is currently offering a line-up of four beers in bottles and on tap including D.P.A. (6.2% abv/50 IBU – “a darker IPA, plenty of body with a healthy blend of Northwest hops”), Crafty Cream Ale (5.5% abv/18 IBU – “smooth, slightly sweeter ale with a rounded mouth feel”), Precious Porter (5% abv/30 IBU – “full of rich dark chocolate and coffee flavours”), and Killer Kolsch (4.8% abv/25 IBU – “light, crisp lager/pilsner type beer that uses organic leaf hops from Maple Bay Hop Farms”).

LoveShack Libations is open on Wednesdays from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 4:00 PM.
