A short film brought to you

by Whistle Buoy Brewing and friends

Environmental stewardship, quality manufacturing, and commitment to low impact business have been core values at Whistle Buoy since the start.

Luckily, living in the productive growing region of Vancouver Island means we don’t have to choose between high quality or local ingredients, we get both! The raw ingredients we use in our beer is the single most important factor for the quality of the end product. This is the story of some of our beautiful ingredients from the seed to your glass, and the unsung heroes who work tirelessly to produce them. 

Featured  in this film include Kyle Michell from Field 5 Farms, Pamela Fox from Silver Rill Berry Farm, Jordan Cain from Maple Bay Hop Farm, and Amanda Swinimer from Dakini Tidal Wilds. The film was produced on W̱SÁNEĆ, Songhees, Quw'utsun, and T'Sou-ke territories.

Kyle Michell giving Matt and Isaiah a private tour of their malting facility, pictured above is the three of them taking a peak at their old school grain mill.

 

Pamela Fox sharing a laugh with Matt after a long day of harvesting, well for Pam. Matt and Isaiah spent the day snacking on the currants... If you've ever had a glass of our Currant Swill you'll understand.

 

Jordan Cain, Isaiah, and Matt having a couple pints and shooting the shit in the Maple Bay farmhouse - talking hops and looking back on our journeys so far.

At the end of the day, we love what we do, and we're so grateful that you've joined us for the ride. So relax, have a beer, and pet a dog.

 

Cheers!
