The hubby and I picked this beer up in Canada. We had it on tap there and it was just as good in the bottle as it was on tap. It's quite hoppy and worth picking up if you see one.
Check out the brewery's site for more info.

BREWERY REVIEW: Swans Brewery
Swan's is a brewery/brew pub in Victoria. Their actual address is 506 Pandora Ave. You can find their website here.
We were in Victoria to celebrate our anniversary and do some beer tourism. This happened to be the first brewpub we stopped at during our trip and I think it was the best. My review is based solely on the beer since that's all we had here.
We sat down here and bellied up to the bar. Our bartender, whose name is escaping me, was awesome. We decided to go for it and try one of each beer they had on tap. What else is vacation for? This produced quite the line of beers and we started in. The beers were all pretty good. Some either my husband and I didn't enjoy, but that was usually since the style wasn't our favorite.
As we worked our way through the beers, the bartender explained the history of brew pub, special things about the different beers, and even poured us little samples of other things. He gave us a sample of their root beer, which was also delicious. And he made a little concoction of the root beer plus the stout. OMG it was amazing!
Overall, it was a great experience and the hubby and I wished we had some more time in Victoria so we could have come back here!
