About Us
Swans Pub is a place where passion, hard work, and great beer come together every day.
BEER, HISTORY, & GOOD FOOD
There is a great quote that says “A pub is a poor man’s university.” In many pubs, ideas are shared, stolen, improved, bastardized and, more often than not, forgotten.
A pub has always been where the community gathers to celebrate the good times and commiserate the bad. A pub really is just an extension of our living room, and as such, we want people to feel welcome like they are at our house, so do us a favour and keep your feet off the furniture…
Small Batch Brewery
Swans Brewery is a hands-on facility where blood, sweat, and beers are part of the everyday cycle. It’s a brewer’s brewery, where beer is made by walking, crouching, turning, carrying, digging, scrubbing, lifting, sweeping, laughing, spraying, taping, hauling, rolling, twisting, delivering, speaking, touring, tasting, tightening, and loving.
SCOTT & PEDEN
The Scott & Peden Company builds a granary warehouse at the corner of Pandora Ave. and Store St. Here they operate a feed store that services all the farms in the Greater Victoria area.
Buckerfields
The Buckerfields company purchases the building from the Scott & Peden company to operate their downtown store. Buckerfields continues to provide services to local farmers.
Swans Pub, Brewery & Liquor Store
Having been open since 1989, Swans has been home to lots of memories, even if they’re a little fuzzy. We thought it was important to try and tell, not just the stories of Michael, but those that came before him as well. For over a century, people have been creating stories in this building, just not all of them are true.
