VI Brewing - Mystic Haze Pale Ale

VI Brewing, based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, is dedicated to crafting approachable, flavour-forward beers inspired by the coastal landscapes and laid-back lifestyle of the West Coast. The brewery focuses on quality ingredients, modern brewing techniques, and creating beers that appeal to both seasoned craft enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.

Mystic Haze Pale Ale embraces the contemporary hazy style, emphasizing hop aroma and flavour over aggressive bitterness. Carefully selected hop varieties are added late in the brewing process and during dry hopping to maximize aromatic intensity while maintaining a soft, juicy profile.

A combination of premium malts and brewing techniques contributes to the beer’s signature hazy appearance and smooth mouthfeel. The result is a pale ale that delivers expressive hop character while remaining balanced and highly approachable.

The beer captures the spirit of modern West Coast brewing, combining freshness, flavour, and easy-drinking appeal.
