AboutWhistle Buoy Brewing
Whistle Buoy makes small-batch beer in the lower courtyard of Victoria’s historic Market Square. Its founders share a love of the ocean and the outdoors, reflected in the diving-inspired name of the Low Vis Hazy IPA series. Low Vis keeps an oat-rich base while changing the hops between versions.
The brewery works with Pacific Northwest ingredients, including local malt in some recipes. It also makes non-alcoholic beer in very small batches, using a specialized yeast and hand-pasteurizing the beer rather than removing alcohol after fermentation.

Crisp, clean and deliberately refreshing, with locally grown Pilsner and Vienna malts giving the palate a light grain foundation. Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops add a restrained traditional accent without disturbing the lager’s easy line. Cold fermentation, transfer, conditioning, canning and storage reinforce its bright, direct character. Serve properly chilled with fries, grilled sausages, roast chicken, shellfish or a simple plate of mild cheeses.

Soft and smooth, with oats in the grain bill building the beer’s characteristic haze and rounded mouthfeel. This is a rotating hop series, so the exact flavour shifts from release to release; the stable house profile keeps tropical fruit at the centre. Fresh and approachable, it balances expressive hop aroma with an easy texture. Serve well chilled with fish tacos, spicy noodles, fried chicken or young cheddar.
