The B.C. beer renaissance first got a real toe-hold on Vancouver Island, where the early brewpubs were put together in the early 1980's. This brewery, originally called Island Pacific soon followed. It has seen some stormy seas since then, but a major change for the better occurred in 1995, when it moved to a larger, more visible, modern facility. Part of the plan at that time, which involved a revamping of all packaging, was to make more substantial in-roads into the mainland market. This does not quite seem to have come to fruition, although 6-packs of 341ml bottles are available at many liquor stores. Some brands available in 650ml bottles. Draft is available only on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver.
