Prince Edward Island Brewing Company in Charlottetown is a place where the serious business of making good beer collides with a childâlike urge to smash a foamâfilled pingâpong ball. The taproom boasts actual pingâpong tables, a foosball rack and a Nintendo console that looks out of place only because the brews themselves are anythingâbut ordinary. You can order a flight of four taster beers and, if youâre feeling adventurous, try the Beach Chair Lager â a bright, slightly salty ale that somehow captures the feel of a seaside holiday without any sand in your shoes.
The food menu would make a typical brewery grin and hide its embarrassment; the dishes are wellâexecuted, complementing the bold flavors that flow from the taps. From hopâforward IPAs to maltârich stouts, the selection is broad enough to keep a connoisseur busy and a novice impressed. All in all, this is a craft operation that respects its ingredients, encourages a bit of friendly competition, and delivers beer that reminds you why the whole point of brewing is simple pleasure (the kind you donât have to explain to anyone).
The festival takes place at PEI Brewing Company on October 10, 2026, showcasing pickleâpacked bites, pickle beer, creative pickleâinspired dishes, and classic favourites. Attendees can compete in pickleâthemed contests, such as âShow Us Your Pickle,â âBrine Drinking Contest,â and âBobbing for Pickles,â while enjoying music from DJ Hype and local musicians Mat Hannah & Friends.
Reviewers praised Prince Edward Island Brewing Company for its spacious seating, entertainment options, and friendly staff. Beer selection is solid, with standout flavors like Beach Chair Lager. Food quality is also commendable, offering a pleasant brewery experience.
