A new brew pub will be opening in the Chemainus Village Square at the former Riot Brewing location, Ladysmith Chronicle reported on January 24.

It will be a brewery featuring a small tasting room and be called Serious Brewing Co. The new business is owned and operated by the Wayne Procter Group which also owns Vancouver Island-based Serious Coffee.

Riot Brewing Co. opened in Chemainus in 2016 and closed its doors in January 2024 due to financial challenges.

Serious Brewing Co. recently obtained a liquor license and is preparing its product for sale. Michaela Sale, project manager for Vancouver Island with the Wayne Procter Group, said they hope to be open in a couple of months.
