16 Best Craft Breweries in Kelowna

“great food and laid back atmosphere“

“Absolutely love Kettle River Brewing! The rotating menu means so many options and we have yet to be disappointed! Thier beers are great as well! I work at a winery and when guests ask for food recommendations it is my first one!“

“Great beer and lots of fun with Music Bingo on Wednesday and live music on Friday’s!“

“I recently re-fell in love with Kombucha after visiting MotherLove Ferments. The staff are all so nice and their selection was AMAZING. Last couple of times I tried their Water Kefir drink which I recommend. I also love knowing that I am supporting a hard working local business. 10 stars!“

“Great owner, great place, great beer.“

“Delicious pizza! Fantastical beer! Immaculate vibes. Jackknife has been the highlight of my visits to Kelowna. Great concerts too! 🤘

Chill seating in the back with hops growing on the wall. Great tunes playing the whole time. The pizza is unbeatable too. Couldn't recommend this place more ❤“

“The London dog is my favourite beer of all time. A take on a London fog but in beer form. Perfectly balanced. Free pool. Dogs allowed inside and on the patio. Bring your own food as no kitchen or you can order takeout to here or there is usually the food truck outback.“

“I was able to snag the last sixer of this at a nearby Vancouver liquor store. They were plumb out otherwise! That says a lot about this beer. It isn’t the big bear we used to drink in the 90s (that was awful compared to this) but the price point is just as good. It certainly isn’t comparable to a warm coors light either. Although I appreciate the fact that the rapidly growing popularity of this craft lager is attracting negative Google reviews already (from Malcolm). My hats off to the brewmaster for that!!

In terms of taste, their lager is absolutely and undoubtedly a craft lager. The only comparable I’ve had is at Tofino Brewery, their lager which is on par with this is equally delicious but very hard to get unless on the island. I love my IPAs and pilsners but there’s something about the taste of an ice cold craft lager in Canada that’s unbeatable, worldwide. Thank you for this Big Bear, it’s why I’ve taken the time to write a nice review. Quick question…do you source the water for this delightful adult beverage from Bear Creek?

Oh and Malcolm, you can trust I’m a real reviewer, just look at the photo of my beer I’m enjoying now.“

“My partner and I shared two flights and two tasters - 10 beers in all. Every one was a great representation of its style. How often can you say that about a craft brew lineup! Awesome food and service, too. Cyndi is the best - she went out of her way to introduce us to Kelowna’s best brewery. These two West Koot’s dwellers will definitely be back!“

“The owner goes above and beyond for his patrons. Great beer, great atmosphere, super unique and cool decor and friendly crowd. Can't sat enough good things about this place!“

“They brew great beer and serve on site what more can I say?“

“I LOVE coming to the tackle box! They have the best London fog ever! It's perfect everytime. The staff are always so friendly when I come in and are very patient when I can't decide what bakery item I want to try. And did I mention there is a beer fridge?? Amazing!!“

“Rustic reel was our first stop on a Kelowna beer crawl. We really enjoyed the hibiscus sour and tequila lime gose. The gose in particular was a perfect summer beer. We also got food and really enjoyed the roasted side potatoes. We were there early on a Saturday and many patrons were working with coffee from the attached shop. It’s also a family friendly brewery. What stood out the most was the exceptional service from our server. I’d recommend rustic and reel to those visiting Kelowna!“

“One of the best logos I’ve ever seen!“

“The food was awesome and our server was beyond amazing. The server even went out of her way to make my toddler a kid friendly flight of drinks. 5 star“

“Great place, awesome food, super friendly service and great drinks. Highly recommended🥳“
