Our family of 4 (Wife me and 2 sons 20 - 17) stopped here on our way down to Osoyoos. Great daytime atmosphere. Layed back. Guy behind the bar had me sample some excellent brews. I had a glass of the Chela Mexican Lager and it was great with the Nachos we had. Also grabbed some beers for the vrbo. I like the KBC and look forward to trying more of their beers next time I'm in the Okanagan. Cheers!?

Coming from the lower mainland, I was excited to try some craft brew places here in Kelowna and KBC did not disappoint. In fact the beers are so good, I'm going to try and get one of our tap houses in White Rock to carry some of their brew. From the IPAs to the stout to the Scotch Ale and the delicious Colada, they were so unbelievably tasty.

Food wise, the beef dip was really good especially if you get it made Philly Style with all the fixings, but the clear winner were the quesadillas. Stuffed full and so tasty!! And the staff were just lovely. So friendly and very welcoming. Love this place and I'm sad that it is 4 hours away LOL

The brewery is very beautiful, it’s got great branding, but sadly the beer is not good at all. Might be time to upgrade the brewer.

Nestled near the University of British Columbia campus, the Kelowna Brewing Company offers a culinary experience that dances on your palate. During my recent visit, I was serenaded by their specialty burger and Hazy Pale Ale—a duet that harmonized like a well-rehearsed orchestra.

Imagine biting into a burger that feels like a luxurious velvet couch for your taste buds. The patty, cooked to perfection, is juicy and tender, with a flavour profile as rich and nuanced as a classic novel. Each bite is a chapter, unfolding layers of savoury beef, smoky bacon, and tangy cheddar that meld together like the plot twists of your favourite thriller. The fresh lettuce and ripe tomato add a crispness that’s akin to a cool breeze on a warm summer day, providing the perfect balance to the hearty foundation.

The bun, a golden crown of fluffy delight, holds this ensemble together without stealing the spotlight. It’s lightly toasted, with a slight crunch on the outside and a soft, pillowy interior that cradles the ingredients like a treasured keepsake. The house-made sauce, a secret blend of spices, adds a zing that’s reminiscent of a sudden plot twist, leaving you eager for the next bite.

Before diving into the hearty main course, the house salad serves as a refreshing prelude. Imagine a lush garden after a morning rain, vibrant and full of life. The crisp greens are a symphony of textures, mingling with juicy cherry tomatoes that burst like tiny fireworks of flavor. Cucumber slices add a cool, refreshing crunch, reminiscent of a gentle breeze rustling through leaves.

The salad is dressed in a light vinaigrette, a tangy elixir that ties the ingredients together with the finesse of a skilled conductor. The dressing’s subtle acidity dances with the sweetness of dried cranberries and the nuttiness of toasted almonds, creating a balance that’s as delicate as a ballerina’s pirouette. It’s a starter that awakens the palate and sets the stage for the rich flavours to come.

Paired with this gastronomic wonder is the Hazy Pale Ale, a beer that pours like liquid sunshine. Its golden hue and frothy head evoke the first light of dawn breaking over the horizon. With the first sip, you’re transported to a serene orchard in the peak of summer, where the air is filled with the sweet aroma of ripe citrus and tropical fruits. This ale is as smooth as a silk scarf gliding through your fingers. The hops provide a gentle bitterness that’s more of a playful nudge than a sharp punch, balancing the sweetness perfectly. It’s like a well-composed melody, where each note—whether it’s the hint of mango, the whisper of pine, or the subtle undertone of apricot—plays its part to create a symphony of flavors.

Together, the specialty burger and Hazy Pale Ale create a culinary harmony that’s akin to a well-choreographed dance. The bold, robust flavours of the burger are complemented by the light, refreshing notes of the ale, each enhancing the other’s best qualities. It’s a pairing that’s as satisfying as finishing the last page of an engrossing novel, leaving you with a sense of contentment and a lingering desire for more.

Kelowna Brewing Company has truly crafted an experience that’s more than just a meal; it’s a journey of flavors that captivates and delights from the first bite to the last sip. If you find yourself in Kelowna, don’t miss the opportunity to indulge in this exquisite duet—it’s a performance worth savouring.

We were up here for a baseball tournament and our kids were looking for a change of pace after being at the ball diamond all day at 40 degrees. And we came here twice knowing It’s a college bar with our annoying kids and they were great! Thanks for the great service!
