Red Collar Brewing
BC Ale Trail
The Kamloops craft beer scene is small but it packs a punch, offering a standout experience among BC’s brewery destinations. With five micro-breweries in town, it’s that much easier to check them all off your list, and maybe even double back to your favourites! Why not, eh? After you drink (and eat) your way through our five micro-breweries, stop by one of the local cideries or distilleries for a sip of something with more heat than the summer sun.
Best Kamloops breweries to visit
Bright Eye Brewing
BC Ale Trail
Bright Eye Brewing
Come for the brunch, stay for the beer! Bright Eye Brewing is the first craft brewery on the North Shore that brews an ever-changing variety of innovative beers (Strawberry Pineapple Sour? Yes, please!) served right from the tanks they were made in. Not around for brunch? Fill up on the locals' favourite Crispy Brussel Sprouts. And a pint or two, naturally.
Red Collar Brewing Co.
BC Ale Trail
Red Collar Brewing Co.
You get a two for one deal at Red Collar Brewing since it’s also the home of Gin Lane Distillery. Named after the red collar their late labrador Goosey always wore, Red Collar Brewing creates European-influenced brews and has a food menu designed to be shared. If it wasn’t clear in the name, the taproom is open to fur and human children as long as they’re accompanied by an adult.
The Noble Pig
Brandon Wu
Noble Pig Brewhouse
Instead of soaking up the sun (and a beer) poolside “jump” right in - the patio at Noble Pig is in a converted swimming pool. Intrigued!? Wait until you taste the beer. Kamloops’ first microbrewery offers house-made craft beer and a unique beer fusion cuisine cooked fresh in their from-scratch kitchen. Enjoy a solid selection of go-to Noble Brews, or check out the rotation of seasonal and specialty beers.
