Copper Brewing
Located in Kelowna’s Landmark District, Copper Brewing strives to create a welcoming, inclusive venue for beer lovers and folks who want to learn more craft beer. This is not a place where you will have to worry about feeling like you don’t know enough to order a beer. With 20 taps offering a range of approachable options, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a comfortable environment, this is the ideal spot to get more acquainted with the world of craft beer. Beers like the bourbon barrel-aged Imperial Stout are good options for those seeking something a little more crafty.
In early 2022, the brewery purchased the restaurant next door and began serving a full food menu from its kitchen. Options include a range of gourmet hot dogs and burgers, wings, salads, sandwiches and more. Along with the beer, the taproom also has wine, cider, and beer-themed cocktails available for those who are looking for other options.
The name Copper is in honour of the co-founder’s dog who adorns the brewery’s cans. It also refers to the copper-clad boil kettle and mash tun in the brewery itself, which is run by Richard Fukumoto, who grew up in nearby Salmon Arm, trained in England, and then worked at a variety of breweries before returning to the Okanagan to take the job here.
Dog fans will love this brewery. In addition to its dog-themed can labels, the patio is dog-friendly and the tasting room has a wall covered in photos of dogs who have visited the brewery. Bring your own canine along to add his or her portrait.
