Kelowna Brewing Co.

Take a lesson in the classics at this off-campus craft brewpub.

Located mere metres from UBC Okanagan’s campus, Kelowna Brewing Co. has quickly become a favourite of the student body and local beer nerds alike, and for good reason. This lively brewpub features a whopping 24 taps of craft beer, with an even mix between their in-house brews and other local craft breweries. In addition to its extensive craft beer list, KBC also has a wide selection of local wine, cider, and cocktails. And thanks to its full kitchen and extensive menu, you’ll never leave hungry.

The tasting room offers sweeping views from its perch atop Academy Hill—but it’s the front-and-centre brewhouse that catches most people’s attention when they walk through the door, where you can get right next to the action on brew day.

Live music and trivia nights keep things lively in the evening, and don’t worry about leaving Fido at home—KBC welcomes your furry friends with open paws with a dog-friendly patio and house-made dog treats made from the brewery’s spent grain.
