Kelowna and West Kelowna Ale Trail

This region’s craft beer scene dates back 25 years, and a recent surge of new breweries and its own annual beer festival has given it fresh energy.

Southern Interior Winter Ale Trail

Winter doesn’t slow anyone down in this wonderland of outdoor and urban activities. Explore the communities of Merritt, Kamloops, Salmon Arm, and Vernon in the snowy season.

Southern Interior Ale Trail

From Merritt up to Kamloops, across to Salmon Arm, and then down to Vernon, the craft breweries on this ale trail reflect the geographic diversity of the region with their own individual approaches.

Penticton Ale Trail

Between the beaches, vineyards, vistas, and craft breweries, this small city is definitely one of BC’s best-kept secrets, and a place you’ll want to visit year-round.

BC Farm-Based Ale Trail

Anchored by BC’s farm-based breweries, the BC Farm-Based Ale Trail is built around the breweries that have always had one foot in the soil — inviting farm-based cideries, BC Farmers Markets, agritourism experiences, and farm-based accommodations to join them in showcasing the best of each region.
