Rustic Reel Brewing Co

This absolutely sprawling family-friendly craft brewery and tasting room in Kelowna’s North End aims to bring the backyard campfire vibe to the heart of the city with its airy, high ceilings and expansive patio. The atmosphere is comfortable and familiar—as are the easygoing and approachable classic craft beers Rustic Reel brews. And thanks to its full kitchen, there’s a wide array of delectable dishes to pair with said beer, too.

Owner Susi Foerg pays tribute to her German roots with occasional German-inspired beer styles and menu items—so why not pair that dunkelweizen with a pork schnitzel and spaetzle, ja?

Rustic Reel’s beer-to-go and merchandise are available through its Tackle Box gift shop, which also features an assortment of locally-made specialty foods and crafts.

If you plan your visit for a Sunday, the brewery offers a make-your-own caesar bar and all-day brunch. The hair of the dog never tasted so good!
