Developed in partnership with 468 Communications and free to download, the BC Ale Trail app is the insider’s guide to craft beer in BC. Not only does the app feature more than 100 craft breweries, it also highlights 20 liquor retail stores and a handful of ancillary businesses. 

points

Using BC Ale Trail maps, the app displays pins that show brewery locations and indicate where points can be collected. Ten points are awarded per check-in. Breweries and businesses also have the option to offer bonus points, available for collection during events or special promotions.

Accumulated points can be redeemed for merchandise or discounts at participating rewards locations. The number of points required for a reward will vary by brewery and also depends on the reward being offered. For example:

“At Cannery Brewing, we were excited to roll out the BC Ale Trail app along with our colleagues on the Penticton Ale Trail. We have had really good feedback from both regular and new customers who are excited to be collecting points and redeeming them. We have had good redemption on points at Cannery Brewing, and customers are excited to be collecting our Cannery Brewing branded glasses!” -Kim Lawton, Marketing Director at Cannery Brewing
