Crannóg Ales

JUNE 2025: Crannóg announced that they have sold to BNA Brewing, and BNA Brewing is now making Crannóg’s beer at BNA facilities in Kelowna and Vernon. The classic Irish ales will continue to be brewed according to their long-established recipes, using their same organic ingredients and with hops from Left Fields Organic Farm. Growlers will be available for sale at the Salmon Arm Farmers Market and the brewery, and you can still come for tours until Labour Day. on Friday and Saturdays.

This brewery was founded in 2001 by two ardently political brewers, Rebecca Kneen and Brian McIsaac, who left busy urban lifestyles in Vancouver behind to create this unique brewery on a ten-acre piece of land located halfway between Kamloops and Salmon Arm. They brew only organic ales, focusing on local and seasonal specialty ingredients, most of which come from their farm. Their experiences growing their hops led Rebecca to publish a manual on hop growing, which in turn has helped spark a revival in hop growing throughout British Columbia.

Crannóg celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2020.
