Lakesider Brewing Co.

West Kelowna’s newest brewery is smack dab in the middle of wine country on Boucherie Bench overlooking Okanagan Lake, but here the focus is on crowd-pleasing classic craft beer styles. Since opening in April 2021, Lakesider has quickly become a community hub in West Kelowna, and for good reason. The purpose-built brewery and tasting room features a dog-friendly, heated patio, perfect for soaking up the Okanagan sun. Inside you’ll find regular live music nights, ping pong, and even a private meeting room that’s open to the community to book for meetings and events. 

The brewery has already hosted charity fundraisers to give back to the community, helping to support the local food bank.

Naturally, given its location, Lakesider also offers an impressive selection of local wines and ciders. As for the beers, they run the gamut from hazy IPAs to fruited sours, and everything in between. With 14 taps—including two nitro taps—you’re always sure to find something fresh and delicious, whatever style of beer you’re into.
