In this episode of the Cascadian Beer Podcast, Aaron visits Penticton, BC.
Aaron recently travelled to Penticton in the Okanagan Valley.
In recent years, this region has seen a major boom in new craft breweries opening, but there are a couple that have been around for decades: Tin Whistle Brewing and The Barley Mill Brewpub.

Some facts that Aaron discovered on his visit include:
- Tin Whistle just celebrated its 25th year!
- The Barley Mill only started brewing beer in 1997 even though it opened in 1982.
- Tin Whistle won a Canadian Beer Award for a beer not many people could try.
