Southern Interior Ale Trail

No matter what your favourite activity is, you’ll be able to pair it with delicious craft beer in the communities of Kamloops, Shuswap, Vernon and Merritt. From Merritt up to Kamloops, across to Salmon Arm, and then down to Vernon, the craft breweries here reflect the geographic diversity of the region with their own individual approaches.“All roads lead to Merritt.” Indeed, this small city in the heart of the beautiful Nicola Valley is easily accessible off the Coquihalla Highway. A little farther north, the rolling hills and fragrant sagebrush of Kamloops invite a sense of improvised adventure for families and urban and outdoor adventurers. Follow the Trans-Canada Highway east along the shores of sparkling Shuswap Lake to Salmon Arm and then continue on to Vernon, a small city that packs a big punch when it comes to things to see and do.For a full travel itinerary to inspire your Southern Interior ale-venture, head to the BC Ale Trail website: Southern Interior Ale Trail.Thinking about visiting this region in the winter?
