Regions
Thompson Okanagan
Enjoy a wide range of craft breweries in this diverse region featuring views of the Rocky Mountains and vast desert landscapes, dotted with lakes, grasslands, and rolling hills.
Ale Trails in Thompson Okanagan
This region’s craft beer scene dates back 25 years, and a recent surge of new breweries and its own annual beer festival has given it fresh energy.
From Merritt up to Kamloops, across to Salmon Arm, and then down to Vernon, the craft breweries on this ale trail reflect the geographic diversity of the region with their own individual approaches.
Between the beaches, vineyards, vistas, and craft breweries, this small city is definitely one of BC’s best-kept secrets, and a place you’ll want to visit year-round.
Anchored by BC’s farm-based breweries, the BC Farm-Based Ale Trail is built around the breweries that have always had one foot in the soil — inviting farm-based cideries, BC Farmers Markets, agritourism experiences, and farm-based accommodations to join them in showcasing the best of each region including Parksville/Qualicum Beach, Cowichan, Saanich, Delta, Langley, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Penticton, Pemberton, Squamish, Gibsons and Sechelt.
