Before we headed back home, we decided to make a quick pit stop to try Iron Road Brewing. They're…read morelocated in an industrial area. We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (around 12:30pm) and it wasn't busy. Our server/bartender was friendly and came by to check on us several times. Their merchandise is run of the mill but at least they have some board games (Catan, Ticket to Ride, etc.) hidden in a corner. There was 8 beer flavours on tap along with a small food menu consisting of chips & bar snacks, nachos, burrito bowls, tacos and dessert. - Flight ($9.00 for 4) - we went with the red bridge pale ale, the juice train, boomer and railtie ($1.00 extra). I actually really enjoyed the look and feel of their flight cups! Favourite of the bunch was the juice train, a sour mango saison. You don't see too many sour mango beers; light and easy to drink but we wanted more punch in mango flavour. Boomer was sour in the slightest way. Red bridge pale ale was standard. Railtie, a barrel aged beer, had a bit of funk to it but didn't love it. Decent beers but nothing we haven't seen before at IRB.

Sounds like this may be an unpopular opinion but I would say the Noble Pig was mid at best. We came…read morein after a long day at a nearby hockey tournament so it was definitely a full house, but based on rave reviews we were expecting much more than what we received. The ambiance was chill and the booths were roomy and comfortable but sadly that was probably the highlight of the meal. The server was ok but not overly friendly or attentive by any means. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich, a pulled pork "bowl" and a small pizza. Nothing too crazy or over the top so we figured it was pretty simple and would be relatively fast. To our surprise it took a solid 40 minutes. We figured that one of the dishes may have taken a bit longer so we stayed patient, but when the food was served it was lukewarm nearing cold. The food was nothing special but maybe could have gotten another star had it been served hot. Sadly disappointed to be quite honest, the best part of the actual meal itself was the side of French fries that accompanied the pulled pork sandwich. Sadly, the menu prices definitely did not match the quality of food or rave reviews.

We read that The Noble Pig was the best restaurant in Kamloops so it was our first stop in town. We…read morearrived around dinner time and hungry! We were seated right away by a friendly host and our server who was super helpful throughout our visit. While we dined, the place got much busier and had a nice buzz to it. It had a distinct theme inside that aligns with its name and its selection of flagship brews. As I mentioned, we were hungry after a long drive so we obviously over ordered. We started with the Triple Threat Pull Apart Bread and the Crispy Pickles. Both were amazing! The bread was so soft and delicious and the pickles were savoury, but also spicy! Be warned! My partner ordered the Stuffed Yorkies because they weren't something we'd seen on a menu before. He loved them! The dish was three Yorkshire puddings stuffed full so it was also HUGE. I got the Flagship Mac and, honestly, for a place with multiple macs on the menu, it was remarkably unremarkable, unfortunately. Don't be discouraged, though! The quality of the rest of the food was so high that it made up for that tiny miss. If you're in Kamloops, check out The Noble Pig. They also have a great patio!

It was pretty low-key on a Tuesday night. Service was extremely helpful and prompt. There is a ton of different draft beers to select from, and the ones I tried were super good. I also couldn't decide whether to go for some interesting appetizers or their pizza. Because they have a pizza oven I went with the Canadian pizza, and it was very yummy. I went by myself so I had some nice leftovers to bring home. I would definitely give this place a shot if you are around this area.

Touted as Canada's first certified organic microbrewery, this place is about as good as it gets in…read moreterms of street cred. The place is about 1h out of Kamloops, and maybe 45 minutes from Salmon Arm. In case you're wondering, a Crannog is a Scottish (and Irish) stilted building, usually built on bogs. Getting here involves a turn onto a side street (literally an intersection, not an exit) right off Highway 1. A GPS helps big time here. Parking is available in the small lot in front of the building. There is barely enough room for 8 vehicles. Other than 1 type of brew during my visit, only pre-filled growlers were available. In other words, one cannot simply bring in a growler for a filling for most beers. Guess their operation is too small. I was able to fill my growler for $15, while my buddy picked up a pre-filled one for $20. Tours are available (free, but reservation required), which last about 1h. This is a special mention, because not only is it quite educational, but those who complete the tour get a free tasting (4 beers at the time of writing) at The Bloody Stump, their in-house tasting room. Definitely learned quite a few things. For example, almost everything used for brewing is produced on the property. The water is drawn from a well, and the hops are grown on site. The used barley is used to feed the hogs in a small pen nearby, and the hog poop is used to grow more hops. The tasting room is very cozy, but this is where one can try the different brews. Special mention goes to the Red Branch ale. This is probably one of the best craft beers I've ever had in my entire life. Yes, it's that good. I regret not picking up a pre-filled growler of that stuff.

I believe it's a stop on the BC craft brew tour. I got their lighter craft beer (named after Captain Krunch) and it was delicious - I was halfway through before I realized and I do not usually drink a whole beer let alone half. We were heading out of Canada at this point and I hadn't had anything "Canadian" yet so I ordered the poutine - wow, it was scrumptious. I loved that they had hot dogs on the menu, and that the kids were having so much fun there playing the abundant games left around the place (there are also retro arcade games). We chatted freely with the (I'm guessing) owner and just were left with an all around good impression of not only the restaurant but the entire town.

They use English & French dessert apples and everyday eating apples to create some delicious concoctions! This family run business started off with an idea to make cider in a bucket in their kitchen, and turned into a business after taking many cidermaking courses with some of the pros! They have a Bunk House dry hopped cider that is delicious and the perfect cider for all you beer lovers, made with Cascadian and Chinook hops. The School House ginger infused gives a nice warm and spicy punch of ginger. Joe Shack Rhubarb infused is obviously my favourite, I've never had a rhubarb cider before and now I'm obsessed! Made with local BC rhubarb of course! The Cook House is a raspberry infused, which makes it a little tart and sweet. Then they have their Big Dry, Little Dry, Pear Dry and English Dry. They also have a cider club where you'll get a case for Spring, Summer & Fall with free pickups in Merritt, Kamloops, Kelowna and Vancouver and starting at only $71 a case, that's under $6 a bottle!
