I got the Throwback burger n fries. He has the salt n pepper chicken wings. He was very impressed with how crispy, yet juicy they were. Burger was okay. Tasty, a bit small for the price, yet I was still full after so it's for the best. Fries were a crispier version of McDonald's fries...came with a ketchup hybrid...a bit spicy. Was good! I finished with another beer, Hop Smuggler.

We have had the chance to try Left Field cider from farmers markets and the odd time we have found…read moreit at liquor stores. On a recent drive back to Vancouver from the Prairies we were able to stop in to this beautiful location not too far from Merritt BC. We had a chance to sample a few of the ciders which varied and taste and then purchased a few bottles. We were able to crack open a bottle and enjoy it on a bench outside and taking the peaceful surroundings. They are one of our most favourite ciders we have ever had and this visit was a treat. You can also purchase some other small local goods in their shop.

My fav cider you ask? The Rhubarb infused creation from Left Field Cider Co. of course! Left Field…read moremakes handcrafted, small batch, artisanal English style ciders north of Merritt at Mammett Lake, a gorgeous area. 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! Woot! They have no doubt inspired me to jump on the cider wagon!

Old school car themed brewery in downtown Penticton. Think Herbie…read more Parking is available on the street. The interior has that gritty blue collar feel. Very well done. Feels like a gas station from the 1960s. They have a raised stage, which I imagine hosts live music on certain nights. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of my visit, they had 11 beers, mostly on the light side. Great for some easy drinking. Everything hit the spot. This place does have some food as well, though I didn't try. Worth checking out if one is in the 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.

Cannery (I think?) themed brewery in downtown Penticton…read more Parking is available on the street. The place is basically a decorated warehouse. High ceilings, and the paintings on the wall give it a bit of a gallery feel. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of my visit, there were 11 brews. Most are light to medium. Beers were tasty and hit the spot. Buddy and I also got free popcorn with our beer purchase. Bonus. Who doesn't like popcorn. This place does have a decent food selection as well, though I didn't try. Worth checking out if one is thirsty.

Cannery has no food menu to speak of, great if you only want beer, but a food choice would be nice.read more

Kettle River Brewing and Provisions Catering have partnered together to create a local brewing and food experience that is amplified by its great service (thanks Haida and Ben) and amazing decor. Chris and Russ feature local art, and one of the artists is the aforementioned Ben (Ben Arcega). His stylized 3x4 foot portraits are the reason I chose the seat at my table. I wanted to see them more! And Provisions Catering?!? Wow! If anyone knows Bruce Draper (and I do because he is my husband) you know he is a student of food. He is not easily blown away. Jake and Chris' calamari dish left Bruce dazzled. He is still talking about it and we are already home. The burgers were delicious, the home fries and homemade sauce were memorable. We asked for seconds. We wanted thirds. Thank you to the creative and skilled forces behind Kettle River Brewing Co. and Provisions Catering. As I finish writing, Bruce is still raving. He is talking about who he will bring there on our next night out. Anyone want to join us?! @kettleriverbrew @provisionsatkettle @benarcega

Cute microbrewery that sometimes has live music…read more There's no table service, which is totally fine. You order your food at the counter, pick it up yourself, and grab your own cutlery and water. I'd definitely skip the food, though. The portions were surprisingly small for the price. We ordered chicken wings, which weren't typical wings, a cider, and one entrée, and the total was $75. For the portion sizes and self-service setup, it felt VERY overpriced. There's also no kids' menu.

Easter Island (moai) themed craft brewery in the downtown part of Summerland…read more Parking is plentiful on the street. The joy of small towns. Place has a more than enough seating. The indoor area is split into 2 adjacent areas. There is an E facing patio as well. Staff are friendly. No complaints. As of the time of my visit, there were 8 beers available. Most are light to medium. The one that stuck out for me was the apple lager. Definitely something different, as it wasn't a cider. The place also has cocktails and 3rd party ciders. They also have some diner type food (appies, burgers, sandwiches) though I didn't try. Probably good place to eat if one is in the area. Buddy and I had a good time. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point.
