We went on a Wednesday night and sat at the bar. The outside patio was busy on the warm summer night. They have board games you can play...we chose connect four. I ordered a local pinto grid and my friend had a local beer. Both were good. You can get pitchers of beer and carafes of wine. The food was excellent. We had the pretzel knots with delicious beer cheese. The pretzels are homemade. The salad was made with fresh ingredients. The veggie pizza had homemade dough and fresh veggies. It was delish. We had friendly efficient service. It is a large place with plenty of seating.

Great spot to grab a flight of beer or fancy cocktail. Probably one of my fav spots to grab a drink in Kamloops. Friendly and happy staff and pups. Good beer, nice swag, fun spot!

One of the places to hit for craft beer (the other big one being Noble Pig) in Kamloops. Parking is available along Lansdowne. The tasting room here is so large that one would think it's more like a gastropub. Nope. There's no food here. Just beers. There were some people playing board games here, but the place seemed almost a bit too large, which gave the room an empty feeling. And this room doesn't even include the large outdoor patio. Guess the rent here must be cheap. With that said, this place can easily accommodate groups of 20 or more. Beers here are reasonably priced ($5 or so), though growler fills are pricier at $12-13. They also have a fridge of pre-bottled beers. I tried a flight. Maybe I was a bit biased at the time as I had just come from the Noble Pig, but the beers here didn't seem too special, other than the Tripel. And I'm not talking about the 9% alcohol content either. The coriander in this one definitely stuck out compared to the other 3 beers I had. This would be the one I would recommend. Of course, I didn't try them all either, so maybe there's something even better on the menu board. Definitely worth a trip out, along with the Noble Pig.

Nice beer on tap. Unfortunately, 2 beers are sold out (double dubbel and marzen) when we were there. Staff are attentive and responsive. Friendly and laid back atmosphere. The food/tapas list is not extensive so be prepared. Kitchen is within typical service time. Cannot say say about their food quality as Terra took over their restaurant when we were there today. Lamb burger ran out by 6:20pm? That's ridiculous. Plenty of seating for everyone. We just wish there is more eating options.

Red Collar Brewing is a strong addition to the British Columbia micro brewery scene and is an excellent spot to drink and enjoy the company of friends in Kamloops. Red Collar's biggest strength (to no surprise) is the great beer, they usually have around 8 varieties at any given time. Ranging from the lighter Blonde (IBU 32) to the darker I.P.A (IBU 78). I've tried probably at least 10 unique types of beer and have never been disappointed. If you're new to the beer scene, ask to have a sampler (flight) that affords you the opportunity to try 4 types of beers. my absolute favourite Red Collar beer has to the White IPA (IBU 52), it's strong while also being very refreshing, sadly it's usually only available in the summer. Another strength is the friendly, knowledgable staff, don't hesitate to ask them any questions about the beer. There's also a lot of fun to be had playing a board game from the many options avaiblable. Great hip music is always on and it adds to the lively atmosphere that's refreshing for Kamloops. So if you're a local who hasn't been or a visitor who's exploring Kamloops, go to Red Collar Brewing for the beer but stay for the atmosphere. Oh and just a tip for the new comers to the micro brewery scene, I.B.U stands for international bitterness unit.

Crannog Is a bit of an institution in the BC craft beer scene, and their great tour demonstrates…read morewhy! Rebecca, our host, clearly explained how organic sustainable farming is so important to both their products and their philosophy. From their unique well water to their seventeen varieties of organic hops to their chickens, sheep, and pigs to their large compost that maintains their farm soil, Crannog is a true model of sustainability and stewardship of our land. At the end of her fantastic explanation of the brewing process complete with tasting samples of various roasted barleys, we found our way to their perfectly tiny tasting room, The Bloody Stump. Their seasonal fruit ales are amazing, the Irish red ale and Back Hand of God stout fantastic examples of authentic Irish beer, and the dry IPA a great alternative to most other BC craft beer alternatives. Do the Crannog tour! It will give you a unique perspective of not only great beer, but a better appreciation of how we need to sustain the land that produces it. Make sure you contact them to book a time since they are very small and require advance notice.

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.

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!
