A New Brewery in Town
Lakesider Brewing is a young brewery located along the infamous Wine Trail in West Kelowna, BC. Since opening in 2021, it has quickly become a popular destination for locals and tourists to enjoy local craft beer in a laid back, welcoming environment. Inspired by the easy going feeling of being lakeside with your friends, this brewery embodies community, connection, and friendship. The Okanagan lifestyle is meant to be celebrated, and Lakesider is doing it through innovative craft beers and creating a fun social gathering spot. Whether you stop by to pick up a 6 pack for the beach or come to pair your delicious beer with a meal, you’ll be treated like family as soon as you arrive.
The property and location is unique to any other brewery you’ll come by. Nestled amongst the rolling vineyards and abundance of wineries that scatter the winding hills of West Kelowna, Lakesider is a welcome change during your Westside wine tour. Wednesdays are Trivia Nights, Thursdays are for Ping Pong, and live music is a weekly occurrence here, as Saturday nights invite a variety of local artists to jam out in this intimate venue.
Looking to host an event? Do it at Lakesider! With an event space that hosts between 10 – 40 people, it’s an ideal place for corporate gatherings, celebrations, and parties. If you’re planning something on a larger scale, you can also rent out the entire brewery for a seated dinner with up to 70 people, or a cocktail event with up to 100!
Beer & Other Sips
The methodology around brewing these tasty beers is simple: create easy-drinking, refreshing beers that taste best on a patio under the warm Okanagan sunshine. Lakeside produces a mix of seasonal beers and year round favourites. Seasonal flavours like the popular Sunburn Amber Ale are becoming a staple on many beer connoisseurs’ lists. The year round beers consist primarily of crispy lagers, pale ales, and distinct IPAs that are often raved about. Enjoy a Flight, a Pint, and be sure to grab a pack for the road. Remember, this beer tastes best when you are truly Lakeside.
Have you ever been part of a Beer Club? No? Well, now is your chance. For $50/month, you get access to 10 Pints of Lakesider Beer, a 10% discount on Apparel, a 10% discount on Pizza, and Priority Access to the many events & concerts that take place here. I think it goes without saying, but it’s a steal of a deal.
If beer isn’t your thing, not a problem. Lakeside also offers a variety of cocktails and wine from the surrounding estates. Non alcoholic beverages such as Motherlove Kombucha are also available, so no one goes thirsty.
Food Menu
Now that you’ve got your delicious beer in hand, the only thing left is to order some grub. Appetizers to share, tacos, chili, and thin crust pizza are just a few of the many dishes you can choose from. This menu was designed to be paired with beer. What’s better than a Honey Chicken Pizza and hoppy IPA on a patio? The answer simply does not exist.
