Are you open?

Yes! We opened on March 27, 2026.

why all the delays?

The initial delay was zoning. Our spot in Mackenzie Village was not zoned for a brewery, so we had to get that changed. How hard could that be? lol - so hard. We had hoped to slide the zoning change in as part of the provincially mandated citywide zoning update, but that didn’t happen because of… reasons. Our zoning amendment had to wait until after the citywide zoning update that was originally scheduled to be done in January 2025, but the update got pushed to late April, so the amendment approval got pushed to May 2025. At the May meeting, CoR council decided that a public consultation was needed, which pushed things into June. Feedback from the public consultation was overwhelmingly positive, and Council approved the zoning change on June 24. Zoning is life*.

We received our building permit on oct. 7, and went full-tilt after. A couple of major snags came up that were out of our control. hvac was the biggest one, followed closely by our hookup to bc hydro. it’s worth mentioning that the contractor we hired to do our internal electrical work [Revelstoke Electric] was fantastic. the hvac install was supposed to be finished by the end of October, but we apparently WEren’t a priority for the contractor.

February and March 2026 was all about paperwork. Inspections, licenses, more inspections, etc. It just sapped our will to live after a while. That said, it’s all done now and we don’t have PTSd. huzzah!

*which begs the question, why didn’t we choose a location with the correct zoning already in place? Well, Revelstoke has a commercial vacancy rate of less than 1%, and over the last 18 months we have seen exactly 1 rental property that might have worked for our needs, and it was actually a bit on the big side for what we were comfortable with.

WHat’s Happening Now?

Pouring pints, yo.

what kind of beer do you have?

THe tap list is here: Beer and Other Beverages

Things will evolve as we get to know our guests’ preferences. We’re confident you’ll find something you like.

Is there food?

yes, we have a selection of food available. However, we’re not big enough to have a full kitchen set up, so we’re offering dogs, pretzels, etc. Please feel free to bring your own food in!

is outside food allowed?

yes! You can bring in pretty much whatever you want. sandwiches from little spoon, having a pizza delivered to the taproom, a bag of chips from summit market are all fair game. If you want to cook something at home and bring it to the taproom for dinner, please do! Note that we don’t have a microwave or plates or utensils.

are outside drinks allowed?

nope. We’ll have alcoholic, non-alcoholic, and gluten-free beverages for sale. Filtered water is free!

Kids in the Brewery?

Apparently, yes! Minors must be accompanied by an adult or guardian. Kids can’t drink alcohol on the premises.

Dogs on the patio?

Conditional yes - we’re going to try and make it happen, but it depends on what our liquor license allows.
