Cheers to a Successful Craft and Country Mountain Festival
A huge thank you goes to the amazing breweries and craft vendors who brought their finest creations to share. With over 15 vendors offering a diverse range of beers, ciders, coolers, and non-alcoholic options, they truly elevated our guests' tasting experience.
To the 450 festival-goers who joined us, thank you for making this event vibrant and memorable. We hope you enjoyed sampling the best of British Columbia's brews and ciders, exploring the artisanal products, and making the most of the vibe in the village.
A special shout-out goes to Kitty & The Rooster for their electrifying performance. Your dynamic surf rock n' roll sounds had everyone on their feet, dancing and enjoying the mountain vibe.
As we wrap up this year's Craft and Country Mountain Festival, we are already planning next year's event, aiming to make it even more spectacular. Stay tuned for updates and announcements as we prepare to bring you another fantastic celebration of craft brews, music, and mountain fun.

With 100+ years combined experience, it’s safe to say our brewmasters know what they’re doing—and that they don’t mess around when it comes to ingredients. Only the best will do: premium two-row Canadian barley, quality hops, our own signature yeast strain, and 100% pure Okanagan spring water go into every beer we make.

Quite simply, Yellow Dog Brewing is a craft brewery who makes awesome beer! We opened our doors in 2014 and have been making some of the best craft beer in British Columbia ever since. Why do we do it? We love it! From the very start of the process of developing our delicious beer, to getting to know each customer who walks into our tasting room, we love every aspect of the world we’ve created! For the love of dogs, community and great beer!

In the heart of downtown Kelowna's cultural district, BNA Brewing Co. is an independent craft brewery with an onsite Tasting Room and attached full-service Eatery. We’re proud to be locally owned and operated, and to be able to share our beer with locals and tourists alike! Our in-house beer selection ranges from classic lagers to bold IPAs, and from fruity sours to deep, dark stouts. We’re excited to be back on the mountain serving up some suds!
![No Boats on Sunday](/sites/default/files/inline-images/nbos.jpg)
Refreshing crisp and crafted close to home, like the wayward youth who can’t quite leave the nest. Local is important to us, just like it is to you. We think knowing each sip of No Boats On Sunday is made with 100% Canadian apples is part of what makes it so delicious! That’s why we took the same great taste and made three different versions; so wherever you are, you know your cider is made with freshly-pressed juice from an apple farm close to home.

Established in 2017, the Truck 59 Ciderhouse quickly established itself as a local favourite in West Kelowna and Okanagan Wine Country at large. The quality of the cider and incredible lake views cemented Truck 59 as a go-to hangout spot almost immediately.

Kelowna's most dog friendly craft brewery! Unleashed Brewing was bred from a love of dogs, craft beer, and adventure. A dog inspired & entirely dog friendly brewery in the heart of Kelowna's Brewery District, creating untamed beer that challenges convention.
