This place is a beer and pizza parlour with the most mountain Canadian feel you'll ever have. Snow gear, lumberjacks, and hippies, friendly folk who just want to enjoy local brew in their flannel. Playing Canadian games, chilling over a pint, and the PIZZA IS AMAZING! Thin crust homemade pizza... 20$ gets you a pint (mason jar) and 2 big slices. Highly recommend! read more

Lovely new brewery in the heart of Nelson. A variety of well crafted beers with the high points being their Pale Ale, IPA and Bohemian Lager. The Saison was a pleasant surprise as well. Incredibly helpful and friendly staff and a crisp, warm and welcoming atmosphere with nice decor. Check out their great selection of growlers, especially the ceramic ones. Unique and beautiful. read more

First and Foremost: Great beer! Every brew I've tried is dead-solid good, distinctive, refreshing, smooth, and tasty. Next: great vibe in the heart of Nelson. If you like good beer, make sure you stop by this place during your trip through the Kootenays. And finally, good people, great swag for purchase, or bring a growler and fill 'er up. read more

This is a really cool spot. They offer flights so you can try the 8 different beers that they offer if you order 2. I really enjoyed their beers. They have some snacks, like a pretzel and stuff. There is a fair amount of seating but it was busy when we went on a Tuesday night and we actually had to wait for a table to open up. We brought our own cards against humanity and had a blast playing. The bartender even got in on it! Highly recommend this place! read more

Cozy brew pub. Decent selection of beer, and a couple of options if you are not a beer drinker too. I see others mentioning pizza -- but I think you order from a local pizza place and they deliver it. Friendly staff :) read more

This is a convivial tasting room. The saison was quite good. The IPA was serviceable, although a bit lacking in flavor.

Beer selection was weak, no ambers and no darks without coffee flavoring. The 4 beers I tasted were sub par. Very weak mixed drink menu and hard alcohol selection. For a brewery, I would expect the beer to be the best part of the establishment, not the music.

Pretzel with beer cheese dipping sauce: the pretzel tasted like it was freshly out of the oven - crispy on the outside while soft on the inside. I thought the sauce was a little bit on the saltier side. I would've preferred it to be a bit sweeter just because the pretzel was already salty. Great appetizer nonetheless. 2. Beef dip: I will let the picture speak for itself as I am having a hard time stopping myself from drooling... All jokes aside, I thought the au jus had amazing flavours and really helped to bring the sandwich together. 100% would order again.

We had one family giving us great advice as to kid-friendly drinks on the menu, which sounded more like desserts. Both my kids just wanted plain diet soda. I kind of wished one of them had been the mood for the home-made root beer or cream soda with whipped cream. Sounded amazing. Of course, we were there for the flight. This place included all eight of their beers in the flight! And it was really well-priced. We really didn't want to drink that much but decided to splurge. I do like trying different beers, and it was a lot of fun to try eight from one place. Most of the beers weren't outstanding or too memorable, but they were all well-crafted. We really liked the stout. Definitely well worth more than one visit, but we were only in town overnight.
