Open Noon 'til Night Everyday
Courageously Crowdfunded 2016
Fires have long left their legacy in the arid South Okanagan, claiming many historic buildings such as the “Big Teepee” Hotel in the old Fairview mining town. When the mines ran out of gold, the residents moved down to the young village of Oliver, where a newly built irrigation ditch brought different riches to the parched landscape: agriculture. The town of Oliver still stands, but the fire station siren is often heard screaming across town in the desert air.
In recent times, the volunteer firefighters built a modern fire station, leaving the original “Old Firehall” downtown in the heart of Canada’s Wine Capital. It is now the home of our brewery, where we pump out thirst-extinguishing ales with courageous flavour and alarming drinkability. Our passion for real craft beer is only rivalled by our love for music and the great outdoors.
Welcome to the Craft Beer Revolution!

I know Canada has got some pretty long roads to pay for... but... check it out. Tax gets paid on beer: A) when we buy the ingredients, in federal sales tax, B) when we package it, as federal "excise", C) when we sell it, as liquor board "mark-up", and D) when you buy it, as federal and provincial sales tax. Again, taxes buy roads and heart monitors, things we like, but maybe it should be spread out a bit and not dropped so heavily on alcohol producers. Maybe? http://axethebeertax.ca/

After one year and five days, we're emptying our Beer Shop's Table Barrels! You may have leaned on these while tipping back a sip of past Table Beer Series Releases.
