At Cannery Brewing, we make beer with heart. It’s beer made by people who care, not just about beer, but about the people who drink it, about the people in our neighbourhood, and our community. We've been making beer since 2001 in beautiful Penticton, BC. We make beer with flavour, whether it be a German-style lager, a tart fruit sour, a hoppy IPA, or a rich stout. Our family-friendly taproom and patio features great beer, locally inspired snacks, local wine and cider. We are, in a word, community. We’re all looking for it, and now you know where it is. We do not take reservations. Please note that dogs are allowed only in our Cannery Backyard, which is open seasonally May-September. Check our website for hours for the Backyard.
Great drinks, and I love that there is a dark beer option for us that like to drink real beer (joking aside, the other beers are amazing as well). Each time I go to The Cannery, it feels like going over to a friend's place, highly recommend to everyone!
Food here is great and atmosphere! Less of a beer drinker these days but I've found some of the other breweries don't offer top notch food. Cannery does and has some non-alcoholic drink options too.
Some of the best food I’ve ever had! Delicious, the charcuterie board was to die for, and the pretzel bites were even better really made our trip. The beer was good too!
Decent beers. Actually, the best west coast IPA I've ever had. Service wasn't great as I wasn't told how to order anything. But once I complained and was told how things worked, all was good. I'll go back at some point (I'm from out of town).
This is a great little brewery. Just keep in mind that you have two different menus. One for inside the brewery, one for the patio. On the patio all the food is ordered from the food truck. The patio is really nice. It is dog friendly and kid friendly. They do have a few games and toys that kids get play with.
great brewery. lots of beers and other things like cocktails and cider to cater to everyone’s needs. food is amazing, not too greasy, would be a great place to meet up for a great tasting beer and a bite to eat. Would definitely recommend to beer drinkers, service was great. people working there were kind and funny.
Tasty beer, tasty food trucks, nice indoor space, great outdoor space, fantastic staff and service. What more could you ask for?! Oh, the inside snacks! They're great, too!
Love this place <3 The staff here are all just delightful, the service, the brews and food all top notch. I come here a couple times a week. Awesome atmosphere and great vibes, good tunes. My favorite brews are the skaha hazy pale ale, trellis ipa and muse pale ale. Have tried the pork belly bao buns, they are amazing and light so you have room for an extra brew! Have also tried the Santa Fe Veggie Nachos - they are a real treat and arent heavy like regular nachos. I cant forget - the sausage roll they make is awesome, it just melts in your mouth its so good. Took home a jar of the stonefruit bbq sauce they make - was such a nice change from the grocery store sauce! Would recommend! Pro tip: Join the growler club - worth it!
Just bought a six pack of the Naramata Brown Ale! Its smooth and delicious, but my favorite part is that the lip of the cans were filed down to a razor sharp edge to force you to enjoy it in a glass. Next level thinking! But seriously, guys, the can edges are really sharp.
The. Best. Grilled. Cheese. Ever!!! Oh and the Muse pale ale. whoa fell in love and took some home! Such a great discovery on our way through
Always great. Excellent family friendly place
Solid beers, good food, backyard is dog friendly and even a small playhouse for the kids. Always a good time here when visiting from out of town.
We love this place! Great stop for a fine brew! Dog friendly! Misters on the patio. Fresh water bowl for the pup. Did I mention the beer is really good! Enjoy!
Visited Penticton and drank at the Cannery Brewery which had great beers. The hot food was provided by an amazing chef called Jack ManMan and it was to die for. My kids are now asking us to have Yakisoba noodles back home! Highly recommended!
Tristen poured our beer selections today. Conveniently located right close to downtown Penticton, this is a pretty funky place to come grab yourself a craft brew, and some snacks. In fact, tonight they re going to have live music so be sure to check their website for upcoming events. They ve been in this location since 2001, if you were a beer lover and are in the Penticton area, don t forget to try out cannery brewing.
Some really tasty beers. Could use a happy hour though.
We loved the outdoor area. The beers were great especially the newer Plum and Basil Blonde Ale and the Smoked Helles Lager. We really loved Jack Manmans food cart as well, the yakisoba was yummy!
Perfect little craft brewery with all the small charm richness you are looking for. Great selection of beers as well.
Loved this place! Beer was awesome for summer drinking and food was amazing. Make sure to try the pretzel bombs.
Their pretzel bombs with garlic sauce on the side are unique and to die for. Goes great with anything youre drinking.
The best staff ever! Awesome beer too!
Where do I even start.... You take a seat at the table, need to order at the bar and have to deposit a credit card. For every order you go up to the counter. Not like a restaurant and definitely not customer friendly the way they operate. You wouldnt go there with a group and each time go to the bar counter for another round. And as a German I didnt like the beer to be honest.
Good beers, great vibe! Super friendly staff!
Wow. Amazing staff. Fabulous food. Yummy, great beer. Definitely a go to place now
Great food, great beer, great staff, nice menu, the backyard is fun. Its always nice, very nice atmosphere
We had a Christmas party in the back room at the cannery. Kurtis and Max went above and beyond and made our event seamless and so much fun. This is our new favorite spot for events.
Absolutely amazing! Best nachos I have ever had and you can go wrong with the lake House lager.
Best place in Penticton hands down, local in its purest form. Food, drink and staff are all superb a must visit when in the area.
Taproom took a dessert order from me in Ontario to my gf and her best friend for a birthday surprise. Amazing service and great beer from the sounds of it too!
Great atmosphere
One of, if not the, best run businesses in town. A true gem
Great place to gather. Great beer, good food. Reasonable prices.
My bartender Kurtis was a boss. Totally legit all night. Did a killer job all night, I was barely out of beer, and he knew exactly what me and my buddy needed! Fantastic bartender, or beer tender! I highly recommend him, and the servers! But Kurtis was freaking awesome!
Great beer selection and friendly staff. We didn t get to check out the Backyard but enjoyed our time at the brewery. 5/13/2023: We finally made it to the Backyard - Fun atmosphere. We had a beer slushie which was very refreshing and fun wit the drink umbrella.
Great beer! I had the Italian pilsner and berry sour and both were really good. The food was good, not great. Small portion size for chicken sandwich (but quite good) and chips in the chips and salsa were more like pita chips. The nacho chips appeared to be tortilla chips based on what I saw from neighbouring tables. Also, everyone else was getting free popcorn when they were seated. I asked about it and they brought some but they disappeared by the time I returned to my table...maybe the wind, maybe table clearing. I asked the guy about it and he said must have been the wind. He didnt offer to bring me another bag... didnt bother asking again.
Such an awesome taproom. Both beer and service are really good. The food is up to par as well.
Love it here. Moved away 3 yrs ago. First night back in town and I ended up here.
Like Shay, we ordered the cheese meat and nut tray upon recommendation of the server. My wife had made clear to the server what we wanted. Disappointing is puting it mildly. Overpriced and very little product. We have ordered similar platters elsewhere for same price and received enough for two. I recognize it has local specialities but still one must provide reasonable amounts! Overall my comment would be over priced tourist trap. Decor and ambiance were very nice. Probably will not return.
Lots of beer choices, awesome place to visit in Penticton!
Large craft brewery. Street paid parking surrounds it. Indoor and outdoor seating. Attentive staff. Beer in different sizes including smaller glasses which is appreciated by those of us who dont drink a lot. A bit noisy gives design but better than many. Had the nut brown ale which I enjoyed. Wide range of products. Didnt try the food but would definitely come back.
Penticton has a fair amount of breweries, as we discovered on our last trip.. But this place was my favourite, the staff were excellent, the beers delicious and just a great vibe all around
Cannery Backyard is the greatest place in Penticton. Super chill, dog friendly, all the taps of the regular taproom. Amazing food trucks. Great staff. Easily the best brewery in the Okanagan.
Meat and cheese board, still as delicious as it was 5 years ago.
Great nachos!
Cannery kurtis (patio daddio) is always so welcoming and fun every single time we re there!
Amazing staff and atmosphere. Great food and even better beers, can t beat the backyard fun and Tommy s burger shack. Super family friendly place. Kurtis, Max, and the whole taproom and kitchen staff do a wonderful job!
My fav watering hole, love The Backyard
Cannery is awsome, the lager is the best and so are the nachos! They are the best in the area. Kurtis and the brew staff are super friendly and just nice people
The Cannery is my favorite spot to spend time with friends and family. Not only is the beer and food delicious, the staff are friendly and inviting. Kurtis Klinger, an assistant taproom manager, has an arsenal of dad jokes that will always put you in a good mood and is very helpful to his colleagues and customers of the brewery!
Excellent array of beverages offered at a very fair price. Great service, food, and decor/atmosphere. It was really hot today and we were here with our dog. Thankful for the dog friendly area on the north side of the restaurant/brewery. Great hotdog with peanut butter and pickles as an appetizer. Many more hot dog options that looked good as well.
Always delicious food and drinks and friendly staff. The Cannery is my favourite brewery!
Best brewery in Penticton.
Dog friendly for sure Great beer and the staff were cool Our best new staple
Great beers and food! The pretzel bombs are super tasty. They have a nice covered patio with misters so you can sit outside on a hot day without overheating.
Probably the best brewery in Penticton. In the summer the Backyard is open and the brewery hosts a variety of amazing food trucks and food specials
I saw someone say this brewery has the bast nachos on earth, they were NOT lying!!
Great local brewery. Very consistent in their brewing! Delicious nachos!
Love this place! The best environment, and beer selection. Happy to support them as a member of their growler club
Just the most pathetic looking charcuterie board Ive ever seen. $30 for a miniscule amount of meat and cheese that would leave even the most anorexic mouse still hungry. Beers are good.
Très bon choix de bières elle sont incroyables les highlights sont la trellis IPA et la Okanagan Daze-. En ce qui concerne la nourriture, elle est excellente. Nous avons prit les nachos après avoir lu les avis et, sans aucun doute, ils sont les meilleurs que nous avons mangé! Nous avons même prit une deuxième assiète. Nous vous recommandons ce bar si vous passez par Penticton :)
It was amazing. Before coming I ve only heard about this place. So naturally while visiting Penticton I had to stop in. And with all the hype I was not disappointed. I highly recommend cannery brewing. Excellent food. Excellent beer.
What a great fun place! We enjoyed delicious food and drinks. The steamed buns were the best. The staff were very friendly esp. Max who welcomed us in and made sure we had an amazing time. We brought home some of their new Zombie Beer which is delicious. Recommend a visit.
Very chill and welcoming
Simply great beer!
Amazing place. We were very glad we were able to visit again. Great beer, great food and great service.
Always a pleasure coming here.... staff are so knowledgeable and friendly.... beer is great..... Love the lager !! Thank you for a great pub experience !!
The brewery of all breweries. Shoutout to Kurtis for always making us feel right at home. Love the shafts, pretzel bombs and nachos!! 5/5
No trip to Penticton is complete without a stop at the Cannery (or hopefully many stops). The food is delicious, the drinks are amazing, and the service (shout out to Kurtis and Max!) is always beyond outstanding.
We recently spent a few weeks working remotely in Pentiction and found ourselves at The Cannery most nights! A great local spot with delicious food, live music and awesome staff. We loved Kurtis and the team- they made us always look forward to heading to the Cannery for post-work drinks with friends :) Highly recommend if you re in the area!!
A great spot to spend a few hours or a whole day with friends and family. The staff are super accommodating and friendly. Anyone visiting Penticton should definitely check it out!
The cannery is my favourite place to go in town! It has such a fun, welcoming vibe. The staff make the experience so much better! Kurtis, Matt, Max, Ranette, Jeff, and everyone else take the time to get to know you and truly care! I would recommend this place to anyone :)
Been our go to place for years! Great food - even better beer. And Kurtis and Max always makes us feel so welcome!!
Great food, drinks, vibe, and staff!
Cannery is my go to place in Penticton! The staff are always warm and helpful, special shout out to Kurtis. He goes above and beyond to be helpful!
The Cannery backyard is wonderful, dog friendly, many beverages on tap, rotating food trucks as well as their own menu!
Best beers in town and great customer service. Kurtis and Max treat us like family. Can t recommend Cannery enough.
I m not one to normally share reviews. But the service was above and beyond what I think a restaurant should offer. A small mistake was made and the server and manager owned up to it how there ticket system printed a blank and they were trying to find the missing one (tops 15 mins)not even a long delay on a busy night But they way the server handled the situation making sure we both were happy and enjoying ourselves with our night out.We have been going here every time we visit from Vancouver and every time it s always amazing food beer and environment. But for them to make sure we still had an amazing time with out us even mentioning to anyone our food was taking a long time, that goes to show the amazing service they pride themselves on! Will always be a continuous customer
Consistently surprised by the creativity of the space and offerings. Good atmosphere, staff and everything is tasty.
Passports scanned properly at door, all Covid rules adhered to and mask rules followed. I have seen staff chase down people who dont wait to be scanned and check them. Two indoor serving areas, with weekly entertainment and their outdoor Backyard (seasonal) where various Food Trucks attend. All in all a very good Show. PS .... The various Beers, ales, stouts, and specials are excellent. Put this place on your Bucket List.
The system is order at the bar
Its a nice brewery. The pretzel Bombs are excellent. Friendly Staff and a good table service system. They have floating staff proactively clearing tables and its always busy. The food is prompt, and it works well with the balance of order at the counter . The owner scans the floor and says hello to regulars and cares about people visiting. Bravo!
Probably the best brewery in Penticton, well, they have some competition now!
Havent been, would love to go some time though. Discovered their Maple Stout at the BCL... wow. Hands down, best stout Ive ever had. I like sweet and rich and creamy though, so if thats not your thing, you might not appreciate this beer as much as I do. However, I would still suggest trying it!
Best live music and venue I have been to in Penticton. The beer is also fantastic! Will be back every Sunday for the forseeable future
Absolutley amazing food and staff. !!
Good beer, friendly staff, limited food options and self order at the bar but food gets deliverer to the table.
Beer good!
Very good beer with a fantastic selection. The people there are so nice too! Ill be back.
Great place for a lunch on the patio. Dog friendly. Burger was great. Local beers were yummy delicious.
enjoy their blueberry porter whenever I come to Penticton I make sure to come by @ least once
Awesome atmosphere. Really great back patio seating with rotating food trucks. Beers are really good as well.
Cannery has done some renovations on their original location. Great vibe, great beer as always, and amazing food menu. We took the family and everyone had a great time.
The Cannery is an institution Penticton is fortunate to have, even pre-craft beer boom. Max and the tasting room staff are great, pretzel bombs and chicken nachos are unreal and Sunday music is always a treat. Thanks Cannery for all the years of consistent quality brews.
Love going to the Cannery. The lager is amazing and the chicken nachos even better! Super nice staff and great ambience.
Great spot
Great beer and staff. Loved the pretzel bombs (came back a 2nd time for them). Nice patio. Highly recommended.
Amazing beer as always!
Love the addition of the new backyard. In the world of craft breweries in penticton, the cannery is top tier. Great food, good vibes and most importantly great beer.
Amazing selection of beers and alternative beverages. Great staff. Love the Backyard
Fantastic beer and incredibly friendly service. Selection is a little limited but what they offer, they make well. Awesome patio to spend a nice afternoon lounging around to drink beer
Pretty place but the 30$ cheese and meat platter for 2 was basically a tiny sandwich for a child. It was literally less than 25 grams of each deli meat and tiny cheese samples. The spoon was a pinkie sized miniature plastic ones for perspective. Id skip that this dish if you are there to actually eat. May try other things in the future but this is a very expensive 200 gram sandwich. Perhaps rename it as small local selection for one.
Our server was really nice. Vegan Nachos great!!! Would recommend
What a place! The beer is amazing and the staff are super friendly. The backyard is a slice of paradise with little misters to cool you off. I can go on and on... Oh ya the Slushie Sunblink Berry Sour was phenomenal Indescribable the refreshment value is unmatched.
Hands down one of my favorite places for beer and appies. Try the nachos it is a must.
What an awesome place to visit, probably the best brew pub we have been to. Service at the bar, friendly staff.. Great selection of amber ale and sours. Food was amazing.. totally recommend!!! Great visit, great experience, great staff.
Great service! But $11.00 for a flight. Across the street Hwy 97. $7.00 for a flight.
Always bombpretzel bombs
Amazing place with amazing beer. The food is delicious and well portioned. Every single one of the beers is outstanding. The sunblink berry sour is probably the best beer I have ever had and is a big reason for me to travel to Penticton. Highly recommend to everyone looking for a friendly, well run, local place to stop in.
Good beer, they havent had anything ground breaking in a while but their core beer is reliable. The Backyard is awesome, the rotating food trucks and environment is chill. Really my stars are indicative of the food trucks and The Backyard more than anything, but the Cannery has been a staple here for years and if your from out of town a great stop for sure.
They have great beer! I love the curry popcorn to start with. They have a great berry beer! I love selection of food and beer on tap! There is also a great dry cider! Great place to make a stop at!!
Great beers, chill place to hang out and everyone was super friendly. Lots of selection and a nice patio.
Delicious beer. However, the acoustics in this place are not great. Way too loud. I struggled with hearing the other people at my table.
A seriously good BC brewery! If you enjoy craft beer definitely check out the Cannery! all the beers were great and the brewers know what they are doing! Every server was great especially Max who remembered us over the weekend! Would go back again if we were ever in the area.
Best beer in Penticton!
Awesome!
Great beer with a variety of interesting flavours and well executed classics, plus awesome food. Order the nachos!
Always a pleasure. Great vibe, friendly service and a tasty variety of brews.
Great brewery! Love the Naramata Nut Brown.
My wife & I are fans of the Vegetarian Nachos and the Trellis IPA. The staff are friendly and the owners are good community supporters.
Cannery makes amazing beer. I have yet to try one i dont like. Tonight i also had chicken pot pie with a beet type sald. Very impressed. You cant go wrong here
Love thier pink beer.
Best nachos and best Vibes in town!!!!!
My favourite brewery in Penticton. It can get a little busy, but like most places that are, very worth the wait.
Unfortunately only got to try one beer as the vibe was awful, the ladies today were quite unwelcoming. Especially the older lady who was quite rude to me. Its okay though, there are many other options around. Not returning.
Best beer in town!
I love the beer at cannery! Food here is perfect to pair with beer. Pretzel bombs are killer. I will be a long time loyal customer. I didnt like paying $18.50 for a 4 pack of pilsner. Even though it was fantastic beer I just felt a bit jabbed. No biggie I still love this place.
Awesome Drink Menu and great staff
Always fantastic!
Awesome. Great beer , people and spot.
Very cool space (with a good patio!) and a great selection of beers. Most of their beers are good but their lagers and pilsners really shine and are excellent in the warm weather.
Awsome experience. Spoke with a chef of 50 years with my Bros Robert. Such a nice place meng. Cant wait to go back
Amazing food, super cool staff, and just the best vibe! Thank you Cannery for being awesome!
Friendly, our first grapefruit radlers, this year, awesome
Had a wonderful time here with some beer flights and complimentary popcorn :) Highly recommend the Pilsner as well as the Berry Sour. Loved that it was all women running the show the night we were there too! Cheers
Backyard is fun. Rotating food trucks are awesome
Ive been to almost all the breweries in Penticton and this one has by far the best beer.
An awesome experience all around. The beer is some of the best you can get in Penticton, and the food menu is far above what you would expect from a brewery. The staff are attentive and happy to give you recommendations on the beers. To me, Cannery Brewing is a must stop if you are in the area.
Impressive food menu and great beer as always!
Very nice ac inside, cool patio and the beer is great! Would recommend the nachos!
Great beers! Radlers with real grapefruit juice, cant complain about that! Also there were some great job-alcoholic options for my other friends. Oh, and I quite enjoyed the beers as well
Great selection of beers available by the flight. Great sharing plates of food. We had the meat and cheese plate which is great for 2 people to share with something else. The veggie nachos were also delish.
Awesome place with great atmosphere! As soon as we were sat, we were greeted and given some of their house made popcorn. Awesome little salty snack to start with. My partner and I shared a flight and some pretzel bombs! The pretzels were super flavorful and delicious! The beer was brewed to perfection, I enjoyed it a lot. Tbh out of the four local BC ale trail breweries, this one has the best tasting beers! Will definitely come back to try the other taps and more food.
Pat and team are terrific. Try the nachos!!
Fun, buzzing Patio with friendly and helpful staff. Really enjoyed sitting in the shade and loved the citra IPA they suggested. I didn t get them but the nachos looked UNBELIEVABLE! They were also selling oysters and popsicles so there was something for everyone :) .
We were really blown away by this place. The beer is a separate conversation and I ll leave those compliments to others. But the food really deserves a significant nod. We hadn t planned on eating here, but the food looked decent so we stayed. It was an unexpected foodie heaven. We had the farm fresh greens, cheese steak sandwiches, nachos and sliders sliders. Firstly, their serving the cheese steaks with a pickled fennel side. The farm fresh salad came with halloumi, stone fruit and sopresetto. The jalapeño sauce on the nachos will spoil you for all future nachos. My husband actually said he preferred his meal here to the Naramata Inn - which is a huge compliment. Serious nod to the kitchen and worth the visit.
Good beer selection, they also sell Poplar Grove cheeses. Backyard space is amazing.
This place has some of the most satisfying beer and food in Penticton. The seasonal beer selection is something you must explore. Do a flight or get a sleeve, you wont be disappointed. The pork belly sliders are delicious. Im looking forward to them adding pork belly nachos to the menu. PBN all day long!
When my Ottawa cousin asked where we should meet in Penticton I wanted to give she and her hubby a taste of what we have to offer. Cannery Brewing was a no-brainer. We can always depend on Pat and her crew to provide an exceptional customer experience. The craft beer are varied and delicious. There is a revolving selection supporting local wineries and cideries. And the chicken nachos are to die for. Love Cannery Brewing
Nice atmosphere. Plesent staff. Good beer.
Had a chance to check out the backyard at Cannery Brewing and was not disappointed. Great beer, food and staff make this a must visit for anyone new to town or visiting. They also facilitate musical acts on sunday nights! This place is never a bad idea!!
Amazing as always!
Sat outside, nice to sit under the umbrella. Great, friendly staff. Had about 12 beers on tap to choose from, 2 or 3 wines and 1 cider. Would return and recommend.
Beautifully crafted beers in an English pub style environment.
Only there for beer flight, but nachos looked delicious, friendly. Laid back atmosphere
Great food, great beer and great service. What more can I say. We loved everything. Cheesesteak, natchos and blackberry porter.
Great beers and the Hummus is delicious
Always a good tasting beer and wonderful.staff and a true family place.
Very nice place to chill out after walking in the downtown. Nice spot friendly staffs and awesome IPA
Best nut brown ale around, dare l say it, better than Newcastle Brown ale!!!!
Whenever in Penticton we make sure to drop by for our obligatory beer + chicken nachos. The service is always friendly, food is great, place is clean, and beer the best in Penticton. And theyre interested in adhering to public health orders & being part of the Covid19 solution instead of problem!
Great staff and a wonderful selection of beers and ciders
Stopped in here on our trip through Penticton. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere, delicious beers (we had 2 flights so we could try 8 of their beers) and also ordered the vegetarian nachos which were so yummy!
Great vibe, friendly staff, great beer options and good food. We, and what looked like every other table who sat down, ordered the nachos. They were recommended to us by the people we were staying with too. My beer flight was a great mix and as I said all the staff was super friendly.
Great ambience, spacey and well lit. A good selection of beers, but for those wishing to drink a little milk, look elsewhere. They are vehemently anti liquid dairy products and are unlikely to look fondly on any milk fanatics who stumble into their premises.
A nice place, good beers, friendly staff. I enjoyed myself here, light atmosphere brought a couple friendly conversations. I am not from here so want to hear where I should go. Jovial banter between servers and myself, bar service though I was checked on by staff multiple times in a friendly and engaging way. Thank you, Table service would be great!
Stellar as always.
Excellent staff, great beer and tasty food! They use their space to its full potential in the summer and winter with the backyard and Ale catraz. It s a must see.
Love the free popcorn! Pentictons best brewpub!
Lovely spot. Good Service. Decent Beer, pretty hoppy if you dont like that beware but there are some other options too. Food was delicious.
Awesome beer, great environment. Weather youre there to buy to go or to sit in. Its awesome.
