Summer is outdoor season
May through September, the patio is dog-friendly and full. The taproom becomes a destination for people heading toward Kalamalka Lake on the shore road. We’ve got food trucks rotating through on weekends, and Friday nights bring live bluegrass that spills onto the patio. The beer lineup stays lighter: hazy pales, crisp pilsners, fruit-forward sours. Bring your dog, bring your friends, plan to stay longer than you think. The patio isn’t just an add-on; it’s the whole experience. Book ahead for private events if you’re thinking about hosting something outdoors.
Fall is transition time
September and October are perfect. The tourist traffic drops, the weather is still decent, but the frantic pace eases. We’re tapping seasonals that sit between summer brightness and winter richness. The trivia nights start drawing regulars who’ve been away all summer. The food trucks are still rolling, but the crowd is more local. This is the best time to actually get to know the taproom and the people who work here.
Winter is about the inside
November through February, the patio closes but the taproom becomes warmer. We rotate darker, heavier seasonals—stouts with depth, lagers with richness. The Friday bluegrass becomes something you can actually hear inside. Trivia Tuesday grows into a tradition for people looking for a reason to get out on cold nights. Private events move indoors, and the space becomes more intimate. The crowd is smaller but more committed. This is when you discover your favourite corner of the bar.
Spring is anticipation
March and April are quiet months, but they’re the prelude. The patio is cleaned up and ready. New seasonals are in development. By mid-May, summer kicks in again and the cycle repeats. If you’re thinking about the taproom year-round, spring is when to lock in your event bookings for summer.
The rhythm of the seasons changes what the taproom is and how you experience it. Come in whatever season feels right, and let the place show you what it becomes.
