Featuring beer, cider, tasty food and live entertainment, the festival has something for everyone 19+. With the positive response from our indoor/outdoor festival last year, we will be looking to use the beautiful outdoor space beside the PTCC again, now dubbed the “Hopyard” said Michael Stocker, President of the Okanagan Fest of Ale Society.

KEEPING THE PLAYING FIELD LEVEL By Brian MacIsaac, KEEPING THE PLAYING FIELD LEVEL By Brian MacIsaac, Co-Founder, @CrannogAles BC's pioneering organic farm-based brewery produces some enduring favourite brews which craft beer fans around the province seek out on tap where they can get them. Sadly, as larger producers learn to compete with the upstart craft breweries like Crannog, it is getting harder to find these independent craft beers, and a lot more common to run into "crafty" alternatives...sometimes offered to pubs and restaurants with terms publicans can't refuse. As Brian tells it, already-struggling independent brewers can go under if they have to give away one in three kegs to keep an account. Learn why he helped form something called the Ethical Brewers’ Guild, and why he thinks BC's craft breweries need to come together to reduce predatory behaviour.
