Cold Lake Brewing & Distilling Co., founded in 2016, proudly claims the title of Lakeland’s first local small‑batch distillery and brewery. Harnessing the crystal‑clear water of Cold Lake and a host of regional ingredients, the operation produces handcrafted spirits and beers that showcase the area’s natural bounty.

The Cold Lake, Alberta site features a spacious tap room, a full‑service restaurant and two lakeside patios that overlook the marina. A newer building to the north adds a rooftop patio, an indoor‑outdoor area, a ground‑level deck and a small grassy patch for children. Walls are dotted with work by local artists, reinforcing the venue’s community spirit. The beer program offers a wide variety on tap, with seasonal rotations and hand‑branded gin bottles; customers can even order custom‑labelled beverages such as Honey Lime Lager and Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade for events, a service that has even been delivered to Calgary.

Food ranges from a “sooo good” Nashville Chicken sandwich with potato salad to pretzels that reviewers praise as repeat‑worthy, accompanied by French fries that never disappoint. The atmosphere balances family‑friendly comfort with a sophisticated palate experience, making the brewery a lively hub where locals and visitors alike can enjoy quality craftsmanship and a warm, community‑focused vibe.
