Encore Brewing Company in Cranbrook, British Columbia turns a derelict 1960s bowling alley into a bustling shrine to good ale and retro fun. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the clatter of pins, the glow of arcade cabinets and the scent of dough rising in the kitchen. Their flagship brew, Highway 66 IPA, is a crisp, hop‑forward potion that manages to be both bold and surprisingly balanced—ideal for sipping while you line up a strike on the state‑of‑the‑art lanes.
The venue’s charm lies in its inventive use of the old bowling hall: tables fashioned from former lanes double as conversation pieces, and the décor whispers of a bygone era without ever feeling stale. Besides the beers (which include several inventive seasonal releases), the menu boasts house‑made hot sauces that add a mischievous kick to the phenomenal pizzas that arrive hot and ready for devouring. Live tunes drift through the space, keeping the atmosphere lively without ever drowning out a good chat. Everything runs smoothly, a testament to the crew’s professionalism and genuine love for craftsmanship (they clearly understand that quality and a dash of cheekiness make for a memorable outing).
Encore Brewing Company offers an entertainment-filled experience with excellent food and drinks, including phenomenal pizza options. A lively atmosphere, arcade games, and bowling make it an ideal spot for groups and families, providing a fun and memorable occasion.
