Share this brewery with your friends!
Ursa Minor Brewing, perched on the edge of Ootsa Lake in British Columbia, is the sort of place where you can actually hear the birds before the beer hits you. This farmhouse brewery doesn’t just make beer; it harvests the wild, turning local botanicals and a healthy dose of imagination into “wildcrafted” pours that feel like a trek through the woods in a glass. Their lineup swings between Between the Eyes Lager, a crisp, unpretentious amber, and the cheekily named Ootsa Pogo Dipa, a seasonal oddity that proves a brewery can have a sense of humor and still nail the balance sheet.
Beyond the taps, the property offers a proper farmstay: a cosy cabin, a tidy campsite, and even a boat for a lazy glide across the lake (cell service is deliberately scarce, so you won’t be tempted to check your inbox). Friendly farm animals roam, local events pop up like surprise fireworks, and the food—whether you’re at the onsite kitchen or cooking in a cabin—gets praised by everyone who’s tasted it. The staff and owners (who clearly share a love of craftsmanship) treat each visitor like royalty, and the immaculate amenities make the whole experience feel less like a getaway and more like a masterclass in hospitality.
Ursa Minor Brewing is a hidden gem located off the beaten path, offering an exceptional experience with top-notch beer and hospitality. The campground and rentals are immaculate, while the staff's genuine warmth makes visitors feel like friends.
