Backroads Brewing Company is the kind of place that makes you wonder whether beerâmaking should be an Olympic sport. With two outposts in British Columbiaâone on historic Baker Street in Nelson and the other a stoneâs throw from the countryâs warmest lake in Osoyoosâthe firm offers a split personality that somehow works. The Nelson taproom is a snug, rustic haven plastered with local art, while the Osoyoos spot leans back into sunshineâsoaked leisure, both proudly eschewing televisions in the main drinking area (a rarity in todayâs flickâfilled world).
Everything here is brewed in small batches, which means the shelves are in a perpetual state of delightful change. Brewmaster Mike treats each kettle like a laboratory, melding timeâhonoured techniques with a dash of daring to churn out awardâwinning ales and lagers that cater to every palate. Friendly staff are ever ready with a spotâon recommendation, and the large sidewalk patio provides the perfect stage for tasting flights under open sky. In short, Backroads delivers craft beer without the pretension, just pure, meticulouslyâcrafted flavour.
Backroads Brewing Company is praised for its excellent beers, friendly staff, and cozy atmosphere. Customers appreciate the relaxed ambiance, both inside and out, making it an ideal spot for casual gatherings with friends or solo visits.
