Highway 97 Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Penticton BC)

Highway 97 Brewing sits in Penticton, British Columbia, and it does exactly what a good brewpub should—serve excellent booze and food without the pretentious chatter. There are two IPAs on tap, one of which is a taster‑size offering that lets you sample the hop‑laden brilliance before committing to the full pint. If indecision strikes, simply ask for the half‑and‑half tasting and watch two contrasting brews share the same glass in perfect harmony (the result is surprisingly delightful).

The menu is a pleasant surprise: carrot‑ginger soup proves that broth can be as exciting as a hop burst, while the ribs and chicken wings provide the hearty punch you’d expect after a day spent contemplating ale. An extensive roster of beers, ciders, and seltzers ensures that even the most fickle palate finds a favorite, and the staff are happy to point out the subtle differences between each brew. In short, Highway 97 blends solid craftsmanship with a dash of originality, delivering a drinking experience that feels both comfortable and a little bit daring—exactly the kind of place where a beer lover can relax and still feel a little adventurous.
