Ricochet Brewing and Taphouse (Craft Beer & Brewery in Salmon Arm BC)

Ricochet Brewing and Taphouse sits in Tappen, just a stone’s throw from Salmon Arm, British Columbia, and it feels more like a community laboratory than a commercial taproom. The place is run by the indomitable husband‑and‑wife team Marc and Meaghan Zaichkowsky, who turned a work injury into a full‑time passion for brewing. Their story is evident in every glass: each batch is handcrafted with the kind of meticulous care usually reserved for fine watches, and the flavours echo the wild beauty of the Shuswap region.

The taphouse boasts 36 taps, all pouring beers brewed on‑site, alongside an impressive roster of local BC craft ales and ciders. Families are welcomed with board games and kid‑friendly snack flights, while the cosy atmosphere encourages lingering conversations. Food is sourced from nearby vendors, underscoring the brewery’s commitment to supporting local businesses. In short, Ricochet delivers inventive, high‑quality brews without the pretentious fluff—just good drink, good company, and a genuine love of the craft.
