Brew Beer or Cider? Craft & Country at Big White Wants You!
The festival draws in nearly 1,000 each year, and there are no fees for our beverage vendors. That means you get to showcase your brew to hundreds of people for just the cost of product sampled! In past years, we saw samples from Okanagan Spring, Neighbourhood Brewing, Corbys Wine and Spirits (Absolut Vodka Sodas), Barkerville Brewing Company, No Boats on Sunday, Vice and Virtue, Red Collar Brewing, Wards Cider, Britannia Brewing Co. and Backroads Brewing and so many more.
We are excited to welcome back The Heels to our Big White Stage! By incorporating influences ranging from classic country, gospel, and Motown, with organic, three-part harmonies, Bobbi Smith, Brittni Dominelli, and Kyla Rawlins offer stories that speak the language of modern women, complete with good-natured brash and sass. Combine their dynamic live show that showcases each of their distinctive voices and personalities, with a kickin’ backing band, you’ve got Canada’s pop-country queens, The Heels.
A small, independent, brewery and taproom located in the heart of Nelson on Baker Street. Backroads brews up a wide variety of traditionally inspired, award winning, ales and lagers.
Named after the infamous outlaws who travelled the Smugglers Trail during BC's 19th Century gold rush. Our award winning brewery continues to embody that same enterprising spirit in our craft, producing delicious beers with memorable character.
With 100+ years combined experience, it’s safe to say our brewmasters know what they’re doing—and that they don’t mess around when it comes to ingredients. Only the best will do: premium two-row Canadian barley, quality hops, our own signature yeast strain, and 100% pure Okanagan spring water go into every beer we make.
From the beginning, creativity has been at the heart of everything we do. Whether that’s creating new beers, tweaking a current recipe, crafting quality food that pairs perfectly alongside, or working with talented local artists to create new and innovative labels. We are very fortunate to be doing what we love to do right here it in the heart of our own community and Kelowna’s now burgeoning “brewery district”.
Established in 1922, the family owned, Wards Cidery has continued to encompass an all-natural, farm to table approach to cidermaking while still managing to be creative and innovative. Using traditional, estate grown, cider apple varieties, originally planted by granddad Ward you can expect a truly authentic and unique experience. The tasting room is set in a vintage apple packinghouse, nestled amid orchards and vines, and just minutes from downtown. You can look forward to a friendly and approachable atmosphere at the cidery, as well as a tasting that has something for everyone!
Founded in 2005, Red Truck Beer Company is one of BC’s premier craft breweries, winning numerous awards for its carefully brewed beers. Built on values of a simpler time, when a handshake was a contract and beer was brewed honestly, by everyday, hardworking people. This grapefruit and lime flavoured wheat beer plays homage to the Paloma, the popular tequila based cocktail, first created in the small cantina “La Capilla” in Tequila Mexico. Some say this was where refreshment was born.. I actually made that up but it is really refreshing. Salud!
Neighbourhood Brewing is a place where great beer meets delicious Mexican style food, and where friends and family come together to have a good time.
Bad Tattoo Brewing is a craft brewery located in Penticton BC. Like a true bad tattoo, our brews are handcrafted and leave you with a great story to tell. Earlier this year we brought home four awards at the Canadian Craft Brewing awards including GOLD for Sol Vida Cerveza Clara in the highly competitive North American Lager category.
