Canada, BC: Highway 97 Brewery officially opens new location in downtown Penticton

11 months after it was first announced, Highway 97 Brewery has officially opened its new and improved location in downtown Penticton, the Canadian Beer News reported on December 22.

The new spot at 200 & 202 Ellis Street is situated across the street from Cannery Brewing and within a few blocks of Slackwater Brewing, Neighbourhood Brewing, and Bad Tattoo Brewing.

The 6,000-square-foot space will allow Highway 97 to expand its brewing capacity up to four times its previous output, and features a dining room and patio that can accommodate up to 132 customers, up from just 36 at the brewery’s original location.

A full line-up of Highway 97 beers are currently available on tap, including Czech Craft Pilsner (5% abv), Amber Ale (5.4% abv), High Alpine IPA (5% abv), and Rusty Muffler Red IPA (6.2% abv). The food menu is currently limited, but will be expanded to include more options in the new year.
