Single Cans to Support Evacuees

We will be selling single cans of Impeachment and Alternative Facts for consumption in the tasting room. These beers will not be on draught, only in cans, and $1 of each can sold will be donated to helping the evacuees of the BC Wildfires. It’s an easy and delicious way to support your community, so we hope to see you soon! We will be running this fundraiser until it’s not longer relevant or we no longer have beer 😉.

Backyard BBQ #4

The fourth summertime Backyard BBQ is next Saturday (July 22nd) once again featuring a unique cask beer and this time we’ll have ribs on the BBQ! The hot kitchen will otherwise be closed, so please come join us for ribs, baked beans and cornbread on the patio!
Quantities are limited – so both food and cask beer is first come, first serve, no tickets or reservations!
The BBQ will run from 4-7pm and then we will have live music from James & The North Shore starting at 8pm!

Canada Day BBQ and Casks

Bring your Canada Day celebrations to Red Collar to enjoy a pint of one of our limited release Canada Casks with the classic pairing of gourmet hot dogs.

Backyard BBQ #2

For our second Backyard BBQ of the 2017 season we have teamed up with Valley First, and are hosting this BBQ as a fundraiser for the Kamloops Food Bank.

Summer Hours

Tuesday to Saturday: 1pm-10pm
Sunday: 1pm-7pm
Hope to see you this summer!

Impeachment and Alternative Facts: CANS Join the Red Collar Line Up

Two new brews have joined our beer line up, and for the first time ever, they have been packaged in 4x473ml tall boy cans. The two new beer are dubbed “Impeachment” and “Alternative Facts”, the former being a soured peach Witbier and the latter a clouded zero IBU IPA. Branded in political jest, you could say we have a lot of feelings about the current administration governing our buddies to the south.
We intend to have these brews available (somewhat) consistently over the course of the summer, so if you come in and we’ve run out (SAD!), don’t dispair, we will likely have another batch ready within a week!
Cheers to summer beers!

Rye, Rye, Rye (& Ginger) Launch Party

Red Collar Brewing and Western Canada Theatre Present:
Rye, Rye, Rye (& Ginger) Launch Party

We’ve bottled one of our favourite seasonals to celebrate WCT’s production of “Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash”. We are hosting a launch party in the tasting room on Saturday, February 11th from 7-9 to toast both the beer and the play it is named after.

Local musicians Abby Wale and Stuart McCallum will be putting a modern touch on the iconic classics of Johnny Cash. WCT will be raffling off tickets to the production which runs from February 23rd until March 4th.

This is a free event, but come early as space is limited.
