About Tree Brewing Institute Beer Store
Buying beer to take home is a different errand from drinking it out, and downtown Kelowna handles both within the same few blocks. Tree Brewing Institute Beer Store keeps an address at 1340 Water St, on the stretch that runs parallel to the lake through the heart of the city.
Retail operations attached to a brewery tend to work differently from a general store. The range is narrower and shifts with whatever has just been packaged, formats vary between cans, bottles, growlers and larger fills, and the people behind the counter usually know exactly what came off the line most recently. It is worth asking whether they will fill a container you bring in, what sizes are sold, and whether anything can be set aside if you want a quantity for an event. Bringing your own vessel is not always an option, so ask before you carry one down there.
Water Street sits within walking distance of the waterfront parks, the marina and a good number of downtown hotels, which makes this a simple stop for anyone staying in the core. If you are driving in from the Mission, Glenmore or Rutland, the summer months bring the usual downtown parking squeeze and the meters run right through the busiest hours. British Columbia has its own rules about where alcohol may be carried and consumed, and the beaches along the lake are not a free for all, so plan on taking whatever you buy back to wherever you are staying.
