About Kind Brewing Tasting Room
Gellatly Bay draws people down to the water for most of the year, and Kind Brewing Tasting Room sits on that side of West Kelowna at 2405 Main Street, with a phone line at +1-250-768-6891. The room is built for pouring and comparing rather than just shelving bottles, with the counter as the place where questions about what is pouring that day get answered.
The west side has turned into an eating and drinking destination in its own right over the past two decades, which is not something anyone would have said of it when the benches were mostly orchard. Rooms like this one have a lot to do with that. Gellatly Bay brings people down to the beaches, the boat launches and the shoreline walkway through the warm months, and the vineyard slopes of Mount Boucherie rise directly behind. Somewhere to sit down and work through what is being made locally fits neatly into that kind of afternoon.
If you are planning a visit, a few things are worth checking by phone first. Tasting rooms set their own rules about flight sizes, whether full pours are offered as well as samples, what can be carried out in cans or growlers, and whether anything is served to eat. Access for children, group bookings and patio seating all differ from place to place. Seasons matter here too, since the west side runs at a very different pace in August than it does in February, and a quiet winter afternoon can mean a shorter day at the counter. Calling ahead saves the drive in from Glenrosa, Smith Creek or across the bridge.
