Columbia Brewery

Creston brewery best known as the home of Kokanee beer.

Columbia Brewery is the home of Kokanee, the beer brand that made Creston familiar to many Canadians long before they could point to it on a map. The brewery sits on Erickson Road on the east side of town, surrounded by the agricultural valley that feeds Creston's fruit-stand reputation.

Tours and visitor access have varied over time, so check locally before planning around it. Even from outside, it is a useful stop because it ties Creston's working-town identity to one of British Columbia's better-known labels.
