There\u2019s something special about patio season in British Columbia. Long summer days, fresh local beer, and a seat in the sunshine have a way of bringing people together.<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

From waterfront decks and mountain-view taprooms to urban patios tucked into vibrant neighbourhoods, brewery patios offer some of the best places to gather, unwind, and enjoy the flavours of BC. Whether you’re meeting friends after work, sharing a meal with family, or spending an afternoon with your dog by your side, these outdoor spaces help make the most of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

With so many exceptional brewery patios across the province, narrowing down a list is no easy task and this list was created by polling you \u2014 our BC Ale Trail fans.

Barnside Brewing<\/h3>\n

Situated amongst the fields of hops, cranberries, and grazing sheep, Barnside Brewing\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0four-season patio is one of the best places in BC to experience craft beer, conversation and community, according to craft beer fans. The dog-friendly space welcomes everyone in for award-winning craft beer, tasty eats and great company.<\/p>\n

Originally built as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the patio was a way for the brewery to welcome customers while taking advantage of relaxed rules around outdoor service.\u00a0 Since then, the space has evolved to include a covered, heated patio that’s cozy in all seasons, plus a grassy area perfect for soaking in the sun in a lounge chair with a cold craft beer in hand. Barnside won the BC Ale Trail Best Brewery Experience award in 2023, and the feature blog<\/a> is well worth a read to learn more about the brewery’s origins and the team’s commitment to locally sourced ingredients and community.<\/p>\n

But perhaps Barnside’s fans say it best:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a place where hops have swagger, meals have personality, and time seems to lean back in its chair!\u201d – @tamarastanderwick via Instagram<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
