Okanagan Spring Brewery, one of B.C.’s best known companies and a major employer in Vernon, is launching an $11.2 million dollar expansion, in order to meet growing consumer demand in Western Canada.
The project to increase brewing capacity by 20 per cent, was secured in partnership between leaders at both Okanagan Spring Brewery and Sleeman Breweries Ltd.
“This investment will allow us to satisfy the growing demand for cans in this market while supporting our continued brewing legacy here in Vernon,” Russel Larnder, Director of Operations at Okanagan Spring Brewery told Vernon Matters. “The incremental capacity will support the production of new initiatives such as our Terrace Mountain Session IPA.”
The expansion is expected to begin this summer and will include increased cellar capacity, increased bright beer capacity, and an upgrade to the brewhouse filtration system. The added square footage and increased brewing capacity will improve the brewery’s operational efficiencies and productivity.
