The Next Chapter for Penticton’s Slackwater Brewing
The craft beer community recently witnessed a pivotal moment as Penticton’s beloved Slackwater Brewing announced a new partnership. This enthusiastic collaboration with Parkside Brewery, based in Port Moody, promises to keep the flavorful local brews flowing, supporting the brewery’s ambitions beyond the confines of its initial taproom.
Founded in June 2019 by local residents Kelsey and Liam Guerard, Slackwater Brewing quickly became a favorite among craft beer fans, evolving from a small family-run operation into a brewpub that expanded its reach across four provinces. Despite their growing success, the taproom on Martin Street in downtown Penticton closed its doors at the end of October, citing financial and operational hurdles that many breweries face in the competitive craft beer landscape.

Yet, despite these challenges, Slackwater Brewing is moving forward with optimism, maintaining its production and distribution channels. The collaboration with Parkside Brewery is a strategic step to ensure that the unique and flavorful Slackwater brews continue to delight beer lovers everywhere. Declaring their gratitude for Parkside’s support on social media, Slackwater assured fans that their beloved beers are still crafted by some of the industry’s most talented Brewmasters.
This partnership represents just the beginning of Slackwater Brewing’s next chapter. As the brewery’s journey unfolds, they promise exciting developments on the horizon, urging fans to stay tuned for future announcements. This story of resilience and community support highlights the vibrant craft beer culture and the unique partnerships that sustain it.
