BNA Brewing Announces Second Location in Vernon, B.C.

Exactly nine years ago, Founders Kyle and Carolyn Nixon opened the doors to BNA Brewing Co. & Eatery in Kelowna. Now, they're excited to bring the same fun and welcoming atmosphere to the Vernon community.

Our team is currently transforming a half-century-old industrial building on Kalamalka Lake Road – locals will recognize it as the old Finning building near the northern end of the Okanagan Rail Trail. This location provides the perfect canvas and character to bring the vision to life. “We love the two levels and the industrial roots of this building as it provides a completely different-yet-somehow-familiar feel and experience to the brick and timber we have in Kelowna,” says Carolyn Nixon.

Kyle, a former Vernon Vipers hockey player, looks forward to spending more time in the city again. “I have fond memories of this place and made great friends in Vernon. The people have already been so supportive of BNA, so we can’t wait to bring what we do to town and hopefully make an impact in a positive way.”

In addition to an on-site craft brewery and large eatery, our Vernon location will feature boutique 10-pin bowling lanes and some family-friendly “duckpin” bowling lanes. Guests can also enjoy a retro-inspired arcade and an outdoor bocce court.
