Kamloops is in the midst of a craft spirits boom
KAMLOOPS — First it was wine. Then, craft beer. Now, craft spirits are the new beverage craze on the block in Kamloops, with two craft distilleries operating in the city, and two more on the way. CFJC Today takes a look at the two distilleries that opened their doors in the past year to find out more about the local spirits they’re producing.
They’re the original Kamloops beer dynasty. Now, the Beardsell family has expanded their business into craft spirits.
“We’ve been doing beer for a long time. We’re definitely a beer family,” Lara Beardsell tells CFJC Today. “It’s kind of nice to be doing something different, as well.”
