This year's event is taking place from Oct. 4-12 and 22 breweries are involved.

To kick off this year's festivities, a party is taking place on Oct. 4 at one of Kelowna's newest establishments, Three Lakes Brewing. Located at #7-2030 Matrix Crescent, there will be live music, prizes for whoever dresses in the best golf attire, a magician, and The Lobster Pot food truck.

From 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., prizes are available for those who beat the brewers in a game of bowling. Many brewers will be on scene with their beer for people to try and samples are $2.50 each. It's $10 per hour to bowl.
