Nelson Brewing Company

NBC opened in 1991 in a historic building that housed the original Nelson Brewing and Ice Company back in 1897. The modern-day operation was a pioneer microbrewery in the Kootenays, BC’s first craft operation east of the Okanagan, and played a big role in introducing craft beer to the region. Its beers are available throughout BC but there’s nowhere better to enjoy them than in the city that gave the brewery its name. They are proud to have been crafting beer that has not only been enjoyed by locals for over 30 years but has become an integral part of the Kootenay Lifestyle.
