Penticton鈥檚 Beer Run is back. Ten Penticton craft beer tastings along a scenic 10-km course with a beer at the finish line to top off the day on Saturday, Oct. 14.

Starting at Penticton鈥檚 newest brewery, Abandoned Railway, participants will enjoy this year鈥檚 route starting out by cruising down the KVR trail as they sample their way through Penticton.

Tastings from Barley Mill, Cannery, Tin Whistle, Neighbourhood, Slackwater, Highway 97, Firehall, Giant鈥檚 Head, Yellow Dog, and Abandoned Railway are included.

Partial proceeds will again be donated to the Youth Outdoor Recreation Society, a not-for-profit that supports getting local youth active in the outdoors, promoting healthy lifestyles and mental health through outdoor recreation opportunities.
