Abandoned Rail Brewing Co. currently tops our Penticton ranking with a combined 4.8 out of 5 across BreweryFinder and Google Reviews. Rankings use a Bayesian weighted score so this reflects both rating quality and review volume, not just a single glowing review.

How many craft breweries are in Penticton?

What data are these rankings based on?

These rankings combine 2,466 public reviews collected from Google Reviews (via the Google Places API) with reviews written directly on BreweryFinder.ca. Each brewery's score is a Bayesian weighted average that balances rating quality against review volume, so a brewery with 500 reviews averaging 4.7 outranks one with a handful of perfect scores.

How often are the Penticton brewery rankings updated?

Rankings refresh every 30 days when we re-fetch Google Reviews data (Google's Places API terms cap review caching at ~30 days). BreweryFinder community reviews are counted the moment they're posted, so scores can shift between refreshes as new reviews come in.
