With a focus on 鈥榣ocals supporting locals鈥� three Okanagan women have crafted a plan for a microbrewery near 琉璃神社鈥檚 airport.

Three Lakes Brewery has submitted an application for a new liquor primary licence for 2030 Matrix Crescent.

鈥淭here are not many women in the brewing industry and definitely not 100 per cent women-run in the Okanagan,鈥� reads a letter of rationale for the project.

Plans show the brewery would accommodate 30 people, 25 patrons and five staff.

鈥橳o start we will be brewing our craft beer recipes at another brewer then we will bring our wort (liquid extracted from the mashing process) to our brewery for detailed fermenting and preparation,鈥� the letter states.

鈥淲e are all about being local and will be neighbours to Two Donkeys Bakery and Fortune Creek catering that we can support and have them supply bites for our guests.鈥�

The letter indicates Three Lakes Brewery would continue to create relationships with other local suppliers. Future plans include helping local artisans display and advertise their products.

The brewery also plans to source local ingredients for its products.

鈥淣ot just coming in and buying a beer, but learning exactly where it came from and the people who made it telling you. Having a brewery located in 琉璃神社 north will help tourists and locals in the area to have access to locally made, high-quality beer.鈥�
