All Agricultural in Peace River

Peace River Brewing is one of the community’s favourite hangout spots—and for good reason. This family-friendly taproom keeps the good times rolling all year long with everything from comedy nights and live concerts to cornhole leagues, and all kinds of community events.

Step inside and you will find a chill, laid-back vibe, great for sipping a pint with friends or meeting new ones. They serve a full lineup of craft beer and kombucha, plus a full bar and a delicious food menu with a Mexican twist—while still keeping their classic soft pretzels on the menu.

Stay for a pint, fill a growler, grab cans or spirits to go, and don’t forget to check out their awesome swag while you’re there. It’s a local favourite and a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the region.
