Hatching Post
Jason Parkes Customs has opened its new Hatching Post Brewery and Smokehouse along the West Kelowna wine trail.
The brewery is JPC’s fifth venture in West Kelowna, joining wineries The Hatch, Black Swift and Crown and Thieves, along with the Truck 59 Cidery.
The new building across Boucherie Road from the Volcanic Estate Winery has the look of a wild west saloon, and serves up southern style barbecue classics like smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, locally made sausage and smoked chicken.
Chef Ryan Byrne said it’s an establishment that caters to dedicated carnivores with a taste for beer, wines, or ciders.
“What we’re trying to achieve is kind of like traditional southern, Texas-style barbecue. So, a lot of big smoke, big primal cuts of meat,” explains Chef Ryan Byrne. “In addition to that, we’re using mainly locally-sourced Canadian ingredients. So, like a lot of B.C. meats and stuff like that.”
