Come join us at The Nest for some holiday cheer

Season’s Greetings!
It’s getting close to the holidays and your CAMRA South Okanagan Executive are sending all CAMRA SO members and supporters our best wishes during this special time of the year.

In addition, we’re passing along a quick message about this Thursday’s holiday social get-together.

CAMRA Winter Social
We are looking forward to seeing members at The Nest between 5:30-7:30pm this Thursday (December 16) for our CAMRA SO Winter Social at The Nest.

Randy has some great beers lined up, plus some food specials to nibble on. For our members in good standing, each will receive a gift of a $10 credit towards their bill at the event! There is no charge to attend, just pay for whatever you order. There will be special event pricing on the beer as well as some food specials.

A section of tables will be reserved for our group – please indicate you are “going” at this Facebook event link so we can have an idea of number of attendees.

CAMRA SO – Join us this week!

Hello CAMRA SO Members!

It’s great to be able to send this to everyone now that some social restrictions have been relaxed! The recent positive news from the BC Government Public Health Office (PHO) that Step 1 of BC’s Restart Plan is in place now is exciting. This phase includes seated outdoor organized gatherings of up to 50 people, with a COVID-19 Safety Plan. This means we can host a structured social event up to that number of guests. So, let’s get together for a “Beer at the Beach” and catch-up – details below!

Updated Craft Beer & Cider News

Hello CAMRA SO members!
Yes, this current newsletter is following quite closely on the heels of the last one – and it’s because we have some newsworthy items to share with you!  Plus, it’s great that the recent Phase 3 COVID-19 changes will allow many people to carefully enjoy more activities as well as the ability to travel more freely. Many will choose to come to visit the South Okanagan, so as we welcome these visitors from other parts of BC and Canada let’s raise a glass (or can or bottle) to a safe, healthy and fun summer season!

CAMRA SO January Newsletter & 2018 Recap – January 13, 2019

Happy New Year, CAMRA SO Members and Friends

We would like to start 2019 by thanking you, our members, for making 2018 our best year yet! Attendance at our signature events soared to capacity, with some events selling out in a single day. Our little South Okanagan Branch is one of the most active regions in BC, and we attribute this to the love of beer that drives our executive team, business partners and members. All of our events started as dreams shared over a pint of craft beer, and with a bit of luck, some help from our friends, and a whole lot of hard work, we’ve crafted those dreams into annual events that grow bigger and better each year!
