Production

The brewery is best known for Kokanee, a light Pilsner-style beer 5.0% alcohol v/v. The brewery also produces Kokanee Gold, which is an amber Lager 5.3% alcohol v/v, Kootenay True Ale, is a lighter style ale 5.0% alcohol v/v, Kokanee Light, is a light beer 4.0% alcohol v/v, and as of July 15, 2009, Alexander Keith's, an India Pale Ale 5.0% alcohol v/v.[2] In the past, Kokanee that came in cans was canned near Vancouver, British Columbia. Having recently undergone a large expansion around 44,000 square feet (4,100 m2) since 2005, the Columbia Brewery now produces and cans its own beer.
