The Columbia Brewery is a brewery that was a part of the Fort Steele Brewery which was established in 1898 by Fritz Sick in Creston, British Columbia.[1]

The brewery is known for Kokanee, a light Pilsner-style beer.[2] In the past, Kokanee beers were canned near Vancouver, British Columbia. After undergoing a large expansion of around 44,000 square feet (4,100 m2) in 2005, the Columbia Brewery now produces up to one million cans of beer a day.
