We're under new ownership! We have around 12 different beers on tap at a time and try to have something that will suit every taste. We also have a food truck serving tasty food year-round, and we're the only place to sip a pint and watch the sunset go down in Summerland (west facing), plus we have live music every Friday!

Detonate has come a long way since it first exploded into the emerging Summerland brewery scene in 2017.  The original owner, Nathan Rosin, founded the nano-brewery and the label became popular with locals around the valley. In 2022, Nate decided it was time to pass the torch and found a young, enthusiastic, budding brewer in Jonah Cadieux-Johnson. Jonah was fresh off a long cycling trip and ready for his next adventure. He was new to brewing but jumped in headfirst learning the trade under his new mentor Nate. He began operations with Nate and, absorbed all he could during his apprenticeship. Now, after learning to brew and completely redoing the tasting room, Jonah is ready “Detonate” the brewing scene with a mix of brews of original run and new beers of his own creation. 

Jonah says, “Detonate values the classics that many patrons love, but we aren’t afraid to take chances when it comes to mixing up new beers.”  At Detonate, you’ll find something to meet everyone’s taste from a crisp clean pilsner to a sweet and zesty wheat ale to a thick dark IPA and a zippy taco beer.   

Detonate beers are soon to be found at local restaurants and in a liquor store near you! In the meantime, the tasting room is open for flights and pints, growler fills are available for takeaway, and food from our very own food truck is ready to satiate your cravings.

HAVE A BLAST!
