Craft beerOur story · Sylvan Lake, Alberta
We started with three friends and an old auto-parts shop. Today, Snake Lake brings together craft beer, cocktails and spirits, with a taproom at the heart of it all.

In 2017, a rig hand, an instrumentation technician and a mechanic left the oil patch to build a brewery. That fall, we transformed Sylvan Lake’s old NAPA Auto Parts into a place to make good beer and share it with good friends.
The family has grown, but that idea still guides us: make drinks we’re proud to pour, welcome people in, and give them a reason to come back.
