We received an email today from a gentleman who just moved to Langley seeking our advice on where to find good beer in the Fraser Valley. His email inspired me to write a brief guide to good beer in the Fraser Valley. Sadly, the choices are few and far between, but there are options nonetheless.
Best Liquor Stores:
- BC Signature Liquor Store in Langley
- Central City Liquor Store in Surrey
Best (only) Brewpubs:
- Big Ridge in Surrey
- Central City in Surrey
- Mission Springs in Mission
Note: These brewpubs will let you fill up a 2L growler at the bar for a very reasonable price. Big Ridge fills a growler for $7 on Tuesdays, has cask beer available at noon the last Friday of every month, and hosts the occasional brewmaster’s dinner.
Other options:
- Old Yale Brewing in Chilliwack
Old Yale, and possibly other valley breweries, will let you buy direct from them. This is likely the best way to acquire fresh beer affordably.
Have I missed anything?
Cheers,
Chris
