From May 10 to 19, take a long, cool drink or several trendy sips from the vibrant craft beverage scene of Langley. The second annual Langley Craft Beverage Week presents a series of liquid, lively and fun events hosted by the Langley Loop Craft Collaborative. The collaborative – a network of local breweries, cideries and distilleries – invites enthusiasts to partake in 13 unique experiences showcasing the best of Langley‘s craft beverages.
Enjoy experiences hosted by participating businesses, ranging from innovative product launches to sampling events, featuring both ticketed and flexible, no-tickets-required occasions. The lineup includes outdoor festivals such as the seventh annual Brewhalla Fort Langley and the inaugural Spirits in the Park, which promises to be a showcase of BC’s finest craft spirits.
As a highlight of Craft Beverage Week, the Langley Loop Craft Collaborative has brewed a special collaboration beer: a Valley Berry Sour, made at Dead Frog Brewery. This juicy fruit-forward beer, made with a blend of five berries from across the Fraser Valley, will be available for purchase during the event period. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this beer will be donated to The Langley Food Bank.
The Langley Loop Craft Collaborative is comprised of the following businesses: The Barley Merchant, Brookswood Brewing, Camp Beer Co., Dead Frog Brewery, Farm Country Brewing, Five Roads Brewing, Fraser Valley Cider Company, Locality Brewing, Trading Post Brewing, Smugglers Trail and Roots & Wings Distillery.
