Craft Beer Tapped from Tradition & Passion in the Fraser Valley at Trading Post

By Ashley Lockyer

Explorers and pioneers built Fort Langley, and their adventurous nature lives on at Trading Post Taphouse & Eatery. This Fraser Valley microbrewery honours the local land, tradition, and community. They craft small batch beers with names and flavours that raise a glass to brewmasters past and people present.

“Back then, they didn’t grow the hops for their production yields or economic viability. They grew them because they tasted good,” says Tony Dewald, Brewmaster at Trading Post Brewery.

What’s the best way to learn history? Perhaps, it’s over a pint. Sip one of their beers and you’ll get your fill of stories from the Fraser Valley’s past.

And, their beers aren’t just available in pints or growlers. You can eat them, too.

Try Trading Post’s stout spare rib (featured above and will melt off of your fork), stout gravy, mussels steamed in beer, and beer infused mac & cheese.

“Authentic, honest, and super tasty.” Like their pours, dishes here aren’t typical pub fare. You can taste the genuine care put into the ingredients and preparation.

Their Cheddar Beer Bread’s description simply reads “Warm slices, hop butter.” Enough said.

The Taphouse’s menu is “Chef inspired, farm driven.” It features seasonal produce sourced from local A Rocha farm.

Like Trading Post, A Rocha farm combines their industry’s roots with new techniques. They employ traditional farming methods, modern agricultural science, and educate others on eco-friendly growing practices.

A rainbow of carrots! A Rocha’s produce will make you feel good all around. It’s full of flavour and colour from their nutrient-rich farming methods.

Trading Post has a passion for people and places. Their staff “is excited to build a craft brewery community and thrive on providing exceptional service.” And, it shows. Everyone genuinely cares about your entire experience, from farmer to culinary team to servers.

Step through their big red door and you’ll feel welcome. Drop by and ask Lance Verhoeff about “Shaggy” their resident musk ox. Lance co-founded the brewery with his father and a business partner.
