6Chaos & Solace Craft Brewing Co.This community-focused brewery pours its passion for the craft in every glass of beer.Located in Chilliwack’s historic downtown in a beautiful, mid-century brick building that was originally a Safeway grocery store, Chaos and Solace was founded by two local businessmen with a passion for their community and, of course, for craft beer. As they renovated the space to install the brewery, they revealed brick walls and the original fir ceiling and beams, and re-used wood to build tables and counters in the tasting room. They did such a good job that within a few months of opening, the brewery won a local Heritage Business Award for best commercial use of a historic building. Beers are named for local landmarks or historical events, and often utilize local ingre-dients, including hops and produce from local farms, and coffee beans from a local roaster.9360 Mill St, Chilliwack604-391-1000chaosandsolacebrewing.com

Located less than an hour’s drive east of Vancouver, tucked between the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges, the Fraser Valley is a mix of relaxing countryside and rugged backcountry beauty. It is the largest agricultural region in British Columbia, making it the ideal place to take in authentic farm fresh experiences. Get lost in berry patches and apple orchards, visit a local farmer’s market or fill your belly with a farm-to-plate meal. And along the way, sample a wide variety of delicious, locally brewed craft beers.

Hops, which are a key ingredient in beer that provide bitterness, fla-vour and aroma, have been grown in the Fraser Valley for more than a century. In the 1940s and 1950s, nearly 2,000 acres of hops were under cultivation there, drawing thousands of hop pickers during harvest time at the end of each summer. Gradually, the industry dwindled away, but recently, hop farming has returned to this fertile agricultural region — largely thanks to the growth of craft brewing there.

Exploring the Fraser Valley is all about following your thirst and making new discoveries.

5Old Yale Brewing CoOld Yale has been blazing trails and brewing beer in Chilliwack since 1999.Old Yale recently moved into its big and beautiful, purpose-built space giving it more room for brewing beer, as well as for serving enthusiastic customers in its tasting room. The brewery’s original founder was a retired Air Force pilot who was stationed in Goose Bay, Labrador for a time. Visiting pilots from around the world often shared beers from their homelands, which showed him that beer could be much more interesting than what he was used to from the big breweries here. Old Yale has stayed close to those roots by brewing world-class, award-winning beers, including its Sasquatch Stout, which was named Beer of the Year at the 2014 Canadian Brewing Awards.44550 S Sumas Rd #404, Chilliwack604-392-2011oldyalebrewing.com
