Alas, Spring is upon us! Is it just us or can you almost feel yourself defrosting as you step out into that crisp Spring sunshine? Every year, by the time Spring rolls around we are SO ready for longer days and a little sunshine to lift our spirits. And we may be a little biased but DAMN, the Fraser Valley looks real good when a little sun shines down on it. I mean what better place to spend Spring than the most beautiful place in BC!? With towering mountains, thundering rivers, and vast fields the Fraser Valley truly is #yourstoexplore. So let’s dust off our hikin’ boots, shake out our plaids, pick up some 6-packs and get to explorin’!

Our collaboration showcases classic Bavarian Pilsner malt and the latest German hop varieties. Crisp with a slight bitterness, Ariana and Callista provide a fruit forward flavour profile with notes of Black Currant, Peach, Vanilla and a hint of Passionfruit.
12 Days of Christmas Donations
At Old Yale, we are SO PROUD to be a part of this amazing community and we want to see it continue to thrive and grow. And that just wouldn’t be possible without all the amazing non-profit organizations working as hard as they do. Last December we decided to spread some extra holiday cheer to some of these amazing organizations in our community by donating $1000 to each of them. We wouldn’t be able to do this without your continued support, so thank you!
