Two long-time friends wanted more craft beer in their own backyard. Not only did they brew the beer they wanted, but they built a better backyard.
That beer and that backyard patio, both crafted with an emphasis on the outdoors and buoyed by friendly staff and next-level campfire food, have earned Langley’s Camp Beer Co. the BC Ale Trail’s 5th Annual Best Brewery Experience Award.
Since it opened three years ago, Camp Beer Co. has established itself as a go-to destination for locals and craft beer tourists alike. Credit the expansive, pet-friendly patio with fire pits and live music on the ‘Campitheatre’; the Canadiana-themed décor scheme of the lodge-like tap room that runs the gamut from Camp to Camp-y; a core beer lineup that includes Camp Lager, Upstream Pale Ale and Anorak IPA; and nostalgic, camping-inspired fare like Smokies, Spuds and S’Mores on offer from the Camp Cookhouse.
Co-owner Kevin Larsen and Head Brewer Dave Henry first met at the Full Barrel Homebrew Club. Over many beers and cask nights at fellow Langley beer pioneer Trading Post Brewing, they decided to set up their own Camp in a former bingo hall in the heart of Langley.
Post-pandemic Camp expanded their patio and taproom space and revamped their food menu. What was originally planned to be pretzels and hot dogs has morphed into camping-inspired cuisine from the Camp Cookhouse: creative twists on smokies, spuds, and s’mores. Other highlights include BBQ Brisket Tater Tots, the towering Tin Can Nachos, and brunch waffles with Bourbon maple syrup.
On the patio, the Camphitheatre (see what they did there?) features live music every Thursday and Sunday from acoustic solo and duo performers. And while dogs are welcome on the Camp patio every day, Tuesday is Dogs of Camp Day, featuring discounted hot dogs, Camp-accinos, and the bliss of being around friendly canines. Water bowls and leash tie-ups are everywhere, and yes, there is a handy poop station for pups. There’s even a regular on-leash cat who visits, and the patio has also welcomed birds and bunnies.
