Farmhouse Brewing Co.

There are only a handful of farm-based breweries in British Columbia, and even among those, very few grow their own barley and hops because of the amount and type of land required. However, Farmhouse Brewing is doing just that on its 11.5-acre farm in the Greendale area of Chilliwack. Founded by a husband-and-wife team with three children who had previously operated a smaller hobby farm, the brewery is located in a custom-built facility with a tasting room, heated patio and outdoor picnic areas. Outside features a children’s playground, professional mini-golf for ages 16+ and an outdoor bar.

Brewer Josh Rempel home-brewed for a long time and then learned the professional side of the craft by studying at the Siebel Institute in Chicago and working at Field House Brewing in Abbotsford, and Streetcar Brewing in North Vancouver. His beer lineup at Farmhouse features a solid mix of staple core beers with some seasonals mixed in from time to time. 

The 18-tap tasting room kitchen features artisan-style food pairings utilizing a large Forno Bravo oven along with other appies and snacks. For dessert, how about cheesecake or Farmhouse s’mores featuring beer marshmallow, graham cracker chocolate chip cookies and chocolate pot de creme.
