Vancouver, Canada, July 09, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Fraser Valley Hop Farms Inc., is pleased to announce that the company has entered into a lease agreement with Sincere Realty Inc, renting commercial store front office space.The site will facilitate a micro brewery and office area for the growing farm. Located in the city of West Vancouver, with-in walking-distance proximity to small pubs and a popular marina.
The farm forecasts an operational time-line, as a small scale craft beer producer in early 2018. Due to the global shortage of hops, the micro-brewery should not see any complications in fulfilling the needed hops. Doors will be open for the public for tours, educational courses, networking events and marketing both the selling of hops and craft beer.
“We’re very excited to be up and running there by early next year,” said Marketing Director Shane Toews. “We’ll be opening a facility that, in addition to our producing hops farm, the new micro-brew-house allows us an opportunity to increase production while gaining a first hand look at how our hops are used to produce craft beer. We hope to set the bar high with a quality product, for our customers to enjoy as we want to keep them coming back!”
The micro-brewer plans to focus and specialize in traditionally-brewed, English-style ales made with the finest malted barley, hops and water which are designed for the beers.

As a leader in the Hops Farming industry, craft beer produced by the farm hops to be grounded on the casual dining segment with a fresh buy local vibe.
